Na'Vi undefeated and Sniper double rampage in DreamLeague's return

posted by Abelle,

DreamLeague Season 8 is back! Last night's two matches kicked off the remainder of EU/CIS League play, which runs now through Nov 16th, when the four EU/CIS teams headed to DreamHack Winter will be finally determined.

The first match of the night was between

Vega Squadron * and

MidOrFeed*. Vega had already played a large number of their matches in the first week of DreamLeague and held a 1-7 record, so they're in need of several wins if they hope to crack the top 4 by the end of League play.

Vega Squadron vs. MidOrFeed

MidOrFeed took the first win of the two-game series.

Troels 'syndereN' Nielsen's Clockwerk was the shining of example of not feeding with a pristine 6/0/24 KDA by the end of the 40 minute game.

Vega's

Sergey 'God' Bragin got off to a fantastic start in Game 2 thanks to a double Rampage at the seven-minute mark. Unfortunately, DreamLeague's production decided to cut to a replay during the moment, so the end of the play can only be viewed in the Picture-in-picture box in the corner of the screen.

With G on a roll so early, Vega were able to snowball and take the second win very quickly.

Natus Vincere vs. Team Empire

Empire are another CIS squad that need to pick up a few wins in order to stay in the running for the Major, but they couldn't get past Na`Vi last night. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Na'Vi haven't played many DreamLeague matches yet remain undefeated after beating Empire 2-0 last night.

As we've already seen numerous times this season, Na`Vi are a very strong team in online events. They've won both the Starladder | i-League Invitational #3 and PGL Open: Bucharest CIS qualifiers but didn't make it very far in either LAN event. So far, it looks like they stand a very good chance at making it into the DreamLeague Major, though they've still got five more matches against mainly very strong teams left to play.
