Super Finals Summary | |
Game 1: After losing towers early on in the game, MYM managed to pull off a win thanks to the Spectre carry who delivered them from GGNet's wrath and also to some great late-game team fights against GGNet's undying spirit and great synergy. | |
Game 2: GGNet's picks probably missed a special "something" as it was not enough to save them from MYM's push strat featuring great tanking ability and pushing power coming from Syllabear, Bristleback and Pugna who were able to pull off yet another win despite great defence and skillworks from GGNet. A replay worth watching. | |
Game 3: MYM chose another gank, push strategy, featuring Beast Master, Chen among others. MYM raced away to victory by claiming early towers, allowing them to finish it off with a flawless 3-1 victory over GGNet. | |
