The last game of the elimination series delivered incredible games and thrilling moments.

Newbee took the first game, which put an end to Team Liquid’s flawless sweep through the lower brackets. Team Liquid played some terrific Dota and overpowered the Chinese qualified team in the last two games, seeing Newbee eliminated.

Team Liquid had taken second place at the Shanghai Major and now will look to take their first Dota 2 Major championship title.

Only three teams have advanced to the Dota 2 Majors so far – OG, Team Liquid and Team Secret. The Frankfurt Major saw OG vs Team Secret, Shanghai Major featured Team Secret vs Team Liquid and now Manila Major will display OG vs Team Liquid.

In the first game, Newbee had established the tempo and control from the start and never let it go. In 31 minutes the team had secured their win with a Beyond GODLIKE streak for Chen “Hao” Zhihao on Juggernaut and Wong “ChuaN” Hock Chuan had a perfect game on his signature Enchantress.

The second match Team Liquid went with a very greedy lineup that ended up paying off in the end for them. Team Liquid started off the the lead, which slipped away from then at minute 20 when Newbee brought the game back to even. Eight minutes later the Europeans once again seized the control of the game and would hold on to it until the end. Ivan “MinD_ContRoL” Borislavov had an amazing game on Weaver with a fantastic performance by Lasse “MATUMBAMAN” Urpalainen on Lycan. Their victory tied up the series and forced a deciding third game.

The deciding game of the series Team Liquid went with a Drow start and Medusa for Adrian “FATA-“ Trinks – the first time he played the hero in an official match. The game started out to be a real nail-biter. While Newbee had a slight edge and advantage overall, the trade offs, exchanges and pace was thrilling and relatively even. Around 32 minutes in, Team Liquid took a favorable fight then Roshan to started to grab the momentum and lead. Only 8 minutes later Team Liquid seized the victory and the series to go to the Grand Finals.
