The first map saw G2 Esports demonstrate all the competitive experience they managed to accumulate on the international stage. Although Team Heretics put up some resistance in the early game and secured several dragons, it ultimately proved insufficient. In response, G2 Esports made an excellent tactical decision to claim two Baron Nashors, which granted them a massive advantage in tower demolition. This allowed them to rotate around the map much more freely and lock TH inside their own base. It was a confident map victory for G2 Esports, making the series score 1:0.

On the second map, G2 Esports once again showcased an excellent, textbook performance. They secured a strong draft that remained highly effective across all stages of the game, paired with flawless execution. The team did not rush the pace, methodically building their advantage and steadily squeezing Team Heretics out of map control minute by minute. The series concluded with a 2:0 score in favor of G2 Esports.

This marks the first victory for G2 Esports in the spring split, granting them a 1-0 record in the group. Team Heretics, on the other hand, suffer their second defeat and drop to a 1-2 standing in the regular season.
