After finishing second of SEACL, second of SEACC, no doubts that xGKing are hungry for victory! And Frog Cup might just be the perfect occasion for them to win their first title of 2012! They will face ToT a team that they played in the last week of SEACL, their nemesis FlashToT won't be playing thursday, so it sounds like a perfect plan for xG. Their top scorer are:

The chinese team finished third of SEACL, behind xG and aLt but they had proven that they are able to make great results along this season. Al thought most of their players are not well-known yet in SEA, they have the potential to take down xG and access to the final of the Frog Cup. Their leader, JerryToT, have shown impressive record.

I wanna say xGKing 5-0 but i don't know the ToT guys nearly as well so it is an incredibly biased prediction, however i dont see light iaguz or jaz losing their series so i think xGKing either way.
Congratulations to all the teams for the effort tonight, and Maynarde for his Emo chambers.
xGKing wins 3-1 and will join TA in the grandfinal!
Amazing cast once again , awesome camera/xsplit job from Dox too.
Stay tuned for the announcement of the Grandfinal.
