It is the first reverse sweep in an international tournament in three years.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/europe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/r1783073723317736.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" data-lightbox=\"article\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/europe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/r1783073723317736.jpeg\" alt=\"\ub9ac\uadf8 \uc624\ube0c \ub808\uc804\ub4dc League of Legend : Clash of Fates\" style=\"vertical-align:baseline;\"\/><\/a>\u00a9Riot Games<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:2em 0 0 0;padding:0;overflow:visible;\">TES secured the first kill. Early in the game, Cr\u00e8me&#8217;s Cassiopeia took down Caps&#8217; LeBlanc. G2 successfully countered in the bottom lane; when both teams&#8217; junglers rotated down, a 3v3 skirmish broke out, and G2 managed to take down Jackylove&#8217;s Varus and Meiko&#8217;s Nautilus. <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:2em 0 0 0;padding:0;overflow:visible;\">In response, TES consistently pressured Caps&#8217; LeBlanc in the top lane, catching them twice more to build momentum. TES held a slight gold lead, while G2 had secured two Dragon stacks. TES played aggressively for the subsequent Dragons, evening the stack count at 2-2. TES then won a crucial teamfight, securing their third Dragon stack and Baron, which allowed them to seize control and take the first set.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:2em 0 0 0;padding:0;overflow:visible;\">In Game 2, TES focused on their mid-jungle synergy to find early openings. While TES held a slight edge in the overall flow, G2 showed their resilience, using organic movement around the bottom lane to pick up small advantages and pushing TES back in mid-game teamfights.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:2em 0 0 0;padding:0;overflow:visible;\">However, TES remained confident in their combat. During a 5v5 teamfight for the Rift Herald, G2 secured the objective, but TES won the fight and destroyed the top tier-1 tower. In the following Dragon teamfight, TES&#8217; Neeko landed a fantastic initiation, leading to a decisive teamfight victory. TES followed up by taking the Dragon and Baron to seal the game and go up 2-0.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:2em 0 0 0;padding:0;overflow:visible;\">The 3-0 streak that had continued since the Play-In stage was broken by G2. In Game 3, G2 engaged in constant skirmishes with TES from the start while steadily stacking Dragons. G2 clearly led the skirmishes from the 3-Dragon mark, and after picking off opponents to secure Baron, G2 capitalized on TES&#8217; impatient play to take their first win of the series.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:2em 0 0 0;padding:0;overflow:visible;\">In Game 4, G2 started strong with kills in the bottom and top lanes. Although TES secured Dragons well, G2&#8217;s calculated plays resulted in more kills, giving G2 a slight gold lead. G2 secured the Rift Herald, and when the next Dragon spawned, G2 committed all members to the pit; TES chose not to force a fight, conceding the Dragon to focus on scaling.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:2em 0 0 0;padding:0;overflow:visible;\">TES secured the next Dragon to reach three stacks, but G2 responded with a side-lane play to pick off Tristana before successfully taking Baron. Caps&#8217; Twisted Fate continued to split-push, destroying the bottom and mid inhibitors. The game stretched past 39 minutes with the Dragon stacks tied at 3-3. However, G2 utilized their map control with Twisted Fate to secure the next Baron. Ultimately, G2 caught out Tristana again and won the 41-minute marathon, tying the series 2-2.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:2em 0 0 0;padding:0;overflow:visible;\">In the final fifth set, G2&#8217;s Caps on Milio had a comfortable laning phase against Cr\u00e8me&#8217;s Yone in the mid lane, and the other lanes were also performing well. TES&#8217; Tian attempted to gank mid with Maokai to help Yone, but G2 suffered a major loss in a subsequent top-lane fight, allowing G2 to snowball the game.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:2em 0 0 0;padding:0;overflow:visible;\">Mel picked up another kill in mid, extending G2&#8217;s gold lead to over 2000-3k. TES managed to defend against G2&#8217;s bottom-lane push, preventing a total collapse. However, G\u20a92 the next engagement, extending their lead to about 4k gold by the 20-minute mark. TES then targeted Hans Sama&#8217;s Sivir, but she survived with dramatic kiting, leading to a massive teamfight win for G2 that widened the gap further.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:2em 0 0 0;padding:0;overflow:visible;\">After taking down Tian&#8217;s Maokai, G2 secured Baron. Despite TES&#8217; resilient defense, G2 slowly pushed in, destroyed the Nexus, and became the protagonists of a thrilling 3-2 reverse sweep.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/europe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/r1783073726847500.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" data-lightbox=\"article\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/europe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/r1783073726847500.jpeg\" alt=\"\ub9ac\uadf8 \uc624\ube0c \ub808\uc804\ub4dc League of Legend : Clash of Fates\" style=\"vertical-align:baseline;\"\/><\/a>MSI Broadcast \u00a9LCK<a href=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/europe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/r1783073728369933.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" data-lightbox=\"article\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/europe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/r1783073728369933.jpeg\" alt=\"\ub9ac\uadf8 \uc624\ube0c \ub808\uc804\ub4dc League of Legend : Clash of Fates\" style=\"vertical-align:baseline;\"\/><\/a>MSI Broadcast \u00a9LCK<a href=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/europe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/r1783073729919932.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" data-lightbox=\"article\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/europe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/r1783073729919932.jpeg\" alt=\"\ub9ac\uadf8 \uc624\ube0c \ub808\uc804\ub4dc League of Legend : Clash of Fates\" style=\"vertical-align:baseline;\"\/><\/a>MSI Broadcast \u00a9LCK<a href=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/europe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/r1783073731471846.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" data-lightbox=\"article\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/europe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/r1783073731471846.jpeg\" alt=\"\ub9ac\uadf8 \uc624\ube0c \ub808\uc804\ub4dc League of Legend : Clash of Fates\" style=\"vertical-align:baseline;\"\/><\/a>MSI Broadcast \u00a9LCK<a href=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/europe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/r1783073718985045.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" data-lightbox=\"article\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/europe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/r1783073718985045.jpeg\" alt=\"\ub9ac\uadf8 \uc624\ube0c \ub808\uc804\ub4dc League of Legend : Clash of Fates\" style=\"vertical-align:baseline;\"\/><\/a>MSI Broadcast \u00a9LCK<\/p>\n<p>                    This article was originally written in Korean and translated with the help of NC AI.
