How did DK beat T1?
According to Dot Esports, T1 took this game very seriously and played it by the book. The execution failed them when it mattered. DK won a fight around the Elder Dragon, wiped T1 and closed the game straight away.
It was DK's second comeback of the event. The team also came from behind against G2 in its opening game. Faker's T1 now has much less room for error.
How one-sided was Gen.G vs HLE?
The most hyped game of the night turned out to be a stomp. Gen.G beat Hanwha Life Esports in about 29 minutes. Dot Esports said Ruler and Duro dominated their bot lane opponents. Gen.G has had HLE's number for most of the year, and that trend continues.
Other key moments

G2 beat LOS 22 kills to 9, but the game was far messier than the score suggests. Caps was solo killed again and again, and jungler Skewmond carried the win. Movistar KOI controlled its game against CTBC Flying Oyster from start to finish.
In the latest NA vs EU chapter, LYON beat Karmine Corp. KC started well, but big teamfights from Inspired and Dhokla pulled LYON back into the game. Invictus Gaming beat Team Secret Whales with ease, and Bilibili Gaming crushed Team Liquid.
