China Supermajor; OpTic and TNC still standing

The 3rd day‘s the China Supermajor playoffs would be a brutal one. Four teams - Evil Geniuses, VGJ. Storm, Mineski, and VGJ. 

Thunder were sent packing their bags, ending their season with disappointing 9-12th place finishes.

The China Supermajor has really felt such as the Majors of years past, decorated with hype, emotionally charged games, nailbiting races for it and gut-wrenching losses. 

Infamous was not able to clinch one victory with their DPC event season. 

Final Tribe couldn't resolve the large dogs outside from the EU region. 

Evil Geniuses new roster debuted only to become pack up rather quickly with a less when compared to a spectacular introduction.

Like the event chugs onward, one spot for TI8 is left to claim and three teams remain hoping to claim that spot.

The opening series from the day was the NA grudge match involving the reformed Evil Geniuses and also the rising giants, OpTic Gaming. 

While both games started out relatively even for the very first half-hour each, it was eventually OpTic that will prevail during the past minutes from the game as they simply could continuously come out ahead inside the fights during the very first game and once EG overextended in the next match. 

Evil Geniuses may have 1 week to get ready for the open qualifiers for TI8 and show the planet their true star potential.

Inside a reverse sweep TNC Pro Team knocked VGJ. Storm from contention and kept their very own TI8 invite dreams alive. 

Although the North American team seemed to bring the very first game advantage with ease, it was eventually the SEA team that struck hard in the next game, having a full aggressive assault ending in 26 minutes. 

Their victory tied in the series and inside the deciding game took almost one hour to close out. Littered with ups and downs, it was eventually ultimately TNC that maintained the control and slight edge to eventually pull ahead and eliminate the victory thanks in big part to Armel Armel Paul Tabios’s Mirana.

The Mineski vs Vici Gaming series was an incredibly long one. Not just made it happen navigate to the full three games, however the first match was the longest inside the tournament thus far - a whopping 88 minutes. 

It was eventually then followed up having a 43-minute game after which a 52-minute match. As both of these teams clashed on as well as on the instant that‘ll be remembered most will certainly be the aegis deny by Kam “Moon” Boon right in front of Chai “Mushi” Yee Fung —a moment harking back to the TI3 deny by Lee “kYxY” Kong Yang as Mushi's teammate on Orange esports.

The final series from the day between VGJ. Thunder and Newbee would be a 2 : 0 sweep, of two 1 hour long games. 

Both matches were backwards and forwards with VGJ. 

Thunder struggling inside the very late game to carry onto any advantage or seal the deal.

With VGJ. Thunder eliminated, their fate for TI8 now hinges about what happens for OpTic Gaming and TNC inside the next few days.

The action resumes tomorrow, June 7 at 10 : 00 local time / 04 : 00 CEST with the 2 upper bracket series before moving to the 2 lower bracket elimination series.
