The match started off with Xcurrate showing his ability to hold his own against multiple players, getting an ace in the 3rd round, but that was pretty much it for T1. Although Izu and Carpe did step up from their former selves, Sayaplayer and Rossy seemed to have left their AIM back home, with neither being able to win any aim duels against G2. G2 with better utility usage and synergistic timing left T1 with no answers, making the likes of Sayaplayer look clueless in their role. With no significant contribution from Rossy, it was easy for G2 to cruise through Map 1 of the series. Every player from G2 held their own and played to roles efficiently, with Leaf standing out with through his ace and superior movement that T1 had no answer to.
Going into Map 2 if the likes of Rossy and Sayaplayer do not step up with the strategic backing from T1's coaches, this will be a walk in the park of G2.
