Chinese Juggernauts Vici Gaming Dominate Gambit Esports at ONE Esports World Pro Invitational Singapore
Chinese powerhouse Vici Gaming (VG) showcased their dominance against Gambit Esports at the ONE Esports World Pro Invitational Singapore, winning with a clean 2-0 victory. VG displayed their top form, denying Gambit any advantage and securing their spot in the grand finals of the event.
Eurus Takes the Lead in Game One
In the first game, Zhang “Eurus” Chengjun stole the show with his exceptional performance on his signature hero, Leshrac. Eurus dominated the laning stage and utilized Leshrac’s early game strength to terrorize the map. With his impressive display, Eurus secured the victory for VG in the first game.
Gambit Fights Back in Game Two
Game two was a crucial moment for Gambit as they fought to stay in the competition. They put Danil “gpk” Skutin on the aggressive hero Puck, which has been highly valued in the draft. VG responded with a Night Stalker offlane pick, a hero that has recently seen a resurgence in popularity. VG’s strategy paid off as Zhou “Yang” Haiyang excelled on Night Stalker, initiating fights with precision and disrupting Gambit’s game plan. Despite Gambit’s efforts, they couldn’t overcome VG’s tankiness and ultimately fell short.
Gambit’s Promising Performance
Despite the loss, Gambit’s young core players Kiyalbek “dream`” Tayirov and gpk demonstrated great skill and composure under pressure. For a relatively new team in the Dota 2 scene, Gambit’s performance at the World Pro Invitational was impressive. They can take away many positives from this event, including a prize money of $60,000. Gambit’s future looks promising, and it will be exciting to see them compete in upcoming Majors.
