The winner of the deciding Game 5 was T1. Dplus KIA started out ahead, but Ryu "Keria" Min-seok’s magnet-like Rocket Grab swung the game back T1’s way.

Dplus KIA claimed first blood in Game 5. Jeon "Siwoo" Si-woo’s Gwen won a favorable trade to burn down the HP and cooldowns of Choi "Doran" Hyeon-joon’s Renekton, and Choi "Lucid" Yong-hyeok’s Ivern arrived right on cue, using Flash to convert it into a kill. Soon after, Dplus KIA caught Moon "Oner" Hyeon-jun’s Trundle in the teamfight around the Voidgrubs, and on the ensuing dive they handed Renekton another death.

Although Gwen was picked off once, Dplus KIA still held the initiative. After knocking down the top outer turret, DK caught the Renekton who stayed to defend bottom and immediately tore down the tier-two as well. Then, around the 17-minute mark, disaster struck: Ryu "Keria" Min-seok’s Blitzcrank yanked Kim "Aiming" Ha-ram’s Smolder and secured the kill. That pick snowballed into T1 taking mid tier-one and tier-two plus the dragon. From Aiming’s standpoint, it was a fatal mistake.

Dplus KIA wavered. Blitzcrank’s hook then caught Cho "BeryL" Geon-hee’s Poppy, and Smolder again in succession, and DK bled three unanswered kills. Gwen arrived late to the sudden skirmish and managed a double kill to put out the immediate fire, but the momentum had already swung to T1. T1 kept it rolling by picking off Heo "ShowMaker" Su’s Tryndamere on a side lane.

Around 25 minutes, T1 tapped Baron to force DK into the pit; Blitzcrank’s hook picked off Poppy and Ivern, and T1 secured Baron on top. Wearing the Baron buff, T1 marched down bot—trading away only the Trundle—then completed the ace to put a definitive end to the series.
