International Dota 2 game top grid.
In the first match, immediately after the presentation of the participants, analysts, Gabe’s speech and the announcement of HL3 , 2 Chinese teams met-Newbee vs Vici Gaming . The first team managed to go an almost impossible way-from replays for the opportunity to stay in the tournament to victory in the grid of the third phase, which allowed the team to go to the top 6. As for Vici, these guys finished the group stage in the status of leaders, having issued 12-3, and immediately slipped into the top grid.
The first game showed the full power of the newbee running backs, who made it through the minor playoffs — taking a very combative peak, they quickly took over the initiative. With a huge advantage, Newbee had little trouble finishing the game in their favor in less than 15 minutes. Revenge for the group stage took place.
The second card presented us with Ancient Apparition from the Vici Gaming team, which alone contrived absolutely the entire peak of the opponent. The Chinese from Vici Gaming from the very beginning grabbed the advantage of farming in their hands. Although Newbee did much more, It did not help them. 1-1 in the series.
But the third game was somewhat ambiguous. From the beginning, the advantage was slightly on the side of The star-studded newbee roster, but it did not grow much. Growth began just after a series of fights won, which foolishly lost Vici Gaming . However, after trying to go to the highground, the situation changed again — Vici Gaming were able to hold a great fight with all their ultimates. But as soon as they were in cooldown, Newby were able to regain the lost advantage, which eventually turned into a coveted victory. Now the automatic team goes to the top 3 and earns at least $1,032,637 and Vici Gaming fall into the bottom bracket, where they will play with the winner of the pair Na’vi vs Cloud9. Their minimum position remains the same-top 6 and $651,007.
Let’s move on to the most anticipated match of the top grid — the battle of the titans DK vs EG. Evil Geniuses came to the match rested, taking 2nd place in the group stage.
The first game gave us just a great strategy from the Americans — in the second level, Ursa and Enchantress went and killed Roshan, which probably did not read the Chinese. This advantage allowed them to conduct a series of ganks and successful attacks, which only strengthened their superiority. Despite this, the Chinese fine farm that was kompensirovat their military failures. By choosing split-push tactics, Team DK did well, even taking down their opponents. However, in the fight against the three Kerry chances were almost not, so the victory naturally went to the camp of the Americans from EG.
The second game is not set for the stars of China-losing the peak, the Chinese were not even able to somehow compensate for this advantage on the lines, which resulted in a very fast artifacts for mider Americans. Silencer eventually broke the entire combination of the Chinese team, giving ultimates at the time of setting the enemy dome. He also became the number one target for all enemy heroes. Due to the lack of any potential in the battle, the Chinese team was not long able to resist a strong push, going to the bottom of the grid. There Team DK will play with the winners of the pair IG-LGD, which automatically puts them at least in sixth place. The prize is the same — $651,007. As for the Americans, they had to play with the winners of the first pair-Newbee, for the right to reach the Grand final and guarantee a win equivalent to the first place of the past The International 3 . However, in case of defeat, the minimum place that the team will be able to take was the third, which is the equivalent of $1,032,631.
So, the long-awaited duel for a slot in the Grand Final. A game that costs more than $600,000 . And the opponents were teams of completely different fate in the tournament. If Newbee a week ago were considered the main contenders for the flight, now they are the main favorites of the tournament, increasing its minimum prize more than sixteen times! Geniuses also remain in the status of favorites, but will they be able to stop the Chinese DotA machine?
The first match was another push-strategy confrontation against Naga Siren . Having done the work on the mistakes, the Chinese team from the very beginning began to actively press this hero, killing him before the end of the game as many as ten times. Despite the fact that chief Kerry was, to put it mildly, in a bad situation, the Americans were able to constantly impose and win fights, using the fact that their opponents spent all their resources to fight one hero. But the main problem proved kuldauny — without them EG fight could not, even with the emergence of Refresher Orb the situation not strongly has changed. This fact was the reason for the defeat-the Chinese just fought, enticing all ultimates, and then went and banally killed the throne, without meeting any serious resistance.
The second game and at all has passed in one wicket-piknuv roughly a similar peak on the, that was chosen in match against Alliance, Geniuses have made rate on a strong midgeym, until which they corny survive not have been able. The aggressive rush of the Chinese, who also had trumps in Leyte became an insurmountable boundary for the American team. With the outset seizing advantage, Newbee nirazu for entire game not flinched and naturally won second map, assuring itself confident victory 2-0.
So, NewBee go to the Grand final, which automatically means that they have already earned a minimum of $1,464,765-the amount that Alliance received for winning the International 3 . Evil Geniuses remains to wait for their counterparts in the lower grid, content with the fact that they have already earned a very large sum of $1,032,631.
