LGD's frontline won Game 1 for them. JDG started on the front foot, with GALA's Kai'Sa trading for first blood and the junglers swapping kills, but a teleport flank turned a skirmish into four, then five LGD kills and a 3,000 gold swing. The Herald fight went the same way: xiaofang's Naafiri dropped instantly, LGD took two kills and the Herald, and the lead kept growing. JDG tried to play through GALA, but Xiaoxu's Rumble was caught in seconds while Burdol's Ornn soaked absurd damage before GALA finally finished him. LGD answered by taking dragon for soul point around 18 minutes. Then in a top side fight Xiaoxu flashed away and still got clipped by Call of the Forge God, and the top tower fell. A failed JDG steal handed LGD Baron and a 6,000 gold lead at 21 minutes. Xiaoxu's last flank met Heng's Lee Sin cutting him off, Ornn's ultimate deleted GALA, and the nexus fell soon after. Tangyuan's Syndra went 7/1/7 and Crisp's Karma piled up 20 assists.

Game 2 opened with Heng's Poppy diving GALA's Yunara, burning his flash and taking first blood at level six. JDG traded back hard, with Crisp and Vampire both falling in the dive. Then xiaofang's Vi and Xiaoxu's K'Sante caught Burdol and secured the first top tower. LGD responded immediately with a second dragon for Shaoye's Lucian, then used Herald to tear down two top turrets in a row. A dragon fight that started with xiaofang going down gave LGD soul point. Tangyuan's Orianna then landed Shockwave and erased Angel's Viktor, and LGD tore through towers in the 4v5 before taking Baron. Burdol's Varus ultimate locked down JDG's lineup in the final fight for an ace, and LGD ended it about 7,000 gold ahead. Tangyuan finished the game 6/0/7.
