With exceptional skill, coordination and synergy both teams will continue to be a force to be reckoned with through the upcoming season. Unfortunately, only one team was able to advance further and continue to rise in an attempt to reach the pinnacle status.

The first day of DotaPit LAN finals ended in the early hours of the morning today, witnessing Team Empire eliminated by Evil Geniuses. Yesterday, Virtus.Pro’s suffered from an early departure when they were wiped through by compLexity Gaming and OG were bested by MVP.Phoenix 1:2.

The first game started with both teams getting their comfort picks. MVP.Phoenix was able to secure the Nature’s Prophet, a hero they had much success with in the Shanghai Majors and compLexity secured first blood. The game was relatively even, back and forth action and kills with compLexity having a slight lead for most of the time. About 30 minutes into it, MVP.Phoenix were able to start taking control and between Furion and being able to dismantle the Io-Tiny combo, they took the first game with ease.

The second game again saw a slightly favored start for compLexity Gaming. However, this time, by minute 15, the Korean team was able to take the lead and quickly ran away with it to the end. They were able to finish the the series in only 26 minutes with a score of 29:12. Pyo “MP” No-a had an incredible game on Invoker along with Kim “QO” Seon-yeop on Spectre.
