In the first match in the 2-1 bracket, Top Esports (TES) defeated Dplus KIA (DK), thereby winning the right to enter the quarterfinals with a score of 3-1.

In game 1, TES played on the blue team and used the main duo Aurora - Ashe, while DK headed to the final stage with Orianna - Smolder. In the early stages, TES easily showed dominance by winning two towers early and dominating the kill points. Taking advantage of this advantage, TES deployed "snowballing" to boost its advantage on the map.

At 20 minutes, Lucid was captured and TES easily won Baron. Although still controlling the match, TES could not increase the gap. At minute 30, TES won the Dragon fight, thereby taking down the second Baron. This time, TES was able to push DK's two lines and ended the game just 2 minutes later, taking a 1-0 lead. 

In game 2, DK switched to the blue side and chose a very strong fighting team, Sejuani and the duo Yone - Miss Fortune. Meanwhile, TES still chose Aurora in the mid lane and switched to Kalista, the ADC, for Jackeylove. The two sides continuously fought at the beginning of the match and there was almost no difference. 

After that, TES continuously won fights and led DK by a distance of 2,000 money. At minute 24, TES wanted to attack Baron but DK counterattacked, gaining 4 kills with this goal. 

However, at minute 31, TES won the fight in the mid lane after a tug-of-war situation and won Baron. Just 5 minutes later, TES pushed into DK's two lanes and won the fight, destroying the main house, thereby sealing a 2-0 victory.
