T1 successfully weathered Team Liquid's attacks, with 'Doran's' Jayce delivering clutch performances at key moments to secure a comeback victory.

In Game 2, T1 got off to a strong start by taking down 'Quid's' Sylas in the mid lane and gaining a significant advantage in the bottom lane. However, Team Liquid fought back effectively against T1 while they were taking the Dragon, picking up several kills on T1's bottom duo. T1, still holding the initiative in the bottom lane, committed Lissandra to the area to apply pressure, but Team Liquid responded well, resulting in a trade of kills.

As the game quickly devolved into a chaotic skirmish, Team Liquid's 'Yeon' picked up multiple kills on Varus, shifting the momentum slightly in their favor. While T1's 'Phase' managed to briefly halt their momentum by catching out the Varus with Lucian, Team Liquid dominated the subsequent Dragon fight, securing their third Dragon stack and immediately moving to Baron.

With only 'Doran's' Jayce and 'Keria's' Milio remaining, T1 was unable to contest the Baron, which Team Liquid secured. T1 faced a crisis as they were pushed back in the mid lane, but they pulled off a dramatic turnaround when 'Faker's' Lissandra survived and Jayce took down Varus to claim a shutdown kill.

The next Dragon timing naturally became critical. Although T1 lost the teamfight, 'Oner's' Lee Sin managed to steal the Dragon, preventing the worst-case scenario. Despite the difficult situation, T1 maintained their focus, with Jayce and Lucian teaming up to take down 'Morgan's' Rumble before securing the Baron for themselves.

Past the 37-minute mark, both teams were tied at three Dragons each, with little difference in gold. In the decisive seventh Dragon fight, T1 cleanly overwhelmed Team Liquid, winning the 40-minute marathon to reach match point with a 2-0 lead.
