EG, who placed fifth in the round-robin stage of Spring, defeated a higher-seeded CLG in the series with ease, triumphing through both commanding stomps and fierce comebacks over the course of the match. The third game of the series was by far the most dramatic and suspenseful of the match, with the majority of observers believing that CLG would continue to play and attempt to extend the match past a three-game sweep. In the first 30 minutes of the last game of the series, CLG completely dominated Summoner's Rift and was just one win away from winning the match.
Victor "FBI" Huang, the EG AD carry, would not be stopped. His late-game Aphelios came online, and the squad was able to defeat the champion in three straight team fights. Joseph "Jojopyun" Pyun, a mid laner, added to the series decisive triumph with an infinitely-scaling Veigar pick that enabled EG to continue to prosper throughout the whole 41-minute match.
