The mindgames. The decision making. The teamwork. The 1% core. This game between Fnatic and ZeroPanda has it all.
Game two between Fnatic and ZeroGaming was, without any argument, the most intense game of the Heroes World Championship so far.
The teams were evenly matched, and the respect and discipline each team showed the other was apparent. In possibly the most tense late game chess-match we have ever seen in Heroes, both teams were almost trapped by the severity and complexity of their decisions.
With three heroes capable of global movement (E.T.C on ZeroPanda and Falstad + Dehaka from Fnatic) normal rotation strategy was impossible. Both teams were forced to adopt an extremely safe playstyle, with long moments of positioning and posturing that would suddenly explode in intense team fights.
Here are some of the best moments from such an incredible game.
1. Each kill led to immediate action
2. The Dehaka drag to steal the boss
3. Fnatic's impossible escape from impending doom + magically converting it into a kill
5. The E.T.C mind game and core call
