Though it was a long match lasting over 50 minutes, it was far from boring, delivering a thrilling, edge-of-your-seat battle. Gen.G showed incredible fighting spirit by dragging a disadvantageous game all the way to 50 minutes, but BLG maintained their focus to the very end to claim victory, tying the series 1-1.
BLG secured an early pick on Kiin's Vayne through a clean gank from Naafiri. In response, Chovy's Orianna punished ON's Camille for overextending. However, in the fight in front of the Dragon pit, BLG took down Orianna and Cho'Gath once again. Gen.G made up for their previous losses when Ruler's Ezreal pulled off a super play, predicting Viper's Ziggs' Flash with a skillshot to claim a kill.
With BLG holding two Dragon stacks and a gold lead of around 3,000, a skirmish broke out in the mid lane, trading Vayne for Camille. Although Gen.G suffered further gold losses, they secured the next Dragon to buy themselves more time.
Both teams gathered around the Dragon once more. In the standoff, Gen.G leveraged Canyon's Cho'Gath to secure the Dragon with a Feast-Smite combo before disengaging. BLG initiated a fight, trading Cho'Gath for Camille, but Kiin's Vayne delivered a super play by diving into enemy lines to win the teamfight for Gen.G. However, BLG picked off Orianna and Cho'Gath in a subsequent fight near Baron and took the Baron objective.
Gen.G secured their third Dragon and prepared for the next teamfight. At the 35-minute mark, the kill score was tied at 13-13, but because many of Gen.G's kills were on ON's support Camille, BLG held a slight edge in raw firepower. Gen.G cleanly conceded the next Dragon to scale further into the late game. Meanwhile, BLG quickly rushed Baron, securing the buff while giving up Gnar.
During their Baron buff power play, BLG aggressively pressured top and mid. Gen.G focused on defense, successfully preventing their inhibitors from falling. Then came another Dragon spawn. With both teams tied at three stacks, it was a critical objective. BLG claimed the Dragon without the encounter spiraling into a major teamfight. In the following Baron contest, Gen.G secured Baron through Cho'Gath's power and safely disengaged.
When the Elder Dragon spawned, BLG gained the upper hand by picking off Orianna. Gen.G attempted to continue fighting around Ezreal, but he was eventually taken down, handing BLG a massive teamfight victory. Still, Gen.G's Cho'Gath risked his life by entering the Dragon pit to stop the Elder Dragon from falling into BLG's hands. Nevertheless, BLG maintained their intense pressure and destroyed all three inhibitors. In the end, BLG tore down Gen.G's Nexus, emerging victorious from the grueling 50-plus-minute marathon.
