After an impressive 5-1 run in the Group Stage, the summoners from the U-Belt went on to qualify for the tournament’s Playoffs stage to face off against the ZhongNan University of China in the semifinals. Despite their strong start in the series however, the Teletigers fell to the Chinese representative 1-2.
For the entirety of the semifinals, the main focus of both teams centered around getting their respective AD carries ahead.
