In the early stage, both teams of junglers gained something on the sideline - Lilia Gank forced a flash of cards on the road, and Zhao Xin also went to the bottom lane to play the teleportation of small cannons. After testing each other, G2 suddenly exerted its strength: Caps's small cannon was upgraded to level 7 and the first W jumped face Tsar, although the tsar opened a large number of small cannons to advance into the tower, but the small cannon flashed out of the tower and hit the damage of E skills at the same time, and opened Q to chase to complete the counterpoint single kill! G2 Ueno was unwilling to be lonely, and when Zhao Xin caught it, the operation was full, Lilia opened R to leave two people, Yasuo EQ flashed to predict Zhao Xin's flash position, and G2 played a 0-for-2 rhythm to take off~
Lilia got three Void Nest Worms without pressure, and Zhao Xin could only control the earth dragon and barely stop the loss. 11 minutes of small cannon fan tour on the road to no gain, but also by the card cut yellow card into residual blood, T1 Ueno chased all the way into the G2 blue buff wild area, the card opened up to get the head, at the same time the Tsar in the middle of the road to eat plating, G2 lower lane group pushed the line to change to the middle lane, the Tsar spiritually swam to the top of the road, with the help of the card to end Yasuo.

In the later stage, G2 caught the tsar twice in a row, but there were no neutral resources into the account, and finally T1 played 1 for 3 in the big dragon pit, and G2, who grabbed the big dragon, was unable to return to the sky, T1 pushed the middle of the road to end the game in a wave, and turned the tables against the wind 1-0 to get the first point!
Second inning
G2: Zach, Lexier, Clockwork, Callista, Leona
T1: Orn, Foyego, Rock Sparrow, Varus, Neco
In the early stage, G2 assisted Mikyx made continuous mistakes - after the G2 bottom lane group grabbed level 2, he played Niko's double move, which originally established a lane advantage, but Leona went to the T1 jungle area to insert her eyes in the grass, and was chased by T1 Nosuke all the way to send a blood, and after resurrection, she was tragically set on fire by T1 Nakanosuke in the middle lane, giving the rock sparrow a head, and Rexai could only control the Void Nest Worm as a stop loss.
Leona's streak of deaths not only affected the rhythm of the jungler, but also caused T1 to be able to push the line and eat the tapi unscrupulously in the lower lane, and Varus developed far more than Callista. G2 tried to open up the situation in the top half, and with Nakano's play, he played a wave of 1-for-2 to get the next three nest worms in exchange for T1 to control the dragon. Zach switched to the bottom lane to suppress Orn steadily, and successfully ate a blood tower, and then T1 took control of the dragon at the cost of Niko alone, and the two sides exchanged a wave of skill points in the middle lane. In the 17th minute, T1 Nakano caught clockwork on the upper road, but the G2 generals killed the T1 two people in front and back, and released the canyon pioneer to clear the second tower on the road.
Before the dragon was born, G2 Nakano caught the rock sparrow in the upper lane again, and T1 could only give up the middle lane and a tower. G2 soldiers controlled the fire dragon without blood, interrupting the rhythm of T1's dragon soul, and the economy exceeded 3,000. In the middle of the game, T1 faced huge offensive pressure, the rock sparrow opened a big strong stay in the middle of Callista but the rock suddenly failed, G2 everyone rushed to fight back, and the rock sparrow that was standing in a bold position fell to the ground first, although Niko opened a big blow and flew away G2 four, but T1's damage was seriously insufficient, and the clockwork opened a big roll to T1 three, leading G2 to play 1 for 4 and win! The T1 lower lane highland tower was quickly broken, and the economic backwardness came to 9,000, and finally G2 caught and killed Foyego in front of the T1 middle lane highland, Faker's rock sparrow flashed into Leona's arms in reverse, and G2 played a 1-for-4 wave to end the game, 1-1 equalizer!
The third game

G2: Yasuo, Vi, Clockwork, Varus, Bobby
In order to compete for the match point, the two teams were full of gunpowder, and the lower lane group was upgraded to level 3 to fight, and Poppy directly flashed W to interrupt Callista's sliding step, but the E skill did not stun Callista, and T1 was able to counterplay 1 for 2 in the lower lane; Faker's Dragon King was promoted to level 5 and pressed blood to his face first, and Caps's clockwork shuttle flashed and was forced to counterkill, completing the counterpoint single kill for the second time in this BO5!
In the early stage, G2 successfully dragged T1 into the rhythm of "big smash brawl" that he was very good at, and caught the dragon king twice, T1 wanted to open up the situation in the second half of the jungle, but G2 played a wonderful wave of 1 for 3, firmly controlling the rhythm initiative, Wei also controlled two small dragons, and T1 could only kill three nest worms and barely stop the loss. Clockwork got the Archangel and hat two-piece set in 16 minutes, and the development far surpassed the Dragon King, but G2 made a mistake in the first game after gaining a huge advantage, and swapped heads with T1 very aggressively, Nakano and Varus died one after another, failed to roll a bigger economic snowball, and gave T1, especially the Dragon King, a lot of room for development.
