Although DK has been struggling in the LCK recently, they were able to get an amazing team fight that ultimately snowballed the first game of the series in their favor as they took down HLE. In the second game HLE took the reins and equalized the series 1-1 as DK struggled to keep up with the aggression and engage of the First Stand victors.
An incredible final game showcased just how strong DK can be as Aiming and Siwoo led the charge to the 2-1 victory in this match.
