The first big match of the tournament is behind as, and now we zoom in for some post game analysis of the clash.
Match was best of three, both teams took a lot of time carefully choosing their line-ups to outcome victorious. First replay is available on GGTV, as it was a 7 minutes save and reload.

First game started pretty well for zEn|th, they had some advantage, but SK did a nice comeback in the middle game. ToFuBoi was farming really fast and keeping the gold with some of best blink dodging ever done, as well as casting avatar last moment before he would die to Drayichs' Laguna Blade. Loda played a really aggressive Sladar, often dying, but giving field for Tompa to farm his items, who eventually carried SK despite a really farmed ToFuBoi.
| Game 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| zEn|th (zEn|th) | > | SK.Gaming (SK) | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| hyhy (top) | Akke (top) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Ant (mid) | Drayich(mid) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
 MaG3 (mid) |  Loda (mid) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
 zx (bot) |  KwoM (bot) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| ToFuBoi (bot) |  Tompa (bot) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Yet again zEn|th succeeded in early game, showing that laning and early ganks phase is what they like best. Very strong line-up of SK proved successful in mid game, with their stuns and burst fire and ultimates, but when the game was thought to be decided, PotM and Queen of Pain started to get powerful items, QoP was tanking with Guinsoo's, Heart and Hood, and eventually they managed to change the tides of the game and win it after some hard struggling.
| Game 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| zEn|th (zEn|th) | < | SK.Gaming (SK) | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| zx (top) | Bogdan (top) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| MaG3 (top) | Akke (mid) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| hyhy (mid) | Loda (mid) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
 Ant (bot) | Drayich (bot) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| ToFuBoi (bot) | Tompa (bot) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
The third game was tied since very beginning, Syllabear was trying to get his Radiance as fast as possible, getting it similarly to the moment when Chaos got his Reaver, but this time the combination of Sladar's Armor reduction along with Priestess and her high physical damage output could not be countered by zEn|th, and SK taking the team fights and skirmishes secured themselves a spot in the final.