After the birth of the big dragon, T1 started the group in the middle of the road with the green steel shadow, and the set of fire ended the clockwork, and G2 Ueno controlled the combo with the picturesque beauty, and played 1 for 3 and got the big dragon, and cleared the second tower of the T1 upper lane. G2 returned to the city to fill up the state and advanced to the middle lane, Bobby flashed E and stunned the dragon king, G2 carried the tower to chase and played 1 for 3 again, T1 lost the soldiers and could only give up the second tower, and then the G2 generals caught and killed T1 in the T1 wild area, and steadily unlocked the water dragon soul, with an economic lead of 6,000! In the end, G2 killed the second big dragon in a group, and each broke through to play 0 for 5 to destroy T1, and sang 2-1 to unlock the match point!
Fourth inning
T1: Quisanti, Zhao Xin, Tsar, Varus, Bard
G2: Poppy, Lexei, Clockwork, Big Mouth, Renata
T1 is quite steady, although the mid-lane exchange in the early stage is very intense, but the Czar handed over the flash the moment he saw Lexie, and did not give him a chance at all. When T1 Nosuke invaded the bottom half of G2's jungle, Bard replaced G2 Nosuke with a double flash, but fortunately, Rexer kept his double buff. Due to Renata's frequent wandering, the T1 bottom lane group held the line control, and Varus led the big mouth by more than 20 knives, and also ate two layers of tapi.
T1 showed solid operational skills during the calm laning period, and obtained all six Void Hive Worms without bloodshed. G2 wanted to break the deadlock, and chose to forcibly take over a wave of team battles after T1 beat Xiaolong, and the big mouth without a costume had poor combat power, and was sent out by Zhao Xin at close range, and T1 took off with a 1-for-4 rhythm ~ G2 lost one tower in the middle and lower lanes one after another, but when T1 pushed it, Bobby teleported around and succeeded, helping Big Mouth get Bud's head. Before the dragon was born, G2 paid the price of Lexus alone, and ended Varus with a big mouth, tightly biting the economic difference of less than 4,000.
In the middle of the game, T1 continued to pull the operation, seized the opportunity that Big Mouth could only develop in the middle, pushed the tower on the two sidelines to grab orders, and maintained the initiative on the field. G2 gradually lost the vision of Dalong's river and chose to speed up the backwater, T1 played 0 for 4 in the front and back of the G2 wild area, and took Dalong into the bag without pressure, rolling an economic snowball of more than 10,000. In the end, T1 pushed the high ground in the middle of the lane, and played a wave of 0 for 4 to end the game, 2-2 to drag the game into the deciding game!
Fifth inning
G2: Zach, Bervis, Rock Sparrow, Jinx, Bobby
T1: Quisanti, Blind Monk, Ahri, Varus, Callista
At the beginning of the game, Mikyx's bush blade Bobby played amazingly - in the 3 minutes, the G2 bottom lane group touched the grass, and when Varus went online to replenish the troops, Bobby decisively flashed WE and stunned Varus, and Jinx made up for the damage to help Bobby get a blood.
In the early stage, G2 lower lane held the right of the line, and the blind monk could only help Ahri catch a wave of mid lanes, although T1 Nakano successfully caught the rock sparrow, but the G2 lower lane fancy kill rhythm was full, and the T1 lower lane group was forced to double flash first, and then the rhythm of death was blown up one after another, on the other hand, Jinx 3/0 started with a dream take-off ~ The collapse of T1's lower lane also affected the gank rhythm of the jungler, and the blind monk who had nowhere to use could only control a small dragon, Belvis controlled the map, gank, and the blind monk each got three void nest worms. In the middle of the game, the generals exchanged a wave of skills on the top lane, Bobby successfully tricked Varus's flash, T1 Nosuke failed to catch the whereabouts exposed, and had no choice but to let go of the Canyon Pioneer, G2 pushed off the top lane a blood tower as he wished, and began to roll the advantage snowball.
T1 chooses to continue targeting the mid lane, and the blind monk touches his eyes and R flash helps Ahri kill the rock sparrow, and the two sides swap a tower in the bottom lane. Before the dragon was born, G2 covered the canyon vanguard and pushed off the first tower in the middle lane, Bobby flashed ER and knocked three people away, but the rock sparrow did not participate in the battle at the first time, G2's follow-up damage was insufficient, T1 was able to retreat to the second tower for counterattack, Faker's Ahri hit G2 double C with two consecutive fatal charms, leading T1 to play 1 for 3, turning the situation around in one fell swoop! In the follow-up, although T1 paid a tragic price of four people to get the big dragon, Jinx did not make an armor-piercing bow for a long time, so that G2 could not deal with Quisanti at all, and T1's teamfight pulling skills were superior, and finally defeated G2 3-2 to advance to the winner's group! G2, which unfortunately lost, will face PSG in the first round of the lower bracket, and we look forward to the wonderful matchup between the two teams!
