SEATTLE--Alliance simply stomped its class on TNC at the start of their respective TI6 campaigns at the Key Arena on Thursday (Philippine Time).
The 2013 champs started their quest to add the trophy of the 2016 edition of The International to their collection on a super high note as Gustav Magnusson went 17-0 with Storm Spirit to help shut the remaining Filipino club in the tournament in Game 1.
Then it was a total team domination by Alliance in the clincher as they clobbered TNC en route to the 2-0 sweep.
TNC will next face Wings, which became familiar to the Filipino DOTA fans by ruling ESL One last April, later Thursday.
