In the first game, GEN made a mistake in the early game dive, giving T1 the advantage, but in the mid-game, T1 got a bit greedy wanting to see everything, allowing GEN to overtake them with two team fights + tower pushing! At 23 minutes, T1 saw GEN taking the dragon and decisively rushed Baron successfully! After this defeat, GEN seemed a bit dazed! T1 pushed three towers in a row, killing the jungle and support to widen the economic gap by 5K! In the crucial dragon team fight, Oner Vi initiated, buying enough time, while Gumayusi Ashe in the front line shot a triple kill! T1 executed a 3 for 5 team wipe against GEN, taking the first game from the top lane in one wave!
