Alpha X proved to be S-class spoilers in day one of the GTC fall playoffs, knocking out last season's runner-up team Brave Star Gaming alongside Fall 2019 champions Jin Air Green Wings.
RagnaroK was the hero for Alpha X in their first round series against Brave Star Gaming, taking out Scarlett 2-0 and then securing a 1-1 split against ace player Dream to clinch the victory.
Zoun was the key player in Alpha X's massive upset over Jin Air, managing to secure 1-1 splits against both Maru and Trap. Contrary to his cheesy reputation, Zoun actually stole maps off the massively favored Jin Air players in macro-ish games, furthering his reputation as a deadly team league player. Zoun's heroics forced the series to an ace match, where RagnaroK's Hydra-Bane swarm ran rampant over Trap to lock in the shocking result.
Alpha X's third player Nice also made a solid contribution, securing at least one map win in each of the series. All in all, the Golden Dragons got a great collective performance from its three player roster, sending them into the final day of the playoffs.
The GTC playoffs will conclude on Sunday, Oct 11 10:00am GMT (GMT+00:00) with the final two rounds of the playoff gauntlet.
I love how AlphaX supports their players, how smart their picks and preparation are. It's hard to figure them beating both DPG and KaiZi but it would be great!
Wow, super well done by AlphaX. That Ragnarok pick in the ace ! I am sure Jinair, and probably most people thought its going to be Zoun. Hope they can win the whole thing now
