In game 1, Evil Geniuses showed an excellent laning phase. The team also takes one target after another, shrinking the enemy’s map. However, there was a skirmish around the Roshan pit where Evil Geniuses’ position was not optimal, which somewhat caused the game to be leveled. Rises, who has struggled so far with his ghostly Assassin safelane, is starting to gain momentum. For the rest of the match, both teams dealt blows, but in the last major skirmish, Rises wiped out Evil Geniuses with the Double Damage rune, and Black N Yellow won after 44 minutes.
