Winner: WE
An incredibly entertaining series, marked with a lot of upsets but a whole lot of Monki business as the jungler for WE was phenomenal. LGD desperately tried to contain the nonstop onslaught of WE, as Taeyoon and Vampire also had some great play whilst the LGD bot lane struggled to make any meaningful impact.
In the end, WE secured a convincing 3-1 victory in this match with Monki being at the forefront of their success.
