A fantastic start to the game on the side of BDS as the massive fight around the Infernal Drake kick-started Ice's Jinx and Irrelevant's Ambessa. Despite BDS getting a massive lead, FNC was able to hold the line with Upset's Jhin making quite the impact in crucial team fights. After a grueling 40 minutes, FNC was able to stabilize and even establish a significant lead over BDS as neither Ambessa or Xin Zhao could go onto the enemy carries. After a final siege onto BDS' base, FNC was able to claw their way back into the game, winning the series 2-1.
