CLG Red survive Sway scare in Suzhou
CLG Red won their opening match at the NEST Pro Series DIVINA Finals, defeating Sway 2-0.
Despite both maps going in their favor, it was a closer series than the North American ladies would have preferred. Though the match commenced with a dominating 16-3 victory on Train, Inferno was a much loser affair, going to overtime and eventually ending 19-16 in CLG Red's favor.
