The Chinese powerhouse obliterated BOOM Esports in game 1, with Wang “Ame” Chun’s Monkey King slamming down on BOOM hard. Game 2, however, saw BOOM’s aggressive side, with the team picking up multiple unanswered kills in the early game. The second game was a lot closer, with Ame’s Drow Ranger playing catch-up to Souliya “JaCkky” Khoomphetsavong’s Bloodseeker . Yet with powerful map control and well-timed ganks, PSG.LGD tookcontrol of the game. With the momentum in their hands after a successful skirmish in the top lane, PSG.LGD went on to end the game and closed out the series with a sweep.
Evil Geniuses exit the stage

North American team Evil Geniuses also make their exit on the second day of The International 11. The team succumbed to South American team Beastcoast in a 2-0 sweep.
Game 1 saw Artour “Arteezy” Babaev’s iconic Terrorblade go up against Beastcoast. Unforunately, his Terrorblade could not metamorphose into the hyper-carry that EG needed no thanks to Beastcoast consistent safelane ganks. Game 2 was a closer game in terms of kills and gold lead, but crucial mistake after crucial mistake cost EG their chance at staying in TI11.
BOOM Esports and Evil Geniuses were the last remaining teams in their respective regions. Their exit on the TI11 main stage leaves SEA and NA with no representatives to claim the TI11 Aegis.
PSG.LGD and Beastcoast will face off against each other tomorrow, October 22, at 10AM SGT.
