OG choose Na'Vi. TNC matched with Virtus Pro
OG, who finished top of the 9 team groupstage, won convincingly against Na'Vi in the bo1 round-robin so their choice to face the CIS team again in the semis makes a lot of sense. Na'Vi were beaten badly by Roman 'Resolut1on' Fominok's Morphling, a hero TNC's Marc Polo Luis 'Raven' Fausto also used to great effect to beat EHOME.

The other two playoff finalists are Virtus.pro, who OG lost to in the groupstage, and TNC Predator who gave OG a really hard game despite ultimately being defeated. It's important to note that Virtus Pro are competing with their coach Ivan 'Artstyle' Antonov at the MDL Macau Minor after captain Aleksey 'Solo' Berezin decided to take a break until 2018.
It is the first time OG have made it to the final 4 on the Pro Circuit since it began in September and the single elimination bracket means they are just 1 win away from a Grand Finals.
Despite 3 of the 9 teams coming from China, including 2 of the direct invites, there are no Chinese representatives in the final four. Direct invite PSG.LGD finished dead last with Is GG* in the groupstage and LGD.Forever Young along with EHOME ended joint 5th. EHOME had ended day 1 undefeated but come day 2 they were fighting for survival in their match against TNC.
