GEN started the first half with two points in the pistol game, and Meteor made a wonderful return and three kills in the first round to kick off this championship match! SEN scored this point at point C by playing the garage in round 3. In the crucial 4th round, GEN failed to win the economic bottom, and they could only save money in the 5th round. In the 5th round, SEN attacked point C, and although T3 intercepted SEN for a lot of time and knocked out two people, the disadvantage of the firearms still existed, and SEN successfully won this point to overtake the score. In the 6th round, SEN scored on point A quickly, and after GEN was knocked out at point A, he directly chose to keep the gun. In the 7th round, SEN did not play at point A, but was hit by GEN at point C, and SEN had no way to retreat but to lose this point hard. In the 8th round, both sides were big guns, SEN wanted to touch point A slowly, but Munchkin Viper opened a big block to block the offensive intersection, SEN chose to turn B fake drop bag to deceive people, knocking out GEN's back defense, and finally GEN was left with only Munchkin to pick up the sniper gun. SEN thought that point B was their "blessed land", and who could want to lose points by being pinched left and right at point B in round 9. SEN didn't believe in evil and continued to fight B, and was guarded by GEN. In the 11th round at point C, GEN's defense was broken by SEN, and only the remnants of blood t3 were left with a pluto endgame one-on-two, and this wave of t3 Tianxiu operation successfully completed the handling of this wave of endgame. In the 12th round, the two sides exchanged offense and defense in the last 10 seconds of point A, but GEN's defensive firepower left SEN with no time to settle down, and finally GEN chased four points in a row to freeze the score at GEN 7-5 SEN in the first half.

In the first half, neither side called a timeout, and the margin was not very large. In the second half, the offense and defense were exchanged, and GEN was still in control of the pistol game, winning two rounds of the pistol game in a row, expanding the difference to 4 points. In the 15th round, TenZ knocked out three people within point A and withstood the first wave of GEN's attack, and the rest of SEN also successfully won the round, although SEN won this round, they were still careful and chose to use the first timeout.

SEN's pause did not work very well, and was broken through by GEN's feint and slow touch A. SEN's economy bottomed out, and in the 17th round, there was only one hero phantom, and when he was defending C-point, he was knocked out by t3 for a single point, which directly made t3 mistakenly think that he had won an ace. GEN went on to score another point and get match point. At the end of round 18, SEN used a second timeout.

In the 19th matchpoint round after a pause, the SEN five-man mixed up, and only Zekken had a phantom. GEN directly attacked the B point Anbao, Zellsis used the Iron Arm Ultimate, and SEN successfully won this point. In the 20th round, GEN used their slow touch operation tactics, but SEN did not give timing, and directly knocked out GEN to get another point. IN ROUND 21, SEN FAILED TO HOLD ON TO GEN'S ATTACK, AND IN THE END, GEN SCORED AT POINT A, GEN 13-8 SEN.

GEN is the "god of the pistol game", and he easily won the pistol game at the beginning, and Karon even scored two consecutive four kills. SEN's two-post lineup was completely restrained by GEN's K/O, who scored four points in a row. In the 5th round, GEN emptied the A point safety bag and released the Qile ultimate, when GEN thought he would get the point, he was found by SEN and returned to the defense to defeat the three GEN and score the first point. In the 6th round, SEN's defense scored another point, and SEN started to gain momentum, but in the 7th round, SEN returned to defend and knocked out the five GEN people, but there was not enough time to unpack, and GEN got the 5th point. In the 8th round, GEN attacked point A to occupy the point, Munchkin got three kills, and this round GEN won it, and SEN chose to pause after the end.

After the timeout, SEN scored points, and in the 9th round, SEN defended point A and disrupted GEN's offensive rhythm to score. SEN found his groove defensively, knocking out GEN at point A in round 10 and giving GEN his first timeout.

In the last two rounds of the first half, SEN failed to defend GEN's attack, and GEN crushed SEN in the endgame, GEN kept delaying SEN's return time, which made SEN very uncomfortable, and GEN fixed the score of the first half at 8-4.

In the second half, SEN won the pistol game, and in the 15th round GEN's bonus point, Munchkin withstood SEN's attack in A small, and GEN scored the first point of the second half. In the 16th round, GEN continued to hold on to point B to score 10th, and SEN was in a hurry to use the second timeout.

After the pause, SEN's savings game failed to turn the tables around, but instead achieved Munchkin's A-point triple kill. In the 18th round, SEN played a big gun, which was a key round for SEN, and SEN successfully won to stabilize the economy. In the 19th round, T3 got Zekken's first kill, SEN switched from A to B but was held by Karon's three kills, and GEN got the match point. In the 20th round, SEN fast-attacked B, but T3 held it directly, and finally GEN won the round 13-7 to win the championship opener.
