The match began very actively on both sides, with each team trying to seize the advantage every minute starting from their lanes. This was particularly noticeable in mid in the Serin vs Vladi matchup. But First Blood went to the Fnatic jungler Xin Zhao with a kill in the top lane.

By the 20th minute, despite the fact that there were not many kills on the map and the score was 4-3, the teams were actively moving across the map working on objectives. And in this direction Fnatic succeeded a bit better, they were able to get soul point by the 22nd minute. But in gold the teams were even, as Team Heretics took many towers, which gave them a lot of gold.

By the 25th minute the number of fights increased further and Team Heretics capitalized excellently on Fnatic's mistakes. They moved wonderfully every time during the fight and found very necessary kills, especially in timings on objectives. Xin Zhao at a critical moment.

A very important victory for Team Heretics and moving to a 5-5 score. And already an unpleasant position for Fnatic.
