Winner: NS
BRO dominated NS in the first game as all hope seemed loss, but NS were able to strike back in the second game though great team fighting and macro. Swapping out vital for Jiwoo also seemed crucial for the success of NS as the third game seemed very evenly-matched.
An incredibly nail-biting last team fight, NS took down BRO and secured their 2-1 victory in this match after a hard-fought series.
