BLG took Game 3 to secure match point first.
BLG got off to a strong start in Game 3. 'Viper' Park Do-hyeon's Ezreal and 'ON's Nami traded kills in a 2v3 situation, while 'Xun's Pantheon eliminated 'Doran' Choi Hyeon-jun's Ambessa through a top gank. BLG then invested further resources into top lane to firmly empower 'Bin's Gnar. Capitalizing on that advantage, they scored big in a dragon teamfight.
Around the 20-minute mark, when 'Faker' Lee Sang-hyeok's Ahri was picked off, T1 answered back by shutting down Ezreal. In the ensuing skirmish, 'Oner' Mun Hyeon-jun's Jarvan IV executed great aggro-swapping to finish off Pantheon. Catching their breath, T1 pushed their momentum further in a dragon teamfight. Jarvan IV stole the dragon, and T1 displayed great focus in the fight to claim additional kills. Ahri's decision to pick off an overextended Taliyah was also crucial.
However, BLG proved why they are BLG. Following an ambush by Pantheon, BLG chained CC to take down Ahri and secure their third dragon, then used Taliyah's ultimate to isolate and kill T1's bot lane duo. In an instant, the momentum swung back toward BLG. T1 attempted a desperate last stand in front of the Dragon Soul, but BLG's calm response handed T1 four deaths.
Easily securing the respawned Baron, BLG applied simultaneous pressure on both top and mid lanes. During the standoff, Ambessa engaged first with her ultimate but was quickly collapsed on, and Jarvan IV was taken down immediately after. Deprived of their frontline, T1 had no choice but to retreat, and a relentless BLG pushed forward to destroy the Game 3 Nexus.
