In the closing stages of the map, their experience and macro play allowed them to edge out the opponent and secure the map 13:11.

On Breeze, the game once again began evenly, but as the map progressed, Fnatic gradually took control. Vitality tried to impose an aggressive style and occasionally gained early picks, but Fnatic managed the map and economy more effectively. In the second half, they stabilized their defense, won crucial clutches, and prevented their opponents from building momentum. As a result, Fnatic closed out the map 13:10, sealing the series 2:0.
