In semifinal 1, T1 and Faker took the loss in game 1. They followed up with continued aggression for the next four games. But T1 got outclassed and out farmed in game 5 by DK.
On the other hand, in semifinal 2 EDG took comfortable leading game 1. But their AD carry got caught up in numerous 3 men ganks leading to losses. However, GenG could not stop EDG from taking their seat in the finals.
