Winner: GEN
Another fantastic game from GEN as they're continuing to prove why they are the best team in the LCK, despite KT's attempts to take them down in the first game. KT came back with a vengeance as their 6 consecutive wins gave them the push to equalize the series against and go 1-1.
In the third game, KT came out on top in the early game, punishing GEN's bad positioning and macro. KT continued their kill advantage as GEN managed to secure Dragons in exchange and KT seemed on track to once again ruin GEN's win streak.
Finally, GEN got a fantastic fight around Baron and managed to take down KT by remaining undefeated in this 2-1 match.
