In Game 1, both teams played conservatively early on, with the first kill occurring after the 9-minute mark. T1 initiated a four-man dive in the bottom lane to take down 'Smash's' Caitlyn. However, DK responded as 'Siwoo's' Rumble joined via Teleport, helping DK secure four kills. Despite this, T1 maintained a lead in global gold through superior macro play.

DK continued to force skirmishes, with 'Lucid's' Trundle actively looking for ganks. While DK initially found a kill in the top lane, T1 countered effectively during the next gank attempt, securing a significant advantage. By the 20-minute mark, T1 held a 4k-gold lead; they caught out Rumble and Seraphine in the DK jungle and successfully secured Baron Nashor.

T1 leveraged the Baron buff to pressure DK, forced their way through the mid lane, and destroyed DK's Nexus at the 25-minute mark to take the first game.

In Game 2, DK drew first blood by taking down 'Faker's' Anivia. DK then countered a gank from 'Oner's' Vi in the mid lane, allowing 'ShowMaker's' Viktor to pick up a kill. Shortly after, when Vi attempted to target Viktor in the top lane, 'Lucid's' Jarvan IV arrived just in time to turn the fight. Vi was taken down, and in the ensuing skirmish involving both supports, 'Faker's' Anivia also fell, resulting in a favorable trade for DK.

However, T1 turned the tide when 'Doran's' Ambessa dominated a team fight with exceptional Rift Herald control. T1 followed up by securing the next dragon, reaching three stacks. T1 then won a decisive team fight in the mid lane to secure the Dragon Soul, firmly taking control of the game.

Having secured Baron, T1 seized the momentum and began the Elder Dragon to force a response from DK. DK, knowing they could not afford to concede the objective, attempted to contest, but T₩1 the final fight to close out the series 2-0.
