Summary
T1 got out to an early advantage with a perfect Galio ult. Doran surrendered most of that lead with two consecutive deaths to Doggo. T1’s first team dive failed, and the game started to trail away. CFO matched T1’s movements, and they kept them at bay. Kino pulled the trigger first. However, Keria responded. He landed on Doggo, alongside the rest of his team. T1 cleaned up the fight and took Baron. Doggo overplayed his hand on mid-wave again, and T1’s dive hit true to end the game.

- Eddie (4.5) – Caitlyn (5), Miss Fortune (4)
- Bie (4) – Elise (5), Nautilus (3)
Summary
The first game was a back-and-forth. TSW were in the ascendancy first. Their bot lane was ahead, even despite a failed dive. Dire had a significant advantage after a solo kill on Feisty. Then their team fighting failed them. Pun went in too early, and Dire too late. That gave a 4k gold swing. LOS nearly threw their advantage away around the Baron pit. Dire died once again in mid. That death gave tempo to LOS. They won the Baron fight and ended the game.
Dire looked for early roams. His second roam earned a kill. LOS fell behind again. They turned it around quicker with a solid front-to-back teamfight. The lead grew, and the writing was on the wall. Then they took a fight without Kennen ultimate. The lead evaporated. After that mistake, they regained their composure and ended the series.

- Hope – Yunara (3), Jinx (4)
- Kael – Lulu (5), Tahm Kench (6)
Summary
TL put Hope behind early with a dive. He had to swap to get gold. Hope was not allowed to play in fights. Almost every time, Camille and Galio landed on him. Shanks tried his best with his lane lead. He had good Shockwaves, but the rest of the team was too far behind. Even with a scuffed dive in AL’s base, their lead got them over the line.
For the second game in a row, TL got a lead. Yeon was miles ahead of Hope. The game was in their hands. After Shanks forced Yeon to base, TL decided to fight 4v5. They lost the fight and all the momentum. Neither team found an advantage. TL denied the Infernal Soul multiple times. Then a fight broke out around the Baron. Only Yeon lived. TL dominated the rest of the game to end the series.
