Speed Gaming.int vs Vici Gaming (2-0)

After Speed Gaming.int's lost to Team DK it was crucial for Speed to win this series in order to seal their position in the winner's half of the playoffs which going into the match had the odds favoured against them due to the fact that Vici Gaming was at the time seen as the strongest team in the Eastern scene and had just come back from their recent victory in the EMS One Fall tournament against Fnatic in Poland.

　　

Game 1

Another strong showing from EE-Sama's Luna along with Sing Sing on his signature Mirana and an overall perfect game from Speed Gaming.int saw them take the first game with ease against the Eastern giants.
