Game 1 started off with aggressive play from BRION. They applied early pressure across the lanes and gained a slight advantage. However, DRX managed to turn the game around after a crucial fight around Atahan. Wukong proved to be too strong — diving onto three champions, dealing massive damage, surviving the engage, and even stealing Atahan. This swing gave DRX a lead in both experience and gold, which they used to secure the win on the first map.

In Game 2, DRX smelled blood and came in with renewed confidence. From the very start, they played aggressively and kept applying pressure. Early on, it worked — they picked up clean kills and created space for their carries.

Game 3 was all about the BRION duo — jungler Croco and top laner Morgan. These two players were the key to victory. The top lane was completely dominated, with K’Sante ending the game at 0/6/3, unable to fulfill his tank role and effectively becoming useless. After BRION secured their fourth dragon, DRX’s chances completely collapsed. A great performance from BRION led to a 2–1 series win.

With this victory, BRION now sit in 3rd place in the Rise Group with a 7–13 record, while DRX fall to 4th with a 5–14 scoreline.
