In the first game, T1's bot lane picked Nilah and Zilean but didn't perform well against Ziggs. Instead, Kingen's Gnar dominated the lane and suppressed Zeus's K'Sante. After 10 minutes, DK killed K'Sante twice. In the team fight at 14 minutes, DK leveraged their frontline advantage to achieve a 0-for-4 trade, expanding the gold lead to 5K!
T1, who secured 5 Scuttles and 2 Dragons early, tried to drag the game out, but DK made no operational mistakes. At 25 minutes, DK took Baron and pushed down two T1 inhibitors, solidifying their lead!
When the second Baron respawned, T1's three-man attempt to catch SMK Taliyah failed, and DK turned to secure Baron. T1 managed to kill Gnar, but DK countered by catching Gumayusi's Nilah. In the top lane, Lucid's Vi held off two T1 members, preventing them from recalling. Aiming's Ziggs teleported to the base and, with the minion wave, successfully destroyed the Nexus. DK won the first game!
