Game 137:33
Team Liquid won
Team Liquid took the opening game, but the map required sustained work. The win came from blue side in 37:33. The game produced 36 kills, and the 22-14 split made combat far more competitive than the final map control suggests. The final economy stood at 78.2k to 69.1k, with 9.2k separating the teams. Team Liquid converted its pressure into 8 towers to 1, the game's only Baron, and 2 Void Grubs to 1. The teams split dragon control 3-3. The fighting stayed active, but Team Liquid consistently turned the larger exchanges into more valuable map gains.
Yeon (Sean Sung) led the damage chart, playing Kai'Sa for Team Liquid and finishing 5/1/9 with 39,145 damage, 421 CS, 20,873 gold, and 59 vision score. Thanatos (Park Seung-kyu) was the other major damage source, playing Rumble for Cloud9 and finishing 7/3/3 with 36,160 damage, 324 CS, 15,969 gold, and 52 vision score. Yeon (Sean Sung) finished 2,985 damage ahead of Thanatos (Park Seung-kyu).

Game 229:26
Team Liquid won
Game 2 had a different texture from the opener. The win came from blue side in 29:26. The kill count finished 16-6, a gap that matched the control visible elsewhere on the map. The final economy stood at 64.2k to 51.2k, with 13.0k separating the teams. Team Liquid converted its pressure into 9 towers to 1, the game's only Baron, and 2 Void Grubs to 1. Dragon control also finished 3-1 in Team Liquid's favor. Control showed up in every major category. The kill, gold, and structure gaps all held through the finish.
Yeon (Sean Sung) led the damage chart, playing Corki for Team Liquid and finishing 8/0/4 with 22,521 damage, 289 CS, 16,517 gold, and 33 vision score. Josedeodo was the other major damage source, playing Naafiri for Team Liquid and finishing 3/1/9 with 18,033 damage, 232 CS, 13,088 gold, and 47 vision score.

Series read
Team Liquid found two different routes to the same outcome. The series was not the same game repeated: one map broke open decisively, while the other demanded more fighting before the structures fell. The games lasted 37:33 and 29:26. Across the completed maps, Team Liquid accumulated 38 kills and Cloud9 finished with 20. Across those maps, Team Liquid recorded 17 towers, 6 dragons, 2 Rift Heralds, 2 Barons, and 4 Void Grubs, while Cloud9 recorded 2 towers, 4 dragons, 0 Rift Heralds, 0 Barons, and 2 Void Grubs.
