The two best Dota 2 teams in China battled in the upper bracket of the DreamLeague Leipzig Major today. Vici Gaming and Invictus Gaming each took a crushing defeat in the first two games before a closer third game in which VG eventually prevailed.

VG and IG took second and third place respectively in the previous Major tournament at the MDL Chengdu Major. The two teams didn’t play each other in that tournament, however. This series represents the two rosters’ first clash in a Dota Pro Circuit tournament. VG and IG have met previously in the China Dota 2 Professional League season one and the qualifiers for the Leipzig Major, with VG winning 4-0.

With today’s 2-1 win, VG move forward to face Evil Geniuses in the next round of the competition while confirming a top-six placing at the event. The Chinese powerhouse are also guaranteed $60,000 and 900 Dota Pro Circuit points. IG drop down to the lower bracket and will no longer have the luxury of a second life.
