CN Ascension 2025 Group A: ZY Gaming vs Xtreme Gaming
ZYG Observations: ZYG played lackluster to my original expectations. However, that is not to say that there were not any positive takeaways. There isn't a lot to talk about when it comes to Lotus. They got thrashed on that map and rightly so, considering how RA was playing. However, Haven was, in my opinion, the map where they started to show some brilliance. They traded well, and individual players such as slowly got to have great hero moments. Regardless, they lost both maps, and I feel like teamwork after getting the plant down is one of the main aspects of the tactics they have to work on.
XG Observations: To be honest, the only player I knew from XG was QiuYe, and he never stood out to me as anything special. Regardless, they played quite well on Bind against XLG, even managing to win the map. I won't go as far to say that they're favorites for this series but they're definitely not as bad as many might've imagined.
ZYG PtW: slowly. B1sk was who I was looking forward to before the match but I feel like he's not gelling well enough to pull off what he did in Spain.
XG PtW: I don't know much about the players but QiuYe seems to still be cooking just fine.
Prediction: 2-1 win for ZYG with at least one thrashing.
