Attacking TLN: Neon, Skye, Shadow, Night Dew, Viper

In the first half, LEV scored four points in a row at the beginning, aspas got the first kill in two consecutive rounds at the beginning, and got another four kills in the third round. LEV was unstoppable at the beginning. In the fifth round of TLN, Primmie Yelu's ultimate skill entered the A point to run the map, and the whole team moved from A to B together. TLN scored two points in the fifth and sixth rounds, all thanks to the performance of Governor. In the seventh round, TLN was blocked from attacking A and was beaten back by LEV. TLN called the first timeout.



TLN's timeout adjustment had some effect. TLN chose to play slowly and constantly cheated skills to switch points, allowing TLN to get three points and narrow the gap in the first half to 2 points. At the end of the first half, LEV 7-5 TLN.



In the second half, TLN was very disciplined on defense. Their 4B1A defense allowed them to win the pistol round. In the 16th round, Governor Mingju played well again and scored another point. LEV only won the bonus point in the 15th round. KiNgg got a pentakill in the bunker defense phase, helping the team get the first point of the second half. After losing the 16th round, LEV used the first timeout.



LEV used two timeouts in the second half and scored three points in total. TLN put a lot of pressure on LEV on the defensive end. The two sides were tied at 11 in the 22nd round, and TLN also used the second timeout. In the 23rd round, LEV quickly attacked B and successfully got the match point. In the 24th round, LEV continued to play fast break and set up defense at point A. TLN's five players returned from home to defend but were perfectly wiped out by LEV. LEV won the first map 13-11.

Defending LEV: Jetwind, Grimlock, Hunter, Zero, Shadow

Attacking TLN: Hunter, Phoenix, K/O, Sage, Dusk Butterfly

In the first half, LEV won the pistol round, and TLN scored continuously from the bonus point. TLN relied on this resurrection lineup, and they directly tore LEV's defense on the offensive end. However, the limitation of this lineup lies in the Dusk Butterfly. If a single smoke is killed first, it will be very difficult for them to attack. In the 6th round, JitboyS Dusk Butterfly was killed by aspas. TLN had no smoke, which made it very difficult for them to defend the bunker. TLN had to call a timeout after the end of this round.



The two teams played very closely, and after the timeout, the score between the two sides was very close. At the beginning of the 9th round, TLN's offensive rhythm began to slow down. They kept trying to attack B, but were caught by C0M many times. LEV took the lead in the first half and scored 8 points.



In the second half, it was LEV's turn to attack, but TLN figured out LEV's offensive rhythm in just one round. TLN scored 3 points in a row, making LEV feel the pressure and use the first timeout.

LEV had a hard time in the offensive and defensive phases. They chose a slow pace in the 18th round. Tex got the first kill at B point, and Mazino also got a kill at A point. This wave of LEV's double sentinel position worked. TLN also used a pause after the 18th round, but it didn't work. LEV was still strong in the offensive, and TLN's return defense couldn't solve the return defense count. In the 21st round, LEV's rushA won, and finally LEV 13-8 TLN, LEV won the second map.
