The first game was highly successful for G2 Esports. All timings were under G2's control, accompanied by a gradual buildup of an advantage through dragons and excellent team fights for objectives. FearX put up a solid resistance; a weaker team would have lost much faster, but the coordination and individual skill of the players kept them in the game until the end.
The second map started with FEARX dominating the early stages of the game and carrying that momentum into the mid-game. However, a few mistakes and overly deep dives from them allowed G2 Esports to get back into the match. G2 clearly understood the strength of their draft, knowing they needed the late game, and they successfully scaled into it. Ornn's item upgrades and excellent teamplay in fights led G2 Esports to victory on this map, resulting in a 2:0 score and match point for G2.
The third map was under the complete control of G2 Esports. There was excellent play across all lanes, and Caps became highly active, which created an even bigger problem for FearX. By the 24th minute, the gold lead had already surpassed 6 thousand, yet G2 did not force plays or rush to finish. This steady and analytical pace led them to a clean 3:0 victory.
