Wildcard Gaming vs T1
Wildcard Gaming faced a difficult task. They needed to beat a team from Southeast Asia, reinforced by ana and Topson, two-time The International champions, for a chance to compete in a tiebreaker for a place in the upper bracket.
And at first it really seemed that they could succeed. WG won the first map against T1 quite confidently, seizing the advantage in terms of total cost almost immediately. But T1 wasn't about to give up so easily. The duel lasted 50 minutes, as a result of which Sammyboy and the team forced T1 to write “gg” in the chat. The result on the map is 39:16 in favor of Wildcard Gaming.
T1 recovered from the defeat and decided to draw the match. In 35 minutes, the eminent team from Asia defeated Wildcard Gaming with a score of 39:16. It is worth noting the perfect performance of ana, the esportsman played Morphling with 18-0-2 statistics.
