As the tournament nears its end, only four teams advanced to the final round consisting of best-of-five (Bo5) matches. Following a lot of nail-biting games and major upsets, First Stand certainly showed not only that Fearless Draft is here to stay, but just how much League of Legends Esports has evolved over the years.

Having said that, we will go over the best-of-five (Bo5) match between CTBC Flying Oyster and Karmine Corp from Day 6 of the tournament.
