Second Map
Third Map
After the second map, Ninjas in Pyjamas felt confident in their abilities and realized that they could win this series. This time, the team's newcomer and regional legend Doinb showcased his Ryze and completely outplayed the opponent in the mid lane, and subsequently the entire IG team. Notably, Leave picked Kai’Sa, a champion rarely chosen now due to being off-meta, but he managed to make it work.

Despite an even bot lane, Leave managed to gain momentum on Ezreal in the mid-game, finishing the map with a score of 9/1/7. It was a decent attempt by IG to make a comeback, but NiP simply didn't make any mistakes.
