Spoiler Alert

This news included the result yesterday, please skip it if you don’t want to get spoiled.

Yesteday, the Group A of 2020 Chinese New Year Cup was completed and we had a big upset!

Before the games, we believe most of the audiences would think that TH000 and Romantic would beat Lawliet and Soin. However, TH000 was the first player who get eliminated in the tournament, and in the end, Soin defeated Romantic in the Loser Brackets finals, advanced to the Playoffs with Lawliet.

For today, Group C will start playing at 12:00 CET with Infi, Yumiko, Fly100% and Colorful. And tomorrow, we will see Sok, Moon, WFZ and FoCuS. Let’s see who will advance and be able to play in the Playoffs at last.
