Shanghai Major Qualifiers China: LGD claim their place in the second Major

January 9th, 2016 Tournaments 0 comments

LGD is the first team to qualify for the Shanghai Major in China, after decisively taking down Invictus Gaming.Vitality, 2:0, in the Shanghai Major Qualifiers China Upper Brackets. The veteran squad will join OG, Team Secret, Evil Geniuses, EHOME, ViCi Gaming, CDEC, Virtus.Pro, Alliance and now Fnatic (the winner of the SEA Qualifiers) for the main event set to take place between March 2-6, at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Shanghai, China. One more team from China and two teams from each of the other regions will qualify to compete for the $3 million prize-pool.

LGD swept through Invictus Gaming.Vitality, 2:0, in the Shanghai Major Qualifiers China Upper Bracket finals, to secure their place in the Shanghai Major main event.

After besting Newbee, 2:1, earlier in the day, LGD Gaming advanced to the Upper Bracket finals to face Invictus Gaming’s youth squad.

IG.Vitality had wiped out CDEC.A, 2:0, sending the other youth squad to the Lower Brackets before advancing to the Upper Bracket finals.

LGD’s experience proved to be too much for the youth squad to handle. While the first match was fairly even, the second one was a complete domination by LGD, with Liu “Sylar” Jiajun having an incredible game on Lycan.

IG.Vitality have advanced to the Lower Brackets finals and will face the winning team between Newbee and CDEC.A for a final shot at the second Dota Major.

The matches resume on January 10th, at 07:30 CET, and are expected to be intense, as the teams continue their quest within the second stage of the Shanghai Major Qualifiers China – the double elimination brackets.
