IceIceIce and Burning showdown for last G-1 spot

 

 

The G-1 Champions league is approaching the home stretch with NeoES.Orange, Invictus Gaming, and LGD.China having already confirmed their spots in the LAN Finals with only one precious spot is left for either DK or Zenith.

 

These two former participants of past The International have had their ups and downs in the tournament so far with both teams, coming from the second bracket together with iG and Chains Stack, having already met twice. Their first meeting was during ‘The International 2’ Round 4 Losers’ bracket elimination. With his former reliable support ‘LongDD’, Burning helped eliminate Zenith from that tournament while their second major meeting was during the group stages which saw Zenith get the win over Burning and DK.

The key factor to watch out for today’s series is that DK recently came away with a win over LGD.Int and will definitely be confident going into the matchup against Zenith. On the other hand, Zenith comes off a loss against LGD.cn just two days ago, so all eyes will be on IceIceIce and the rest of the team to see if they have the determination to bounce back and claim the last spot for the LAN Finals in China.

Rapture Gaming Network is predicting this series to swing 2-1 to Zenith. Although they have been playing without XY during this crucial period, the team has still been convincing in their performances and showed what they they are all about and known for. Nothing to take away from DK though but the key factor will be if Burning can get the type of support that he had during ‘The International 2’ to be able to knock-out a Top-Tier team like Zenith.
