The second matchup of Day 1 in China's League of Legends Pro League saw Invictus Gaming and OMG do battle. While both teams struggled at times, iG was able to take down OMG in convincing fashion thanks to big individual performances.
While Song "Rookie" Eui-jin's LeBlanc did massive damage to OMG, Ge "Kid" Yan's Rengar was instrumental to iG's Game 1 win, setting Rookie up with first blood early in the game to begin the snowball. Taking a massive 4-for-2 teamfight in bottom lane near the 10-minute mark, iG had fully seized control of the game, with OMG unable to apply meaningful pressure for the rest of the contest. While iG played slowly, they were never at risk of losing momentum, methodically taking objectives and forcing OMG further into a gold deficit. On the back of Kid's 6/0/9 KDA (kills/deaths/assists), iG took Game 1 in just over 38 minutes.
Game 2 would begin with a rarity, as Lee "Duke" Ho-Seong picked up a first blood solo kill on Maokai against Hu "Xiyang" Bin's Nautilus. Duke would capitalize on his lead in a big way at around 10 minutes into the match, teleporting into a bottom lane skirmish to give iG a 4-for-2 teamfight win. Snowballing out of control, iG were free to do whatever they wanted courtesy of the presence Duke had in the frontline. Even when Duke flashed into three OMG players in their jungle, iG were able to win the ensuing teamfight with a clean ace, setting iG far ahead of OMG in gold. Barely missing out on a flawless game, Duke finished Game 2 with a 2/1/13 KDA, carrying iG to a 33 minute win and a 2-0 sweep for the series.
