The second game was a tense, back-and-forth affair for the first 20 minutes, with neither team able to build a decisive lead. The deadlock broke around the 22-minute mark at the third Dragon fight .
kt Rolster secured an early pick on Duro's Nautilus and, with a numbers advantage, began to take the objective. Down a man, Gen.G's remaining squad contested, executing a perfectly timed steal on the Dragon and then annihilating kt in the ensuing teamfight. The play instantly flipped the game, allowing Gen.G to snowball into a crushing 10,000-gold lead that proved insurmountable .
Gen.G drew first blood at the 15-minute mark, signaling a more proactive posture. A key inflection point arrived when kt attempted to secure their third Dragon. Gen.G, initially low on health, regrouped for a sudden ambush at the pit. Canyon's Naafiri stole the objective, and the team followed up by eliminating Bdd's Viktor, then immediately hunting down kt's bottom duo in the mid-lane brush to tighten their grip on the match .
kt staged a brief resurgence by catching Canyon's fed Naafiri in the top lane and winning the subsequent fight, but the swing was temporary. In the following Dragon skirmish, Gen.G used a fluid "ping-pong" re-engagement tactic to decisively win the teamfight. When an attempt to pick off Chovy's Lissandra backfired, Gen.G converted it into another winning skirmish, extending their gold lead beyond 8,000 .
In the closing moments, Gen.G made a strategic concession. They allowed kt to take the Elder Dragon and instead opted to push and destroy the mid and bottom inhibitors while the buff was active. The moment Elder expired, Gen.G cleaned up four kt members, starting with Viktor, to seal the series sweep .
Chovy was the undisputed engine of the series. His calm, playmaking Lissandra in Game 3 landed the crucial engages that dismantled kt's formations, and his Mel in Game 1 provided the backdoor firepower that made the 7k comeback possible . Canyon was equally instrumental, with his Wukong in Game 2 and Naafiri in Game 3 being central to the objective steals that broke the series open at key moments
