In the first game, after BNK FEARX traded 'Raptor's' Wukong for 'Doran's' Rumble, 'Taeyoon's' Ezreal took down 'Keria's' Bard in a 2v2 bot lane skirmish. T1 responded as 'Oner's' Nocturne and 'Faker's' Anivia rotated to the bot lane to secure kills.

A chaotic back-and-forth ensued. BFX held their own in teamfights, matching T1's aggression with sharp plays to keep the game tense. BFX eventually gained an edge when 'Clear's' K'Sante made a super play to quickly eliminate Anivia, allowing them to secure Baron.

T1 turned the tide during a Dragon fight when Anivia used Teleport to flank BFX, quickly taking down Ezreal. T₩1 the fight and secured the Dragon, bringing both teams to three stacks. Riding the momentum, T1 followed up with another brilliant play from Anivia to take down BFX's Ezreal, Wukong, and Neeko.

T1 pushed to end the game, but BFX's K'Sante and Ryze bought time and cleared waves, allowing their three fallen teammates to respawn and defend the Nexus. It was BFX's turn to push, but in a scene reminiscent of the earlier struggle, T1 defended their Nexus and launched a counterattack to secure a thrilling victory.

The second game began with similar chaos. BFX's 'Raptor' performed well on Pantheon, racking up kills, but T1's 'Phase' dominated on Mel, securing 8 kills by the 13-minute mark. For BFX, while the massive growth of 'Phase's' Mel was a burden, the fact that 'Taeyoon's' Caitlyn had already recorded 5 deaths was even more painful.

With a clear advantage in the bot lane, T1 comfortably secured two Dragon stacks and the Rift Herald. After taking down Pantheon with Mel's power, T1 used Sion's ultimate and crowd control to win a clean teamfight at the next Dragon spawn, reaching three stacks.

BFX tried their best to fight back, but their efforts were futile as long as they couldn't shut down Mel. T1 secured Baron, won the mid teamfight, and claimed the Dragon Soul. In the final engagement, Mel recorded a quadra kill, pushing the gold lead to 10k and leading T1 to an easy victory.

Meanwhile, with today's loss, BNK FEARX has been eliminated from contention for the Road to MSI.
