A very intense series from start to finish — both teams showed great gameplay and fought until the very end. The first two maps were evenly matched, with each team taking one in return. Everything came down to the decisive third game.
The third game started off fairly balanced, but Vivo Keyd Stars managed to take control despite giving up two early dragons. One player truly stood out — Morttheus, the ADC of VKS, who delivered an incredible performance, dealing over 40,000 damage in the match.
PSG Talon were aware of their composition’s late-game strength and aimed to stall for time. However, one mistake — a drawn-out fight on the top side — sealed their fate. After securing an ACE, VKS pushed straight into the Nexus and destroyed it to claim the victory.
After this match, Vivo Keyd Stars move to a 1-2 record and will have another chance next week to fight in a Bo3 series for their spot in the tournament. For PSG Talon, however, this loss means elimination.
