　　Today's G-League action has ended with TongFu advancing to the Semi-Finals after defeating Speed Gaming.int in a best of three series and will now join LGD.cn, Team DK and Invictus Gaming in the battle for the first place prize of 200,000 RMB (~$33,000).

　　This also marks the end for Speed Gaming.int's G-League tournament participation falling just short of reaching the Semi-Final stage.

　　

Game 1

The opening the game of the series saw TongFu focus on banning Aui's heroes which left the Mirana pick open for Speed Gaming.int's Sing Sing. Speed combined this pick with the Crystal Maiden and Treant Protector to form an aggressive trilane that we have seen Speed run a few times now in the G-League. To finish up the lineup EE-Sama was placed on his Luna in the mid lane and bOne7 went to the offlane on the Puck.

　　Overall the game was very close even though Speed started off with Sing Sing landing two arrows before the creep wave had spawned netting Speed a nice advantage in their trilane. It was EE-Sama's Luna who turned things in their favour after picking up an ultra kill after a TongFu push went wrong. The game was brought to an end when a double Butterfly was picked up on the Luna in combination with Roshan's Aegis and Cheese on the Mirana which proved to much for TongFu to hold against calling GG at the 47 minute mark.

Game 2

Once again TongFu focused on banning out Aui's primary heroes which in the end forced Speed Gaming.int to pickup a Sand King for pieliedie and moved Aui onto the Rubick. A somewhat questionable Shadow Fiend pick backfired after Nyx Assassin was able to gank him and the courier which had his bottle on whilst he was busy jungling.

　　Overall the game was largely in favour of TongFu for the majority of the game with a number of the pickups from Speed struggling to have an impact which ended with a quick 27 minute GG.

Game 3

A surprising late pick up of the Wisp by Speed Gaming.int had the casters guessing at what Speed had up their sleeve, in the end they went with the Templar Assassin pickup for Sing Sing who was immediately counter-picked by the Razor which left Sing struggling throughout the majority of the game. As well as getting out CS'd he was also ganked a number of times and a heavy five man push from TongFu left the Wisp pick unable to make an impact on the game.

　　Towards the mid game EE-Sama was forced to pick up an unconventional Maelstrom on the Luna in attempt to clear the pushing lanes faster in order to land better Eclipses however a mistake made by pieliedie saw himself and Luna relocate into five heroes from TongFu resulting in both of them dying and gave momentum to TongFu to go for the final push.

　　Speed Gaming.int put up heavy resistance with Sing Sing netting an ultra kill on the Templar Assassin but was unfortunately picked off shortly after by the Rubick, the team eventually called the GG at 41 minutes marking the end of their run in the G-League.
