After a relatively even start to the first game between TnC and Mineski, Mineski seized the lead and appeared to have secured themselves the victory. About 35 minutes in, TnC surged forward and completely took control of the match and turned the game to their favor until they secured the win in an incredible comeback. The second match of back and forth exchanges and leads, Mineski tied up the series with their victory after taking a critical team fight around minute 35. The deciding game laning stage and early game was very even with a slight advantage for Mineski. It wasn’t long for TnC to take control of the situation and retain it until the very end. In just over 30 minutes they convincingly secured themselves the Grand Finals.

A fantastic game by Ryan “Bimbo” Jay Qui on Mirana helped lead them to success. Taring was not about to let go so easily of their dreams and lashed back in the second game. Spectacular performances by Byron Young “Syeonix” Meng Keen on spectre and Ng “YamateH” Wei Poong on CLinkz led the Malaysian squad to an easy victory. Mineski fought back hard in the deciding game and completely overwhelmed Taring in only 30 minutes for the victory.

Dota 2 Mineski to be at ESL One Manila

Dota 2 Mineski at ESL One Manila press conference

In the winter season leading up to the Shanghai Major, Mineski was consistently besting the SEA giants, Fnatic, for the qualifier spots in LANs. They were quickly rising to the top in the region and making an international name for themselves. Unable to lock up any major achievements, the Filipino team experienced some roster changes, welcoming Benhur “Ben” Lawis and Jun “Bok” Kanehara to the mix.

In an effort to grow the local scene and showcase regional talent, a local Filipino Dota 2 team was given their own set of qualifiers for ESL One Manila to determine one team to compete alongside some of the best Dota 2 teams in the world. Mineski was able to best their regional rivals, TnC Gaming, 3:1, in the best-of-five grand finals, seizing the place in the main event for the Philippines.

Mineski roster:
