Early Game

Against all odds, the pre-match prediction that KT Rolster would utilize their dive-heavy composition to overwhelm the enemy was completely defied. While the draft featured the high-impact Vi and Ahri combo intended to punish BNK F2EARX's lack of frontline, the game was decided long before the mid-game skirmishes could begin. The primary issue was the lane dominance exerted by the BNK FEARX bot lane. Taeyoon played his Caitlyn with surgical precision, ballooning his gold lead to +1516 by minute fifteen, which effectively neutralized the scaling potential of KT's Yunara.

The Turning Point

The momentum shifted irrevocably during the mid-game when the BNK FEARX jungle presence began to stifle KT's rotations. Raptor, piloting a powerful Wukong, managed to secure a 4/2/5 performance that disrupted the rhythm of the KT jungle. As Cuzz struggled to find any openings on his Vi, the BNK FEARX side began to systematically dismantle the map. The strength of the Renekton pick, which had been a surprise during the draft, allowed Clear to maintain a steady +302 gold advantage, providing the necessary frontline to support the scaling of the rest of the squad.

Closing Out

As the game approached the twenty-five-minute mark, the disparity in resources became impossible to ignore. BNK FEARX had amassed a total of 52.5k gold compared to KT's 45.2k, and the kill score of 15 to 8 reflected a complete breakdown in KT's defensive structure. The control of the map was absolute; the BNK FEARX side secured 3 dragons and 4 towers, while KT Rolster's composition simply evaporated under the pressure. The final blow came as the BNK FEARX side utilized their superior gold and objective control to prevent any late-game miracle, ending the match with a clean sweep of the series.
