The early game is very close but Fnatic has a small gold lead over Copenhagen wolves because of an early turret kill. When Copenhagen Wolves go for dragon at about 11 minutes into the game, they force a 3v3 fight at the dragon in which they come out victorious with two kills for one death.

When the game transitions into midgame and the laning phase ends, Copenhagen Wolves starts to put pressure on Fnatic but the pressure is quickly countered. At 17 minutes into the game, a big 5v5 team fight breaks out at dragon in which Copenhagen Wolves manage to catch and kill xRated before they proceed to kill dragon without uncontested. At this point, the game is really close; both teams are at almost the exact same gold, same amount of kills as well as turret kills.

In the late game Copenhagen Wolves starts to push mid hard but, instead of defending, Fnatic base race them. Fnatic manage to take out the bottom turret and inhibitor before Copenhagen Wolves so they are able to get back in time to defend. As Fnatic push hard middle, a 5v5 fight breaks out and it is really close but in the end Copenhagen Wolves manages to ace Fnatic and have one surviving player left.
After the team fight in the middle, Copenhagen Wolves are showing a lot of confidence and they are playing well but a failed fight allows Fnatic to kill baron. As Fnatic push towards the middle turret, another big fight breaks out, Copenhagen Wolves manages to ace them once again and CW Bjergsen gets a quadra kill.

From this point, and throughout the rest of the game, both teams are playing well but it is Copenhagen Wolves who are really showing just how strong they are. After a big fight at baron, Fnatic manages to catch one of Copenhagen Wolves players and after that kill Fnatic use two teleport summoners to backdoor Copenhagen Wolves base in an attempt to finish the game but they get stopped before that can happen. Instead, Copenhagen Wolves turns it around and push Fnatic’s base where a 5v5 fight breaks out and Copenhagen Wolves ace Fnatic in their own base which causes Copenhagen Wolves to be able to finish the game.
