Game three: fewer kills, more towers
IG’s mid laner Rookie made 11 kills against 2 deaths in game three, and IG finished ahead on kills, 18 to 16. It did not lead on anything else. Gen.G took nine towers to five, the baron, and a gold lead of 78,179 to 71,690. Ruler ended the game on 7 kills and 437 creep score. That was enough to finish the series.
