Game 2 was much more competitive, though, as both the teams were adamant to prove their worth. Depending on the shoulders of Ruler’s Tristana, Gen.G seemed to have made a comeback, form-wise, but that hope was soon diminished by DWG KIA. They came back in the game through Ghost’s Xayah, who was scaling even better than the rampant Tristana. Finally, Gen.G failed to protect the AD carry and lost the second game in a row in the finals. The pressure was certainly on them.
