An excellent game that showed how giving up a dragon or another objective in exchange for map and lane control can lead to victory. Bilibili Gaming started the match dominating, but Fnatic managed to regroup, find their kills, and make their way back into the game. However, whenever Fnatic tried to take dragons, BLG began pushing mid and top. That strategy ultimately decided the game’s outcome. After Fnatic secured their second dragon, BLG pushed both lanes, forcing Fnatic to retreat quickly, which cost them their positioning. Following that fight — which ended in Bilibili Gaming’s favor — they immediately took Baron and closed out the game after one more decisive teamfight.

Bilibili Gaming emerge victorious in this match, bringing their Swiss Stage record to 1-1. Fnatic, meanwhile, find themselves in a dangerous position at 0-2, now on the brink of elimination.
