A Thrilling Matchup at the ONE Esports World Pro Invitational
TNC Predator faced off against Vici Gaming in the lower bracket series at the ONE Esports World Pro Invitational, and the matchup did not disappoint. Despite Vici Gaming taking early leads throughout the series, TNC put up a tough fight. In the end, Vici Gaming secured a 2-1 victory, avoiding elimination and sending TNC Predator to eighth place.
Game One: A Turnaround for TNC
Vici Gaming started off strong in the first game, dominating the laning phase and winning fights. However, TNC managed to come back after a risky item choice by Ori backfired. They patiently waited for their powerful cores, Gabbi and Armel, to come online and eventually secured a hard-fought victory.
Game Two: Vici Gaming’s Dominance
Vici Gaming stomped TNC in the second game with their strong laning and unkillable heroes. TNC had no answer to Vici Gaming’s advantage and conceded defeat.
Game Three: Vici Gaming’s Laning Superiority
Once again, Vici Gaming took an early lead in the third game. Despite TNC’s best efforts, Vici Gaming’s carry, Eurus, on Slark, proved to be unstoppable. Vici Gaming avenged their previous loss in the grand finals of the MDL Chengdu Major and secured the series.
TNC Predator’s two-tournament winning streak comes to an end, but they still have the upcoming Major to look forward to. Vici Gaming will face off against Team Secret in the next series, guaranteeing a top-four placing for the winner.
