Chinese juggernauts Vici Gaming gave no quarter against Gambit Esports at the ONE Esports World Pro Invitational Singapore, winning 2-0. VG refused to let Gambit eke out an advantage for two games straight and will enter the grand finals of the event in fine form.<\/p>
The first game was a Zhang \u201cEurus\u201d Chengjun show. Playing on his signature Leshrac, Eurus dominated the laning stage from the get-go, turning his advantage into a terrorizing force on the map. Leshrac\u2019s early game capabilities were showcased brilliantly and Eurus gift-wrapped the first game for VG.<\/p>
Game two was do-or-die for Gambit and they pulled out all the stops, putting Danil \u201cgpk\u201d Skutin on an aggressive Puck, a hero which has been first phase pick-ban material. VG responded with a Night Stalker offlane pick, a hero that has received several nerfs after its recent renaissance in the pro scene, and a mid Kunkka to secure their teamfight.<\/p>
The Night Stalker pick proved to be a masterstroke. Despite a poor laning phase, Zhou \u201cYang\u201d Haiyang shone on the hero. Yang initiated fights masterfully with his vision advantage and AoE silence, preventing Gambit\u2019s cores from executing their game plan freely. Gambit did not give up, even picking up a Divine Rapier on gpk, but could not stand up to VG\u2019s overwhelming tankiness.<\/p>
