LNG Gaming vs KT Rolster: A Battle of Titans
The Stakes and Initial Rounds
With both teams holding a promising 2-1 record, the winner was destined for the next round, leaving the other to grapple for one more chance. The first map saw KT Rolster drawing the first blood, leveraging their Jayce in mid. But “GALA’s” Aphelios for LNG was not to be overshadowed. A decisive skirmish at the Baron pit swung the momentum, leading to LNG clinching the first map.
Roles Reversed
The following game was a mirror reflection, with LNG taking early initiative. Yet, KT’s strategic selection of Sejuani for the jungle halted LNG’s advances. A pivotal Baron encounter swung the balance, propelling KT Rolster to even the score.
