CN Ascension 2025 Group A: Xi Lai Gaming vs ZY Gaming

Matchup Summary: Having both suffered convincing losses to Rare Atom, it is time to decide who will move on to playoffs as the definite second strongest team in the group. In my eyes, XLG has a good chance of winning this series. Despite the massive deficit they suffered against RA, I feel like they did a lot of things right and that the things they need to touch up on aren't too many (I could be wrong I just feel that way). As for ZYG, I think that they definitely stand a chance at winning but I feel like they're less structured and play less like a team in comparison to ZYG. They've got some shooters though!

XLG PtW: Rarga has been a player who has been consistent in his ability to perform well.

ZYG PtW: Everyone shoots well on this team but I think F1cio, B1SK, and slowly stand out.

Prediction: XLG 2-1 win to make playoff
