Game 1: Gen.G's Calculated Victory
The first game saw early aggression from both sides. Canyon's Skarner secured an early gank, but Nongshim quickly retaliated. Despite early missteps, Gen.G maintained composure, strategically controlling the bottom lane and neutralizing Nongshim's aggression. The pivotal moment came before Baron, where Gen.G won a crucial teamfight, securing Baron Nashor and taking control of the game. With a 3-1 dragon stack advantage, Gen.G capitalized on the Baron power play, pushing top and ultimately shattering Nongshim's Nexus.
Game 2: Macro Mastery by Gen.G
In Game 2, Gen.G demonstrated superior macro play. An early pick on GIDEON's Poppy allowed them to gain lane advantages across the board. Even with fewer kills, Gen.G's strategic map control resulted in a significant gold lead, reaching 4,000 by 14 minutes. While Nongshim managed a brief comeback, Gen.G's crowd control chain at the 25-minute dragon proved decisive. Despite Nongshim's efforts, Gen.G closed out the game and the series, showcasing their overall dominance.
