The winning streak at VCT Masters Shanghai continues for Gen.G Esports. And it would be Gen.G who got a good start with three quick rounds in a row. Both teams would split the last four rounds 2-2 to give Fnatic a slight 7-5 lead heading into half-time. But in the last 10 rounds, Gen.G’s offensive strategies came into full effect.
