G2’s Strong Start
At the start of the game, G2’s support player, Targamas, was able to find a pick on Fnatic’s jungler, Razork, near the dragon pit. However, Fnatic quickly responded with a kill on G2’s Jankos, evening out the game.
Fnatic’s Siege and G2’s Counterplay
During a Fnatic siege on the top lane inner turret, G2 managed to find picks on Wunder and Humanoid, while attempting to secure an early Baron. Despite this, Fnatic held off G2’s objective play.
With the Baron still up, both teams fought for vision control around the Baron pit. In the mid lane stalemate, G2 saved their top laner from Fnatic’s attempt at a pick and eliminated Fnatic’s support, winning the team fight and securing Baron. This gave G2 a significant advantage for the first time in the game.
G2’s Domination and Fnatic’s Struggle
After securing Baron, G2 took control of the map, forcing Fnatic to spend their time clearing lanes. Fnatic managed to secure the Baron, but G2 won the subsequent fight, wiping out the entire Fnatic team. This led to G2’s victory after a 37-minute battle against their long-time rivals.
The Impact of One Key Fight
