After the second Baron, Team BDS took pushed through to take a 2-0 lead.

Game 3 was Garen’s World. With an early kill in the top lane, Garen scaled well. Golden Guardians tried to stall and earn time to catch up, but the fights in the side lanes were in Team BDS’ favor. Garen had up to a 600G bounty on him as Team BDS pushed through the bot lane and destroyed Golden Guardians’ final Nexus.
