Today's replay pick is the anticipated clash between the Invictus Gaming teams, Y and Z respectively who were dominating the Chinese scene of late. It was a tight battle which saw iG.Y gaining an early lead due to the ganking presence of Chuan's Lion. Yet, the closely guarded Anti-Mage thwarted a couple of Sentinel's attempts at killing Zhou which meant that he could bounce back into the game at any time.

After YYF completed his radiance at 22 minutes, it was a matter of which carry(s) pulled through - the Radiance wielding bear or the combo of Anti-Mage and Broodmother. Watch the replay to find out how this all pans out.
