Playtime 10 recap





Viewers watching WPC-ACE League this week were treated to a series of upset stemming from DK versus Vici Gaming. Both games were rather one-sided with DK winning the first and Vici Gaming winning the second. DK dominated most of game one with Yee Fung 'Mushi' Chai's Night Stalker terrorizing every lanes and Vici Gaming just did not have enough firepower to take down the vampire with magic immunity on. In the second game, the MVP of the first game was not at his best as he was caught wandering alone as Nyx Assassin and was picked off several times in a row, causing DK to lose team fights. Vici Gaming took game two with ease and as a result, over 5,700 branches were burnt while we are sure, many more rares were lost. (VODs)

Luckily for DK, they are still far ahead in the standings because their second closest competitor Invictus Gaming, surprisingly, lost both their games against seventh placer LGD International. LGD.Int's performance in their opening games of round two was a real shocker as they rolled over iG in 34 minutes, with a score of 32-9 in game one. LGD.Int, or more specifically Rasmus 'Misery' Filipsen's Crystal Maiden, got off to a good start in game two and he was able to farm up a Midas alongside Scythe of Vyse and Black King Bar a little later on. By mid-game, LGD.Int controlled a big portion of the map and with three Midas up on their team, iG could not muster up enough farm to contest LGD.Int's final push at 36 minutes. With the loss, iG dropped to second place while LGD.Int is one step closer to making top six with 13 points. (VODs)

If both the matches above did not give your branches and rares a run for their money, RisingStars versus Cupid's Heart definitely will. After their horrible run in the first round of the tournament, Cupid's Heart mounted a commanding gold and experience lead over Rstars in game one but despite that, they were rather passive and refused to push high ground. In the end, Cupid's Alchemist bought some bizarre set of items including Butterfly, Manta Style and Sange & Yasha to slow siege but that did not pan out well with the high nuking power of Rstars. Many attempts later, Cupid's Heart ran uphill frantically and was finally able to end the supposed easy game around the 50 minutes mark. Game two however, was not as exciting as the first. The end score is 1-1. (draft information)

To seal off the playtime's report, TongFu and LGD.cn both retained their third and fourth placing in the league with a tie while Rattlesnake remain in eighth place after defeating last placer, Team Adidas. Team Adidas is still struggling to find a victory so far in WPC-ACE League.
