With the collapse of the rest of EDG's team members in the mid lane, Gen.G seized game three in 40 minutes and took a commanding 2-1 series lead. This was short-lived, though, as Kim "Rascal" Kwang-hee found an opportunity for a flank against Lee "Scout" Ye-chan, who carried most of EDG's team fights. As their champions scaled, Viper sniped Kim "Life" Jeong-min in a key team fight along the river, forcing Gen.G to reset the Baron and allowing his team to regain map control. However, EDG cautiously stalled and farmed for the late game in the side lanes. Gen.G snowballed their lead early with Clid and BDD unlocking all lanes for their team and earning a chain of map objectives along the way.

However, with a fed Viper threatening the mid and bot lanes and Li "Flandre" Xuan-Jun's Jax pushing the top lane, EDG held the split push edge. Gen.G, on the other hand, found trades on the map and slowed down EDG with their double-support team.ĭuring the Drake and Baron fights, Gwak "Bdd" Bo-seong's Seraphine ultimates masterfully landed on the EDG's members, setting up multiple kills for his team. The series opened with EDG establishing early bot lane dominance with the Lucian-Nami combo of Park "Viper" Do-hyeon and Tian "Meiko" Ye. In the end, it was EDG who figured out Gen.G, outplaying their opponents in the deciding game to break through to the finals.
