• At minute 28, GEN found an ideal engage, caught KT out of position, and converted into Baron for themselves.
• By 34 minutes, GEN’s initiation on the enemy jungler (Prince) looked promising, but KT’s jungler Canyon (playing Vi) TP’d onto GEN’s high-ground; a brutal 4-4 scrappy fight followed, and GEN earned their second Baron-type objective (their Soul).
