At the start of the match, Shenzhen DYG launched a swift attack. At 2 minutes and 20 seconds, four DYG players focused their fire on KSG's Miyamoto Musashi, securing the first blood of the game. Despite falling behind early, KSG quickly stabilized their formation. In the 3rd minute, KSG player Yisheng (Li Ziwei) initiated a control attack with Da Yu, coordinating with teammate Liulang (Zhang Heng) using Shiranui Mai to kill Sun Shangxiang, stopping the bleeding in time and creating a counterattack opportunity for the team.

The early game was fast-paced. In the 4th minute, Shenzhen DYG successfully secured the first mini-tyrant; at 5 minutes and 30 seconds, KSG focused fire and killed Taiyi Zhenren. At 6 minutes and 20 seconds, DYG's Zhen Ji successfully controlled and killed Bai Qi, but then Liulang (Zhang Heng) controlled Shiranui Mai and used Flash to solo kill Nezha, laying the foundation for KSG to stabilize the situation. As both sides engaged in several small-scale team fights, the game gradually entered the crucial mid-game phase.

In the mid-game, KSG demonstrated excellent teamwork. At 7 minutes and 30 seconds, KSG focused fire to kill Sun Shangxiang, and after the opponent attempted to kill Goya, they achieved a 3-for-1 exchange and successfully pushed down the mid-lane tower. At 9 minutes, Yisheng, controlling Dayu, unleashed his ultimate skill, coordinating with Juhao (He Weijia) to control Miyamoto Musashi and once again instantly kill Sun Shangxiang, achieving another 3-for-1 team fight advantage and gradually taking control of the game's tempo.

The match entered its decisive stage. At 10 minutes and 20 seconds, KSG successfully controlled the Shadow Tyrant, and Juhao (Miyamoto Musashi) precisely targeted and killed Sun Shangxiang, resulting in a four-for-one exchange for the opponents, and the bottom lane high ground was destroyed. At 11 minutes and 50 seconds, KSG controlled the Shadow Lord and smoothly pushed down the mid and top lane high ground. At 13 minutes and 20 seconds, in a team fight at the crystal, both junglers exchanged kills, but at 15 minutes, KSG player Wuyan (Bai Qi) made a crucial play, instantly killing Sun Shangxiang, and then successfully destroyed the crystal, securing the victory.

Throughout the match, KSG demonstrated exceptional teamwork and tempo control. Wuyan's Bai Qi repeatedly initiated and controlled crucial team fights, significantly altering the course of the game and allowing the team to maintain their momentum and ultimately secure victory despite falling behind. This win not only helped KSG's King of Glory division advance to the next round but also extended Wuyan's legendary "three wins in three games" streak, adding further excitement to the playoffs.
