This match-up starts on Monday, January 21, 2019 – 17:00 UTC+8.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Virtus Pro will seek their revenge over the Evil Geniuses when the two teams do battle in the first match of the Chongqing Major playoffs<\/a> on Monday night.<\/p>\n

The last time these two teams fought it out was in the Lower Brackets Finals of the Kuala Lumpur Major and it was Virtus Pro who prevailed, winning 2-0 after banning Arc Warden in both games.<\/p>\n

The strategy may not be repeated this time around as Arc Warden is not very strong in this meta is yet to be picked in the tournament thus far.<\/p>\n

Arteezy, the carry of Evil Geniuses, only played three different heroes in the group stage. He played Juggernaut four times, Phantom Assassin twice and Terrorblade once.<\/p>\n

Sumail, the position two player from Evil Geniuses, played Shadow Fiend in their first game against Alliance, which was interesting because Shadow Fiend is not a top tier core hero in this patch.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, his item build of rushing Guardian Greaves was questionable, we knew that he played that build for Shadow Fiend a lot of times in his recently ranked game. However, when comes to professional match, Alliance proved to Sumail that this meta is wrong, Shadow Fiend had very less impact in that game because of that as if Evil Geniuses only had 1 core hero which was Juggernaut because Shadow Fiend could not deal much damage to Alliance.<\/p>\n

Virtus Pro performed very well in group stage. They started by losing game one against EHOME because Tian Ming of EHOME punished them with Elder Titan, leaving Virtus Pro had no choice but to surrender because all their cores had no place to farm.<\/p>\n\n\n
