JDG has been in top form throughout the season and was a fan-favorite in the series.

Game 3

BLG finally found a respite in the third game and this time, the team performed splendidly. BLG’s jungle XUN impressed the most in his Vi pick and he was also supported by Bin’s Gwen and Elk’s Xayah. Overall it was a good team effort that helped BLG register its first victory in the series.

Game 4

Despite dropping a game, JDG still had momentum which showed in this game. With Kanavi, Knight, and Ruler on their comfort champion picks, JDG looked unstoppable. Although BLG tried to mount up a defense, it was all for naught as JDG destroyed the enemy nexus to register a 3-1 series win.
