The Deciding Factor

Unforgiven on Kaisa and Doss on Nautilus cleaned up fights around the soul drakes while VfB eSports's Jakobobbi on Braum struggled to shield Tazaku's Lucian from the growing threat.

What Made the Difference

Objective control separated the sides. Kaufland Hangry Knights finished with 4 dragons and 3 barons against zero barons for VfB eSports, translating into an 11-4 tower count.
