ViCi Gaming, on the other hand, had been dropped to the lower brackets in the first round of the playoffs. It was there that they refound their form and swept through the other two remaining teams to stake their claim at the main event. ViCi Gaming. VG played with Sun "Agressif" Zheng in position 3 with Zhou "Yang" Haiyang moving into position 4 and Pan "Fade" Yi sitting out on the bench.
