Fengyun Hegemony Battle



This Fengyun tournament has flown below the radar for nearly two months as pro-am teams battle each other for smaller prizes and qualification. But for its final act, Fengyun has brought in China's A-List teams and various other powerhouses in a 16 team single elimination tournament with 80000 RMB in total prizes. A bit lacking on overseas exposure, the tournament may again suffer from lack of English commentary. However, the competition is not to be belittle as China's top five, iG, LGD, VG, Tongfu, and DK, will stand against all opposition. Also embroiled in the battle for domination are visiting Speed.int and SEA's Titan. Adding to the intrigue, Fengyun is inviting two Korean teams and two other SEA teams, and filling out the tournament with five up and coming Chinese teams.
