General Draft (Ban/Pick) Assessment
LNG drafted a balanced and easy-to-execute composition. They picked champions with strong engage and great teamfight power. Moreover, their lineup could snowball quickly when ahead. Because of this, LNG controlled the game with calm and discipline. They did not rely on one carry. Instead, they played around team coordination.
On the other hand, OMG chose a reactive and risky draft. Their comp needed perfect conditions to win fights. In addition, it depended too much on individual mechanics. However, once LNG controlled vision and objectives, OMG had no space to play. Therefore, they struggled to find good angles to turn fights around.
Detailed Match Progress
Game 1: LNG Esports Dominate From Start to Finish
The series opened at a very fast pace, with LNG entering the game full of intent. In the early skirmishes, LNG’s well-timed ganks earned them first kills and control over river vision. OMG tried to hold on, but repeatedly lost key objectives such as Dragons and turrets, allowing LNG to build a significant gold lead.
In the mid game, LNG’s champions like Croco (Xin Zhao), 1xn (Corki), and BuLLDoG (Azir) applied massive pressure. Their coordinated teamfighting enabled them to win nearly every major engagement.
Although OMG attempted picks and contesting fights, LNG neutralized their efforts with superior positioning and steady farming, which kept widening the gold gap.
LNG closed out Game 1 after more than 35 minutes, breaking OMG’s Nexus with overwhelming advantages in gold and map control.
Game 2: LNG Accelerate and Finish Cleanly
In Game 2, LNG maintained their destructive form. They won the early exchanges and took control of the river and dragon area, leaving OMG behind in gold from the very start.
By mid game, LNG used their vision control and excellent coordination to continue winning fights, forcing OMG into a desperate chase mode — never easy in a Bo3 under heavy pressure.
OMG defended bravely but failed to create any effective pick opportunities, and the gap only kept growing.
LNG ended the game in around 23 minutes, delivering an almost perfect performance with total control over objectives and a massive gold advantage.
Match Highlights
- From the opening moments, LNG showed clear superiority in both macro play and teamfighting.
- LNG secured nearly every major objective: Dragons, Rift Heralds, and Baron, keeping OMG constantly on the back foot.
- In crucial teamfights, LNG focused targets perfectly, maintained tight formations, and gave OMG no chance to turn the game around.
- In both games, OMG fell behind early and never found a quality pick to get back into the match.
Final Summary
This was a clear and convincing 2–0 victory for LNG Esports, who dominated the series from draft to the final decisive plays on the map. LNG proved why they are highly rated: from solid laning and objective control to precise teamfighting, everything was executed smoothly and efficiently. OMG struggled from the start in both games, and once behind, they were unable to recover — the main reason for their defeat against LNG.
