The first 14 minutes of the match are mostly characterized by typical 8v8 play at the middle of the map (aside from one split attempt by Chapeau Bas, which gets him killed directly after time at 4:01) with each team's Ritualist chain running flags. [Gank] takes only one death during this period, on Endgame Mechanics, as compared to [HSR] taking a total of 3 deaths. Realizing they are not accomplishing anything in the match, [HSR] starts aggressively splitting their Fire Ele into [Gank]'s base at 14:30. Bronze Is Enough keeps getting pushed out of the base by Rotten for a couple minutes, but then he commits to a push and kills one of [Gank]'s Knights. This push ends up getting him killed right after manages to kill the Knight, at 16:30.

Not wanting to fall behind on the eventual Lord-damage scenario this game is most likely heading towards, [Gank] starts to do an offensive split push of their own and drops both of [HSR]'s Knights right before 18:00. Both teams continue to attempt offensive split pushes, with [Gank] being far more aggressive. Bronze Is Enough is the only [HSR] player that tries to split and he dies again at 20:50 in a split attempt, but without taking any of [Gank]'s base NPC's down with him this time. Meanwhile, [Gank] has killed both of [HSR]'s Lord-pit archers.

The teams eventually find themselves 8v8 again and [HSR] takes deaths on S I E M A and Harrper Ex Machina at almost exactly the same time, shortly after the 22:00 mark. This pair of deaths forces [HSR] to pull back to their base and almost surely seals the game for [Gank]. After rezzing at 24:00, [HSR] attempt to split most of their offensive into [Gank]'s base, but they are not able to accomplish anything. [Gank] eventually wins the game on Lord damage at 28:00.
