Early Game

The draft phase saw the tactical advantages of UCAM Esports materialize almost instantly. Following the pre-draft strategy to avoid high-impact threats, the favorites secured a composition built for relentless pressure. The early game was a masterclass in lane dominance and jungle pathing. bluerzor utilized his Xin Zhao to invade and disrupt, ensuring that UB Alma Mater's jungler, Ivama, could never find any footing on Aatrox. By the time the first major objectives were contested, the gold gap was already widening, as the UCAM bot lane, led by ANDARIEL on Kalista, began punishing every mistake with surgical precision.

The Turning Point

The momentum shifted irrevocably during the mid-game skirmishes around the dragon pit. While UB Alma Mater attempted to stabilize with Pauporter's Ryze trying to find impactful rotations, they simply could not match the burst and engage of the opposition. The turning point arrived when iLevi's Leona initiated a perfect engage, catching the enemy support, Kellie, out of position. This play triggered a cascade of gold and kills, as UCAM Esports secured their third dragon and began a systematic siege of the base.

The map was essentially under total occupation. Kozi's Jayce and ANDARIEL's Kalista moved through the lanes like an unstoppable force, cleaning up the remaining resistance. With a final push that saw UCAM Esports securing a baron to seal the deal, the game ended at 23:48. The 53.7k gold total for the winners stood in stark contrast to the meager 39.4k held by the defeated, marking a definitive end to the contest.
