Winner: DK

A very iconic matchup as DK has struggled to get a series off of GEN for quite some time, so we might see some major upsets this time around. A chaotic fight at the second set of Voidgrubs secured DK some nice kills with GEN getting 5 grubs. Afterwards, DK further cemented and snowballed their lead as GEN was unable to apply pressure on the side lanes, and after a disastrous fight at Atakhan, DK was able to push their advantage and kick off the series 1-0.

An incredible fight around drake gave GEN just enough time to end the game and go 1-1 in this series.

Winner: GEN

A very fun but odd jungle pick for Canyon, as Zed rarely sees any play nowadays. After a brutal fight around the drake, GEN was able to land some crucial picks, giving them a slight advantage over DK which allowed for Kiin's Camille to push side lanes. GEN was able to decimate DK at Atakhan, with any chances of a comeback seemed impossible. Finally, GEN was able to take the series 2-1 after what seemed like a near-win from DK.
