Undefeated, TnC top the charts at MDL Macau Minor Day 1

Sliding into the top position, TnC Pro finished up their first day at MDL Macau Minor undefeated with a 3:0 record.

With a marathon of 18 best-of-one round robin series to open up MDL Macau Minor, there was no shortage of action, upsets and surprises. TNC Pro Team finished out their first day at the event undefeated, taking three wins under their belt - being the only team with such a perfect opening.

Virtus.pro, with coach  Ivan "Artstyle" Antonov standing in for captain Alexei "Solo" Berezin had a rocky start to the event taking a loss to LGD Gaming and then in a shocking upset were completely out-drafted and then ultimately crushed by VGJ.Storm with Damien "kpii" Chok standing in for the NA team in only 27 minutes. Fans began to worry about the CIS team's chances but then they served up OG's only loss of the day with a flawless performance by Vladimir "No[o]ne" Minenko on Shadow Fiend and an overwhelming victory and then continued to prevail, taking down LGD Forever Young in the final series of the day - ending with a 2:2 record.

As a last minute invite after Valve stepped in to set matters right, EHOME were set to justify their participation. Playing a whopping five games today, they ended with a 3:2 record after falling to Natus Vincere in their last series. Na'Vi had an average day in results - end 2:2 but a positive day overall with a stunning comeback against LGD Gaming and some clean team fights and stand out plays.

Rounding out the bottom of the ladder is the Peruvian team Infamous. With five games left to play, it will be a grueling uphill battle tomorrow for the team to find a place in the top four.

The action continues with the last day of long round-robin in Macau tomorrow at 03:00 CET/10:00 CST with Infamous vs LGD and OG vs TnC. By the end of the 18 games, only four teams will be left standing and advance to the playoff brackets.
