A recap of the second tour of Dota 2 DPC matches in the China region.
The second week of Dota 2 circuit matches in China have been fabulous. We see PSG.LGD leading, with RNG following them. Xtreme Gaming is also playing well to stay in the second spot. The second division has Dandelion Esport Club at the top, followed by Invictus Gaming and Sparking Arrow Gaming sharing the second spot.
Division I
Royal Never Give Up Vs Vici Gaming
RNG took an early lead and steadily took control of the first match. They locked Vici in their base, who had little space to work with. With RNG taking the first match, the score at the end was 27-10 in 29 minutes.
Vici tried hard to get the second match in the bag with a good lineup. However, the team’s loose play didn’t allow it to take any advantage. RNG had the discipline and kept racking free gold from Vici’s mistakes. The ending scoreline was 28-11 in 37 minutes.
EHOME Vs PSG.LGD
LGD was strong in the first match. They had good chase and catch potential which became a problem for EHOME. The ending scoreline was 19-23 in 32 minutes.
The second match had a similar feel to it. LGD was completely in control of the match and EHOME was scrambling. LGD had a healthy lead right from the early minutes and they converted it into a win. The score was 39-11 in 30 minutes.
Team MagMa Vs Xtreme Gaming
Team MagMa played well to get the first win in the bag. The score was 21-12 in 36 minutes. The second match was a comeback from Xtreme Gaming. It was a tough match for both sides, but Xtreme came on top with a score of 18-37 in 30 minutes. The last match was a stomp. MagMa was helpless as Xtreme Gaming dominated and won 4-25 in 22 minutes.
PSG.LGD Vs Team MagMa
The first match was not much of a challenge for LGD. They controlled the game well and won 11-32 in 32 minutes. However, the second match saw MagMa play wisely. In fact, they were ahead in the early to mid-game. Overextension and poor decision-making gave LGD a way back in the game. MagMa lost 29-28 in almost an hour-long match.
