GosuCup Asia V Day 2

 

 

Day 2 for GosuCup Asia began with the top 16 teams in the playoffs fighting to win the tournament. The second day of the tournament proved to be too much to handle for teams like Mineski HyperX, Neolution.Th, Pcfc2, while team Pacific were forced to forfeit their first match as the schedule clashed with a local tournament they were already participating in.

 

Neolution.Orange, First Departure, Mith.Trust, and Gameware were all successful and advanced through to the semi-finals of the tournament. Neolution.Orange had to face Gameware in the semi-finals while Mith.Trust was up against First Departure. (For those who are unaware, Gameware is the same team which recently won the Armaggeddon Qualifiers for the Vietnam region.)

 

While a win in the semi-final against Neolution.Orange would definitely have been a huge confidence boost, Gameware did not stand a chance as Neolution.Orange defeated them in two games. Mith.Trust had to play the entire three match series against First Departure but eventually pulled through and won the match with a score of 2-1.

 

 

The final between Mith.Trust and Neolution.Orange began with a bang as Mith.Trust were able to pull a victory in the first game of the Grand Finals and was just a win away from claiming the GosuCup Asia V championship title.

 

Neolution.Orange, however, was determined to retain their title and Mith.Trust made some overconfident plays in the second game to allow Neolution.Orange to level the best of three series at 1-1 and force the third game decider. It could have easily gone both ways in the third game but after feeling out their opponents for two games, it seemed that Neolution.Orange were able to predict the strategies of their opponents and were able to claim a victory in the third game of the Grand Finals.

 

While Neolution.Orange takes first place, First Departure was able to secure third place after handily dispatching Gameware in the bronze match. The final standings and winnings breakdown from GosuCup Asia V are as follow:
