The first games of the HTGN Preseason have been played. Virtus Pro showed their skill again by beating Hit By Train, and Exploit Gaming were able to win versus White Rock Crew.
HTGN, as GosuGamers have recently covered, is starting a regular league soon with some nice cash prizes, and pre season games can be considered as teasers for the upcoming action. All big names are participating in the pro division, and we bring you two games of top teams.
Well known Virtus.Pro, the MYM Pride#6 winner, is facing Hit By Train, who consists of well known IHCS1 players like Fanat1c and Darky-, and the man who is said to be the best host ever - Soth-.
HTGN Pre season: Virtus.Pro versus Hit By Train

Jolie (Viper, mid) shisha2win- (Zeus, bot)
Smile (Ogre Magi, bot) Darky- (PotM, bot)
Sahka (Akasha, bot) Soth- (THD, bot)
HBT starts with a trilane, but leaves Darky- solo QoP quite fast. Sahka goes a fast Necromicon, while Jolie gains lane control mid and manages to farm fast BoTs. Ogre played by Smile roams around the map ganking along with Vigoss Lina. Great game to watch, tons of action, many double and triple kills, Darky- scoring some great stuns, and Vigoss playing an outstanding Slayer. Nearly 70 kills overall in a 50 minute game.
HTGN Preseason: White Rock Crew versus Exploit Gaming

Pretty much one-sided game. Taint gets almost a free farm, grabs an 8 minute Arcane followed by BoTs in 17-18 minutes, then proceeds to gank everything he can with the help of Tinker, played by Gosu. They gain total map control, even heavily under leveled Pugna, who suffered early game due to well played trilane, manages to come back to the game. This game is a must see for everyone who is learning Boush and wants to see a superb Tinker in action.
