Before the event, however, faced a scrape and exchanged their initiator YIP “You” Man-Ho in favor of the substitute Zhang “Midi” Jiajun, which eventually led to early departure.

Maps went input (13-8 XLG), Icebox (13-9 all players) and clean surface on lotus (13-1 XLG). This particular victory eliminated AG from running and confirmed XLG qualification.
