Virtus.pro defeats Mineski and advances to the next round of TI8

Match against OpTic Gaming coming up next.

The first game started off with a first blood in favor of Virtus.pro. The early game did not result in a major lead for any of the teams. The first Roshan was claimed by Virtus.pro. Utilizing their advantage to the furthest, our team sent all Mineski's heroes respawning on the 30-minute mark. After that, Virtus.pro started repeatedly launching attacks on the enemy's highground, but Mineski's defense was successful at first. Only after the 50th minute Virtus.pro managed to convincingly end two team fights in a row and close out the game.

The first game's early was under VP's total control. The first Roshan was slain as early as at 13th minute by our team. 10 minutes later, Mineski lost another battle and were forced to give up the second Roshan, as well. The following fight allowed VP to demolish opponents' top- and botlane barracks. After a short and fruitless defense, Mineski conceded – 2:0.
