Match 1 saw team PnX getting an early lead and drawing first blood against their opponents. However, team nA made a convincing comeback towards the mid game and also secured the Baron. With their current lead against team PnX, team nA pushed into their base destroying the enemy nexus, securing map 1 in their favour.
The 2nd match of the series on the other hand took a complete turn compared to match 1. In the very early game team nA had the advantage and first blood, but team PnX quickly retaliated. The match saw a slight back and forth between both teams before team PnX managed to take the lead. Making use of their advantage over their enemy, they kept that moment going and were able to win match number 2, taking the event to the final match.
Match 3 was the most intense out of the Bo3, with major back and forths between the teams. Team nA took a significant early lead in terms of gold and kills, but team PnX’s counter attack when team nA tried to gank them, got team PnX the lead. However, nA managed to get their lead back again, even destroying PnX’s top and mid lane inhibitors & inhibitor turrets. But when nA went for the Baron, team PnX launched their attack, defeating their opponents and taking back the advantage. With that they were able to get to nA’s base and won the final match and the event, 2 – 1.
