Upper Bracket preliminaries Escape Gaming vs Alliance

s4 at Manila Major

The first game between coach and his Swedish ‘students’ was heavily in favor of Alliance. Despite Yazied “YapzOr” Jarada playing on Earth Shaker and the team having a Timbersaw, Alliance outplayed the European mix. Gustav “s4” Magnusson had a fantastic game going on Zeus mid while Jonathan “Loda” Berg had a perfect game on Juggernaut.

The second match gave Escape Gaming a chance to comeback. Armed with a powerful Terrorblade played by Adrian “Era” Kryeziu and an incredibly farmed Lone Druid played by Max “qojqva” Bröcker, the Europeans took control and the match to even up the score.

The deciding game was once again all for the Swedes. Having little to no trouble at all securing their victory, thanks to a perfect game by s4 on Earth Spirit and fantastic performance by Loda on Slark the Swedes knocked Escape into the lower brackets.

Upper Bracket preliminaries Fantastic 5 vs Ad Finem

Ad Finem at WePlay LAN

The first match of the series saw Fantastic 5 boasting the Timbersaw and Ad Finem with the Sven. While the first 20 minutes were back and forth, touch and go, the Greek squad took a great team fight and the momentum. Almost losing it once, they were able to maintain their hold for the remainder of the game. Omar “Madara” Dabasas’s Sven ended with a 24:4:7 score.

The second match was over in only 27 minutes and Ad Finem never gave the CIS squad a chance to make any impact in the game. Dmitris “ThuG” Plivouris’s invoker and Madara’s Slark was flawless. The Greek squad completely shut down their opponents and knocked them into the lower brackets.

Lower Bracket Round 1 Escape Gaming vs Fantastic Five

YapzOr

The first match of the series was heavily one sided in favor of Fantastic Five and over in just over 20 minutes. Stanislav “BzzIsPerfect” Glushan had an exceptional and flawless game on Death Prophet and the Chaos Knight-Io combo proved to be too much for the European mix to handle.

The second match took just over one hour to complete – lasting 67 minutes. Fantastic Five went with a medusa pick, but Maurice “KheZu” Gutmann’s Timbersaw was just outstanding and dominated the match. With Escape playing well in the early game gave F5 no chance at all to gain any traction. The European victory forced a deciding third match.

The third match seemed like Escape had baited Fantastic Five into the Beastmaster pick and they also picked up a Medusa – two heros which didn’t work well for them last game. As with their last success, Escape picked up the Timbersaw for KheZu once again which he dominated on and gave qojqva the Invoker which he played flawlessly on, ending with a 12:0:6 score. Escape took the game with ease and eliminated Fantastic Five.
