Recap
Game 1 witnessed an unorthodox draft for OB.Neon not paying dividends as they got run over by Fnatic’s tanky core trio.

With an unfavorable 25-11 scoreline, OB.Neon lost the first game in 27 minutes.
Game 2 saw another unconventional safe lane pick for OB.Neon as they went for Natsumi- Magnus for the second time in a row. On the other hand, Fnatic responded with a last pick Arc Warden for Raven which seemed to have disrupted their enemy’s plans.
