Winner: KT
Despite KT winning out the first game of the series, NS put up quite the fight in the second one as both teams were constantly dancing on the knife's edge but NS came out on top and took the series to silver scrapes.
The third game, however, was a statement from KT as their return to form is not temporary, given the absolute dominance in terms of macro and team fighting, ultimately winning the match 2-1 against NS.
