During the third segment of the LPL, TES and JDG battled in a best-of-three. After two fierce games, JDG ended up losing to TES with a score of 0-2, marking their second defeat, while TES enjoyed their fourth consecutive victory.
In the first game, TES had Ornn in the top lane, Trundle as the jungler, Azir in the mid lane, and Sivir with Alistar in the bot lane; JDG had Rumble in the top lane, Maokai as the jungler, Yone in the mid lane, and Zeri with Rakan in the bot lane. During the laning phase, TES maintained a good rhythm, with Kanavi's Trundle successfully ganking both top and mid lanes. Later, they executed a dive on the bot lane, eliminating two of JDG's support champions. Early on, TES took down the first blood tower in the bot lane, leading by 3K gold.
In the mid-game, after Kanavi's Trundle severely damaged xun's Maokai in the jungle, TES secured the Rift Herald. At the 24-minute mark, both teams contested the dragon; xun's Maokai managed to secure it, halting TES's progress towards the Mountain Dragon soul. However, during the team fight, Scout's Yone made a mistake, but several members of TES survived with low health. JDG's counterattack lacked sufficient damage, leading to TES achieving a 0-for-5 team wipe against JDG, followed by claiming the first Baron. Ultimately, at the 28-minute mark, JDG initiated a fight at their high ground; despite dealing significant damage, TES's players survived with low health. After another counterattack, TES wiped out JDG again, securing the victory in the first game. The highest damage in the first game was dealt by creme's Azir.
In the second game, JDG had K'Sante in the top lane, Jarvan IV as the jungler, Taliyah in the mid lane, and Aphelios paired with Tahm Kench in the bot lane; TES featured Gnar in the top lane, Xin Zhao as the jungler, Viktor in the mid lane, and Kai'Sa with Rell in the bot lane. During the laning phase, xun's Jarvan IV gained significant momentum, actively engaging with the mid and support to create plays. However, TES managed to take down the first blood tower in the mid lane, with both teams remaining relatively even in gold early on.
In the mid-game, a skirmish broke out in the jungle; JDG initiated on 369's Gnar, but after Gnar transformed, JDG's damage fell short, allowing JKL's Kai'Sa to enter the fray and clean up, resulting in TES wiping out JDG. At the 22-minute mark, TES secured the Rift Herald, while JDG attempted to engage on creme's Viktor but failed to catch up. TES took down the Rift Herald and eliminated four members of JDG. At the 25-minute mark, wink's Tahm Kench was caught in the jungle, leading to TES claiming the first Baron, while JDG managed to kill 369's Gnar in the bot lane. Eventually, at the 27-minute mark, JDG again tried to engage on creme's Viktor in the bot lane, but their damage was insufficient. TES countered, wiping out JDG once more and clinching the match victory.
