Game 1: CFO Takes Control
The opening game featured a tense exchange of momentum. FLY’s jungler and bot lane duo created early pressure, but CFO’s superior map awareness and objective timing shifted the balance. Each time FLY secured a pick, CFO answered by claiming Dragons and Rift Heralds, gradually building a gold lead.
CFO’s mid laner hongQ played with precision, using smart positioning to reverse several skirmishes that could have turned against them. His calm decision-making stabilized the team whenever FLY attempted to regain tempo. Meanwhile, Doggo, CFO’s bot laner, maintained relentless aggression. His proactive trades and early poke damage limited FLY’s ability to engage effectively.
A brief summary of key factors from Game 1:
- Objective control: CFO consistently prioritized neutral objectives.
- Momentum shifts: FLY forced fights but lost ground on macro trades.
- Player highlight: hongQ’s clutch plays and Doggo’s pressure dictated pace.
CFO closed the game after securing Baron, using the buff to dismantle FLY’s defenses and claim the first win of the series.
Game 2: CFO Secures the Series
In the second game, CFO entered with confidence and executed a cleaner, faster strategy. Doggo’s Draven pick immediately set the tone, applying early dominance in lane. The team split the map to isolate FLY’s carries, forcing them into unfavorable trades.
A creative Neeko–cannon setup caught FLY off guard, giving CFO a decisive mid-game advantage. From there, the team maintained steady pressure, denying vision and exploiting every cooldown window. FLY’s attempts to counterattack fell short as CFO methodically closed the game.
Key moments from Game 2 included:
- Early aggression: Doggo’s Draven controlled bot lane tempo.
- Tactical execution: The Neeko setup created pivotal picks.
- Regional milestone: CFO’s victory marked the APAC region’s first Worlds quarterfinal appearance since 2015.
CFO’s 2–0 triumph demonstrated disciplined play and strategic adaptability, earning them a well-deserved place in the next stage.
