In the first game, Mikyx's Nautilus gave up first blood right at the start, and then Zeus's Gragas spectacularly solo killed Hans Sama's Draven in the bot lane! In the mid-game, G2 briefly held a 5-bug advantage, but T1's dragon fight put pressure on G2, and in the dragon soul fight, T1 maneuvered to secure the dragon soul, relying on Zeus's Gragas's brilliant performance to hold G2's mid and jungle! While T1 started Baron, they also pursued G2's bot lane duo! After this big win, G2's economic gap widened to 7K, and the game was set! In the final wave, G2's five-man focus couldn't take down Gragas, and Faker's Ahri chased for a triple kill to end it, with T1 taking the first game in one sweep!
