Dreamz was able to put Julz on Shadow Fiend and the game was looking to be in their hands, but effective roams by Earthshaker and Jakiro in the early game gave iZONE control despite the passive start that they had. The score was 5/7 in iZONE's favor at 17 minutes with a Blink Dagger and Phase Boots on Tiny.

iZONE made the right pickoffs in the mid game with Dreamz fighting to hold them off. Lifestealer was slowly spiralling out of control with almost a full item build by 30 minutes. It boiled down to a Julz Shadow Fiend and Jhoven Lifestealer standoff with a smart Blink Dagger purchased by Jhoven giving him the edge in team fights.

Taking Aegis for the third time at 40 minutes, iZONE successfully took out mid barracks and bottom barracks. With Dreamz unable to kill off Lifestealer, they called the GG shortly after top barracks subsequently fell.
