Group A
Both Na`Vi and Fnatic still would not budge from the first place slot with 2-0 wins over their playtime #3 opponents Invasion-MUFC and DK respectively. Both teams will be playing one more match today before retiring for their final match tomorrow.
The real highlight of Group A is the close scores between fourth placer DK and fifth placer LGD. With only two matches remaining, both favourite Chinese teams will be gunning to finish on the upper bracket of the playoffs.
Malaysian team Invasion-MUFC on the other hand, will not be entering the playoffs from the upper bracket. Mousesports, seventh placer, will qualify for the upper bracket in an unlikely scenario that they win all their games from now on while DK loses all.
Highlight game of playtime: DK vs Na`Vi Game 1
| Day two - Playtime 3 (22:00 CEST) | ||
|---|---|---|
| Game | Results | Match info |
| Zenith vs Dignitas | Match tied 1-1 |
Despite getting off to a good start with the Batrider pick, Zenith could not keep their lead in game one, mostly due to reckless diving and unnecessary trades. However, Zenith bounced back in game two, smashing Dignitas in all lanes including the CK-Io mid dual lane against a solo Timbersaw. Things quickly turned sour for Dignitas. |
| Fnatic vs MUFC | Fnatic won 2-0 | Fnatic dominated in their game against MUFC. It seems MUFC are yet to look back and work on the mistakes they have done during the previous games. H4nn1 used the out positioned MUFC players and took them down one by one. It was really difficult for MUFC to make a comeback after their Beastmaster ended up with 3 deaths during early game. Thus forcing out MUFC to call gg at the 27th min mark. |
| LGD vs Mouz | Match tied 1-1 | Mouz won all three lanes in game one and that bought qojqva's Weaver a quick Radiance. LGD.cn won a few fights after that, utilizing the Naga's sleep to its highest potential but it was not enough to take down Mouz in game one. As for game two, it was LGD who enjoyed the early lead and despite Tinker's best effort to get Mouz back in the game, Sylar's Alchemist combined with perfect Reverse Polarities from Yao was unstoppable. |
| Na`Vi vs DK | Na`Vi won 2-0 | In game one, the Chinese team pulled ahead after taking a huge fight on the mid-lane and to much surprise, chose not to push. This gave Na`Vi more space in which a good Vacuum by funn1k near the Rosh pit brought Na`Vi back into the game. Na`Vi then took control of the map and took game one. Game two is a whole different story as Na`Vi roverwhelmed DK with their trademark aggression and ended the game before the 30-minute mark. |
