Lions are immune

Recent ASUS Cup champions, Lions, have breezed through the Australian representative, Immunity, in the opening match of the MSI Beat IT finals.

The matches took long to kick-off, yet once they started, Swedish side, Lions, eagerly pursued a quick victory against Immunity.

Even with some minor technical issues spread throughout the match, Lions closed the overall situation at 16-2, on dust2. 

Starting off as Terrorists, the Swedes bagged the initial pistol round, followed by an additional number of five rounds. The Australians sought a comeback, yet without any luck, with half-time score closed at 13-2 for their adversaries.

Switching sides, the situation didn't turn around at all with Lions bagging the first three rounds and successfully closing their first match with a crushing 16-2 victory.

Broken tag

The Swedes have easily claimed some valuable points in a group where, with the likes of WMF and EG present, every wrong move can be costly.

An additional inter-continental group A match is unfolding as we speak, between EG and wNv, meanwhile WMF is still on hold due to reasons previously reported. Stay tuned with us for the latest updates from Beijing, China.

"Even with some minor technical issues spread throughout the match, Lions closed the overall situation at 16-2, on dust2." Yeah whoever wrote this article is clearly a chinese MSI sponsor. Go fuck yourself you piece of scum bastard. Do you call a lag-out every three rounds, sluggy PC's and a 4 hour tournament delay 'minor technical issues' these days? I'd hate to see what you call a real problem. To the author of this article, HANCHU, all Australians would like to give you a big warm "Go fuck yourself". Cheers

im at the event, it is plagued with problems, but the admins are trying there best. Lions were the better team but the PC problems made the score a lot worse than it was. only 1 match has been played so far .... :(
