After iG Vitality claimed the first Chinese qualifier spot to the Kiev Major yesterday, Invictus Gaming took down Vici Gaming to follow their sister team in Kiev.
The incredibly resilient Xu 'BurNIng' Zhilei has carried Invictus Gaming to yet another Valve event. For the Chinese organization the achievement is even bigger as they will be fighting for the Mystic Staff trophy at the Kiev Major with both of their teams. The TI2 champions, Invictus Gaming spent a long unsuccessful period in which their secondary team, iG Vitality, had to carry the flag for the organization. Unable to qualify for Frankfurt, Shanghai or Manila Majors, iG Vitality finally brought a glimpse of hope last December when they managed to claim one of the two Chinese qualifier spots to the Boston Major.
However, the squad faced big visa problems and were not able to attend the event with their full line-up. Left at home, Su 'super' Peng and Gao 'Dogf1ghts' Tianpeng had to watch their own team fighting in Boston while Fu 'Q' Bin and BurNIng stepped in to help Vitality. It was one of the rare occasions when we got to see BurNIng playing the support role and although Vitality got eliminated in the first round of the single elimination main event bracket, his special Witch Doctor and Rubick plays from the group stage are hard to forget.
This time around, BurNIng will be carrying Invictus Gaming at the Kiev Major and hopefully all the players will be able to secure the visa.
