Game 1: DWG Takes Early Lead
G2 tried a surprise tactic by flexing Lucian into the bottom lane but it didn’t pay off. DWG’s Kim “Canyon” Geon-bu took control of the game from the jungle, snowballing his teammates and securing an easy victory in the first game.
Game 2: G2’s Choice Backfires
After the loss in the first game, G2 chose the red side for the second match, which turned out to be a mistake. DWG had a 25-game winstreak on the blue side and were considered favorites to win. But G2 played exceptionally well, taking an early lead and ending DWG’s winstreak.
Game 3 and 4: DWG’s Counter Picks
In the next two games, DWG adjusted their draft picks, baiting G2 into certain champions and countering them with surprise picks. This strategy worked wonders for DWG, securing them another win and putting them at match point.
