In the early game of the first match, both sides developed steadily. In a Rift Herald fight, Levi's Shyvana led a counterattack resulting in a 1-for-2 trade and secured six Rift Heralds. Shortly after, in the Dragon fight, R7 executed a perfect pull-off, achieving a 0-for-3 trade, keeping the economy even.
In the mid-game, GAM continually operated and caught R7 off guard, securing the Baron and gaining a 6k gold advantage. GAM continued to push, taking down R7's three inhibitors, and the gold lead extended to 10k.
In the late game, during the Dragon fight, Levi was killed in a 1v3, and Keine's Syndra secured a double kill. R7 achieved a 1-for-4 trade and secured the Dragon Soul, reducing the gold deficit to 6k. Subsequently, GAM secured another Baron and, with the Baron buff, pushed into R7's base, swiftly destroying it to take the first game.
