Neither T1 nor GenG were pushovers. Both teams fought until the bitter end and tried to claw defeats from the final game of the series.
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.
