So it was Chinas VGJ.Thunder who won the Galaxy Battles II, they defeated Evil Geniuses. I was not able to watch live but I have loads of free tickets given to me by a friend. I heard TNC Pro was eliminated by Team Spirit and yeah its not 1 Million USD, it's 500 Thousand USD which is not bad. Low audience turn out I heard. Not sure why, is it because only a few team competed?
No, it's because Valve removed their support to this tournament and there's no DPC points for this tourney. That's why there are 8 teams that also withdrew their participation considering the prize is still high. Those top tier teams are all for the points and they have other priorities and there's a conflict of schedule.
