For the first 16 minutes of the match the two teams fight mostly at the center of the map, with [True] taking no pressure and slowly building up death penalty on [LaG]. Lag For Rainbow attempts one split into True's base at 3:30 and nearly kills a Knight, but both Zurrie and Anvar are back before he can make the kill and he lets himself die before 4:00 to the Knight, just in time to resurrect back in his base and pick up a flag. [LaG] runs flags on their frontline characters for the entire match, keeping their Ritualist at stand, while making small flagpush attempts and sometimes threatening to split into [True]'s base (with Zurrie always heading back to counter). [True] scores a total of 6 other kills during these 16 minutes, in addition to the first on Lag For Rainbow, but those deaths are partially negated by one morale boost [LaG] is able to achieve.

Shortly after the 16:00 minute mark, Bloodred Unspoken splits into [True]'s base (followed by Zurrie and then eventually Anvar) and the remainder of [True]'s team starts pushing across the bridge towards LaG's base. Bloodred attempts to kill a Knight but Zurrie and Anvar are already back and he is killed trying to escape at 17:00. Zurrie runs through the portal path towards [LaG]'s base after Bloodred is killed, while Anvar goes to run a backup flag. And then the match suddenly turns horrific in every way possible for [True].

After coming through the second portal, Zurrie runs into [LaG]'s base alone, while the remainder of the team is fighting nearby in front of the bridge. Lag For Rainbow runs in to kill Zurrie, who manages to stay alive with Blinding Flash just long enough for Stop Joking to come over and heal him. At the same time, Kida Is On The Way has also run into [LaG]'s base (followed by Eternal Brain Dmg and M E N I K) and immediately pulls both Knights. Lag For Rainbow jumps on Kida and promptly kills him. Meanwhile, the remainder of [True]'s team has still been standing in front of [LaG]'s base for some reason and have allowed Better Call Saul to run a flag directly through them. Zurrie resurrects Kida in [LaG]'s base and Kida is again killed in seconds (this time with the added assistance of Bloodred, who recently resurrected in the base at 18:00).

While [True]'s team attempts to pull back from [LaG]'s base after the second death on Kida, Better Call Saul has capped the flag and starts attacking Anvar at the flagstand, who seems unaware of how to react. Anvar tries to cast two hexes through Saul's Holy Veil and then does not weapon himself after the first one he cast dropped. Consequentially, Saul ends up quickly killing Anvar all by himself. At the same time, back at the side of [LaG]'s base, [True]'s team has been consumed by complete chaos. All of the health bars are dropping and Andalusian Dog opts to run away from the fight taking place near the portal, going over the bridge route. Stop Joking and the remainder of [True], except for Zurrie, all die shortly thereafter. [LaG] rushes for [True]'s base and Zurrie gives Windbourne Speed to Andalusian Dog so that he can hopefully get back to [True]'s base before [LaG] can finish the match. This is unfortunately not enough, as Aerox In Wonderland is successfully able to stop Andalusian Dog from getting to the Lord Pit after he has entered the base. [True]'s Guild Lord is killed just before the 20:00 mark, in a stunning turn of events.
