Draft & Pick Analysis
Firstly, both teams approached the draft phase with different strategies.
On one hand, Gen.G focused on banning BFX’s early-game playmakers — champions that can snowball quickly and force fast engagements. As a result, BFX’s ability to play aggressively in the early stages was limited.
On the other hand, BFX targeted Gen.G’s control and carry champion pool, especially in the mid and jungle roles. Nevertheless, they failed to fully block Canyon’s and Chovy’s strongest comfort picks.
Moreover, Gen.G prioritized a teamfight-oriented composition built around major objectives. Their lineup featured a strong frontline and a consistent damage-dealing ADC.
In contrast, BFX opted for an early-game focused composition. Therefore, they aimed to gain lane advantages and snowball through small skirmishes. However, BFX’s draft lacked reliable tools to close out games. Consequently, once the match went into the mid and late game, they gradually lost control.
Match Breakdown
Game 1: BFX Start Strong, Gen.G Turn It Around Late
BFX came out confidently. They controlled the laning phase well and applied pressure across the map. Many early skirmishes went in BFX’s favor, giving them a lead in kills and tempo.
However, from the mid game onward, Gen.G began to regain map control. Canyon set up clean dragon and Baron plays, while Chovy and Ruler positioned flawlessly in teamfights.
The turning point came at a crucial Baron fight. Gen.G won the engagement, wiped BFX, and pushed straight into the base to end Game 1.
Gen.G won thanks to superior macro and late-game teamfighting.

In Game 2, Gen.G gave BFX no chance to repeat the same script. They fully controlled the jungle and major objectives from the very beginning.
