Started this week, the tournament is focused on chinese teams and 16 teams were already knocked off the ring. More fights about to come soon and the coverage for the next rounds as well.
The first round report: 16 matches involving 32 teams took place this wednesday and the winners are now on the round two. The others are eliminated from the event (there is no relegation bracket) and all the replays can be found inside this replay pack. All matches were bo1 and only a few were default wins (matches in which one of the teams didn't show for the game).
Since the bracket is too big to be written and organized here, the suggestion is to visit the Tournament Tree and check the next fights. You can already start to guess what team will be the winner because there aren't many known chinese teams participating. Although, do never doubt about the unknown teams, right?
Don't you think that this is a boring asian tournament with the same strategy on games that everyone hates. With so many teams participating, it's just impossible to get bored with all those different playstyles and the $15.000 prize money makes them give their best on each match.
