BLG demonstrated the strength expected of the LPL's first seed. In a tightly contested match, BLG capitalized on a T1 misstep, effectively snowballing their lead to secure Baron and take the second game.

T1's 'Oner' (Lee Sin) successfully ganked the aggressive Renekton played by 'Bin', securing the first kill alongside 'Doran' (Ambessa). BLG retaliated immediately, with 'Xun' (Naafiri) picking up two kills by taking down Lee Sin and 'Keria' (Camille). T1 then traded Camille for Renekton in a top-lane dive.

Simultaneous skirmishes broke out in the top and bottom lanes. While no kills occurred top, Ezreal and Ambessa were traded in the bottom lane. BLG targeted Ambessa again for a kill, but a major team fight erupted top where T1 took down 'Bin's' Renekton. However, BLG emerged with a decisive victory, destroying the bottom tier-two tower and extending their gold lead to 4k.

T1 attempted a desperate play by catching 'On' (Bard) top and rushing to Baron. BLG’s remaining champions interrupted the attempt and secured the Baron for themselves, seizing control of the game. Ultimately, BLG leveraged the momentum gained from 'Knight's' Swain in every team fight to close out the game, destroying T1's Nexus at 29 minutes to tie the series 1-1.
