Game 1: T1’s Mid Game Reversal Seals Early Lead
KT gained momentum early with river First Blood, the first Dragon, and three Voidgrubs, establishing a steady gold lead through successful ganks and skirmishes. However, around the third Dragon at the 15–20 minute mark, T1 flipped the match with a well-executed team fight.
Keria’s Poppy initiations created opportunities for Faker’s Taliyah to dominate, taking control of Baron and another Drake. A second Baron secured their path into KT’s base, concluding the opener with T1’s decisive comeback.
