PSG.LGD's uninvited guests

Game 1 of PSG.LGD and Beastcoast was a one of the best at TI11 to say the least. The chinese titans were the favorites heading into the match, however Beastcoast defied the odds. The game started out pretty even, but as soon as 35 minutes hit th ere was constant fighting on both sides. With Beastcoast fighting around Chromospheres while LGD fought around Rolling Thunder and Tombstone. After Beastcoast secured mega creeps, the game was thought to be over.

But in a amazing team fight from PSG.LGD around the mid river, they wiped the farmed Faceless Void on Beastcoast. In most cases, especially after getting mega creep-ed, teams run down mid to even the disadvantage. But the issue was there were creeps already hitting the ancient of PSG.LGD, and Beastcoast capialized on the siege. In the hypest moment of game 1, Beastcoast rushed to PSG.LGD's base and ended game 1.

Faith Bian's Axe dunks on Beastcoast in game 2 at TI11

Game 2 of the Beastcoast and PSG.LGD TI11 lower bracket series introduced a Axe pick to the surprise of casters and analysts alike. However the pick wasn't situation based and was planned. According to PSG.LGD's coach, the pick is Faith Bian's best hero. Coach Xiao8 was not wrong one bit as Faith Bian's Axe ran rampant during game 2. With a 10 minute blink dagger, he shut down both K1 and Chris Luck and won PSG.LGD game 2.
