While the teams participating in The International 5 are preparing for their show down in the coming weeks, in China, the teams not participating in The International 5 are facing off in the HuomaoTV mid-summer League.
The second stage of the HuomaoTV Mid-summer League kicked off on the 19th of July at 06:00 CEST with a best of three between Vici.Potential and Newbee.Y in the winner bracket of the double elimination bracket.
Two out of the four game lined up today have been played, resulting in the elimination of team Terrorblade and the relegation of Newbee.Y to the lower bracket - both matches played out so far have ended with a 2-0.
The next game to be played today will be between Team123 and Tongfu; this game will most likely be the most watched game of today as Team123, the team with the renowned player Ng 'NWP' Wei Pong, is the last SEA team remaining - after the elimination of three other SEA teams in the group stages, most notably, TnC and Mineski.
