In the early game of the third match, Wei's Maokai ganked the top lane from behind, taking Breathe's first blood. Subsequently, ON's Bard was repeatedly caught and killed. WBG continued to win fights but the gold difference remained close. In the mid-game, knight's Smolder kept farming, and WBG still dominated the front line, extending their gold lead to 4k.
In the late game, WBG secured Baron, and Elk's Jhin arrived at the pit for a double kill, then took down Crisp for a triple kill. He then hit Tarzan from a distance with W for a quadra kill, and finally, Xiaohu's Corki had nowhere to run and was taken down by Elk for a pentakill! BLG reduced the gold deficit to 2k.
In the final team fight, knight's Smolder's flames were unstoppable. BLG wiped out WBG and pushed down the base in one go, winning the 2024 LPL Summer Championship!
