This morning, an abrupt announcement of the tournament set the stage and gathered the top teams all over China together. With a reliable stream and promise of replays, day 1 of the Wuxi International eSports Champions Cup saw four teams emerging top of their groups, in a fashion that was nonetheless contested and almost brutal.

Today's replay pick is the anticipated clash between the Invictus Gaming teams, Y and Z respectively who were dominating the Chinese scene of late. It was a tight battle which saw iG.Y gaining an early lead due to the ganking presence of Chuan's Lion. Yet, the closely guarded Anti-Mage thwarted a couple of Sentinel's attempts at killing Zhou which meant that he could bounce back into the game at any time.
After YYF completed his radiance at 22 minutes, it was a matter of which carry(s) pulled through - the Radiance wielding bear or the combo of Anti-Mage and Broodmother. Watch the replay to find out how this all pans out.
