MarsTV Dota 2 League Semifinals
ViCi Gaming vs. Team Empire
ViCi Gaming easily took the first game in the best-of-three series, as everyone on Team Empire was struggling pretty hard, except for Airat “Silent” Gazievon’s Slardar with an 11-3 score. Empire was not ready to give up so easily and in the second game Chen Zhihao Hao’s Juggernaut did not make as much of an impact, going 0-7. Empire answered back with a win to even out the series and managed to destroy ViCi Gaming in the third game. The Russians seized a spot in the Grand Finals, pushing the Chinese giants into the third place decider match.
Team Secret vs. Cloud 9
Team Secret swept through Cloud 9, 2:0, in the semifinals. The first game was pretty one-sided for Team Secret and they were able to finish it off in only 30 minutes. In the second game, Cloud 9 was dominating, but after some poor choices and questionable item builds, they ended up throwing the game away as Team Secret was able to capitalize on them and turn the game to their advantage. Team Secret will advance to the Grand Finals to face Team Empire and Cloud 9 will move into the third place deciding match versus ViCi Gaming.
