The Matchup

Thursday's second upper bracket semifinal pairs the two Group A survivors who were not supposed to be here this deep. GamerLegion finished second in Group A at 3-1 and OG finished third at 2-2, and both won three-game quarterfinals on Wednesday: OG beat Team Spirit, the champions from The International, and GamerLegion beat LEGION.

The winner reaches the upper bracket final on October 31. The loser drops into the lower bracket. It is a best of three, played online, and the teams have already met at this event.

GamerLegion won the group meeting on Monday in three games, losing a 61-minute opener and then taking the next two. Both teams start the fives they have used all event. For OG, that is Natsumi, Topson, SSS, OneJey and skem. For GamerLegion, it is Yuma, RCY, Fayde, Bignum and Speeed.

Key Factors

GamerLegion's win on Monday was an adjustment win, and Wednesday showed the same habit. Yuma was the best player in that series, at 35 kills, 9 deaths and 34 assists across the three games, and RCY added 32 kills and 34 assists while dying only 8 times as GamerLegion took control of the series after the opener.

Against LEGION in the quarterfinal they lost the first game again, this time while leading it in kills, and then closed the series with wins by kill margins of 34-11 and 47-16. Yuma totaled 29 kills, 7 deaths and 28 assists in that series and RCY went 26 kills, 7 deaths and 38 assists. That is the profile of a team whose second and third games are its best, which is exactly what a long semifinal turns on.

The honest counterpoint is OG's quarterfinal, which was the single best result any team produced on Wednesday. OG lost the first game to Team Spirit by 11-43 in kills and then outscored the champions 47-21 and 40-18 to win the series. SSS totaled 34 kills, 12 deaths and 29 assists across the three games and Topson added 25 kills and 42 assists, and a mid and offlane pair playing at that level can take over a semifinal on its own. If OG open Thursday the way they closed Wednesday, the group meeting stops mattering.

What keeps this a lean rather than a stronger play is OG's volatility. OG have been blown out and brilliant inside the same week, while GamerLegion's week has one note: lose a game, adjust, win the series. GamerLegion have the higher seed, the head-to-head win from Monday and the steadier series shape. OG have the higher recent peak. Over three games, the steadier shape is the side we want, by a little.
