In this match, G2 selected the Yasuo and Yone brother duo, with Yike's Brand, Caps' Yone, and Hans Sama's Jhin dominating their lanes and farming without pressure. In the mid-game, after taking six Rift Heralds, G2 continued to gank and apply pressure on the side lanes! Facing pressure on their bottom lane high ground, PNG could only defend and let go of the Baron, while G2 secured three Water Dragons. In several skirmishes, Yike's Brand dealt massive AOE damage, widening the gold gap to 10,000! PNG hoped to rely on their high ground to stall until Smodge scaled, but TitaN's Xayah was sniped with one shot on the high ground, and G2 secured a 0-for-3 exchange to claim victory!

[6:17] G2 secured the first batch of Rift Heralds!
[6:47] PNG stopped attacking the Dragon and ambushed Yike's Brand in the river. Wizer's Alistar used his ultimate but didn't follow up with damage, allowing G2 to counter and quickly eliminate CarioK's Maokai! dyNquedo's Smodge arrived to kill Brand! Both sides exchanged 1-for-1!
[8:53] PNG secured the first Dragon! Immediately after, a skirmish broke out in the bottom lane, and PNG's multiple members successfully killed the initiating Mikyx's Rell!

Caps' Yone teleported to assist, and G2's four members chased down Alistar, resulting in a 0-for-2 exchange! The gold difference approached 3K!
[14:22] PNG secured the second Dragon! Broken Blade's Yasuo flanked and, with Hans Sama's Jhin's ultimate, held down CarioK's Maokai again! This game had the Water Dragon Soul!
[15:36] G2 invaded the jungle, and Wizer's Alistar teleported from behind to coordinate with teammates, but all four members only managed to hold Yike's Brand! However, G2 had already taken down the mid outer turret! The gold difference was 5K!
[18:00] G2 pushed down the second turret, and PNG attempted a counterattack. Wizer's Alistar used his ultimate to hit four members, but Hans Sama's Jhin stayed outside the circle without dealing damage, while Yike's Brand dealt massive damage standing still!

[27:45] Caps' Yone solo backdoored, forcing two PNG members to retreat, while G2's four members grouped up to secure Baron without pressure!
【29:25】In the top lane team fight, PNG's top and jungle used their ultimates to keep people in place, but dyNquedo's Smite ultimate missed. Mikyx's Rell absorbed three, coordinating with BB's Yasuo to engage, once again helping Yike's Brand to maximize AOE damage! In this wave, G2 achieved a 1 for 2 trade, but PNG forcibly defended the top lane high ground!
【30:57】G2 secured the Ocean Dragon's soul point!
【32:40】G2 split the lanes, and TitaN's Xayah, who was defending the top lane tower, got caught. With low health, he tried to escape, but the jungle-support duo couldn't block the shots for him! Hans Sama's Jhin landed the final headshot, killing Xayah! Subsequently, dyNquedo's Smite didn't activate, barely escaping with a sliver of health, but PNG's formation was completely disrupted! Caps' Yone entered and eliminated Alorath, G2 achieved a 0 for 3 trade, and secured victory from the top lane in one wave!
