China Looks Strong on Day One of TI5

by on July 28, 2015
 

Day one of The International 5 group stage is in the books and surprisingly it is the Chinese that sit atop of both groups. LGD dispatched C9 and Complexity to go two points clear in group A while ViCi 2-0’d Empire and drew 1-1 with MVP.Hot6ix to be one point clear in group B.

Favourites Team Secret sit just behind LGD in group A on four points having beaten IG and drawing to Fnatic while the American hopefuls EG are floundering in joint 3rd place in group B having drawn 1-1 against both VP and last years winners NewBee.

Fortunately every team has managed to win at least one game and thus secure a point, meaning everyone still has an incredibly strong chance of gaining that winner’s bracket advantage.

eSports! I joined God is a Geek all the way back in September 2013 and since then have spent most of my time on Dota 2, and occasionally posting the odd review, news article or totally wrong predictions for The International. When I am not playing Dota I can probably be seen watching some kind of strange eSport or begging for more Twitter followers (@MikeStubbsy if you are interested). Aside from GiaG I am a computing student, football coach and major Apple fanboy.
