ViCi Gaming proves they are still at the top in China as they take the OGA Dota PIT 2020: China title after dominating PSG.LGD 3:1 in the grand finals.
After Valve canceled the remaining DPC season 2019-2020 events, including OGA Dota PIT Minor due to the Coronavirus, organizers took to an online format instead.
OGA Dota PIT 2020: China saw eight of China's top teams battle it out for the title and lion's share of the $60,000 prize pool.
ViCi Gaming are still at the top of the Chinese ranks. Not only have they ended the DPC 2019-2020 season (at the halfway mark) in second place with an impressive 2nd and 3rd place at both Majors. Now, they have taken the title of the OGA Dota PIT 2020: China with the same confidence and strength seen throughout the earlier part of the season.
The team took first place in their group and was seeded directly into the second round of upper brackets of the playoffs. There they dominated over Team Aster 2:1 and then swept through PSG.LGD.
In a re-match against LGD in the grand finals, they dropped the first game after being outplayed and outdone by LGD, but then bounced back to take control and the next two games with relative ease and a hard-earned victory in the last game to clinch the title.
OGA Dota PIT 2020: Europe/CIS will kick off tomorrow, May 13th with ten invited teams from both regions.
