In the second game, Xm Sniper completely crushed Larl Storm Spirit in the mid lane, forcing Spirit's supports to protect and farm the mid lane, while Ame Luna farmed without pressure on the side lane! In the mid-game, XG utilized their multiple core advantage to group up and push with Aegis, controlling the game. On Spirit's side, only Collapse Mars could create some tempo, but in the high ground fight, XG seized the opportunity when Mars' ultimate was on cooldown to push aggressively, eventually taking down three lanes of barracks and finishing the game in just 26 minutes to even the score!
