Nanyang Championships season 2 day 2 has concluded. ViCi Gaming.Reborn has dropped to the lower brackets after massive disconnect and inability for match to be reloaded properly. Wings Gaming and Newbee both advanced in the upper brackets to the finals after dropping CDEC.Youth and LGD Gaming to the lower brackets. The action resumes with the elimination series between Digital Chaos and Team Empire – a series expected to be intense as the only two Western teams fight to remain in the event.
Nanyang Championships season 2 day 2 started out with an intense series between ViCi Gaming.Reborn and Newbee – a match that many were looking forward to. After tying up the series 1:1, the two TI6 bound teams headed into the deciding third match.
A massive disconnect consisting of all players about 24 minutes into the game ended up becoming the center of attention.
Since the launch of Reborn, games have not been able to be restarted and saved at a point prior to disconnects.
Being unable to reload the game appropriately, both teams were given 30 minutes to discuss how to proceed. Unable to reach an agreement, ViCi Gaming.Reborn ended up forfeiting the game and dropped to the lower brackets. Prior to the disconnect, Newbee had a considerable lead.

Newbee vs ViCi Gaming.Reborn – Upper Bracket quarterfinals

The second match belonged to ViCi Gaming.Reborn with famed coach Tong “mikasa” Junjie having a strong performance on Puck and Yang “Zyf/end” Pu’s fantastic Phantom Lancer.
