On August 15th , FPX and WE engaged in two intense clashes. Although FPX established several early-game advantages, crucial mid-game decision-making went awry, allowing WE to seize the opportunity and complete a comeback. WE ultimately won both games.

In the first game, FPX took the initiative in the early stages, establishing the tempo. However, WE outmaneuvered the defense in resource acquisition, securing two Rift Heralds and a small dragon, paving the way for a mid-game expansion. At 15:26 , after securing the small dragon , WE delivered a crucial blow during an incursion into the top lane . Rabbit decisively took the initiative, instantly dispatching FPX 's mid and jungle. Although Rell arrived just in time, he was unable to connect effectively, allowing WE to secure the Herald and further expand their advantage in both economy and resources.

Entering the mid-game, while FPX was still able to hold their own against WE in teamfights , their opponents consistently controlled resources. WE secured the Eldritch Dragon and Ertahan, gradually establishing a winning position. At 26:45 , FPX 's Sejuani fought tooth and nail to secure the Little Dragon, and along with their top and mid lane teammates, they disrupted WE's Baron attempt. However, in the subsequent head-on teamfight, the underdeveloped Zeli was unable to withstand WE's powerful frontline. WE ultimately wiped out the teamfight, advancing without needing Baron and ending the game in a single wave.

In game two, FPX maintained their early initiative. At 9:15 , Jhin's precise kills in the top lane clinch a three-man showdown, helping FPX maintain control of the tempo and secure the Rift Brood and Dragon. However, at 15:15 , WE nimbly pivoted , collaborating with Gravedigger to push bottom lane. Taking advantage of FPX's jungler's inability to support the Vanguard in the top lane, they successfully destroyed the second bottom lane tower and secured the Dragon.

At 18:17 , WE found a crucial mid-game breakthrough. Pantheon and Neeko's combined ultimates secured a perfect first move, and Kai'Sa, with a long-range chase, completed the kill, wiping out FPX and securing the dragon again, quickly closing the gold gap. At 26:14 , FPX's accumulated mid-game disadvantage left them unable to counterattack. WE capitalized on their momentum, destroying two towers in a row and ending the game with a 2-0 comeback.
