DAC Playoffs – VG vs. EG finals

Dota 2 Asia Championship

As the fourth day of playoffs for DAC 2015 concludes we had to say goodbye to Big God and Secret. The two teams fought valiantly until the bitter end, but fell just short of the finals. That leaves us with a giant of a match up for the grand finals. A grand final, for the 2nd largest prize pool ever, between Vici Gaming and Evil Geniuses should make any dota lover a bit giddy. Will EG get revenge on VG for knocking them into the loser bracket? Or will Black^, iceiceice, super, fenrir and fy continue dominating the playoffs? Only time will tell. The grand finals will be played Monday, Feb 09 6:00am GMT (GMT+00:00) and no matter to what side you’ve pledged allegiance, this is something you do not want to miss!

Playoffs: Day 4 Bracket

The day started off with two swift and decisive victories for Vici Gaming against Evil Geniuses. By winning this game VG qualified for tomorrow’s grand finals and the opportunity to win 1,2 million dollars. EG, on the other hand, had to fight their way through the lower bracket. They were set to play the winner of BG and Secret. No matter who the winner would be in the end EG would have to perform their best as they lost to both teams in the group stage of the tournament.

In the above mentioned matchup, BG lost a game one that was completely dominated by Team Secret and found themselves with their back against the wall in game two. As is customary when Secret play Radiant these days, they completely controlled the game. So when Secret in game two took an early lead it looked like Big God had fallen. But thanks to some amazing plays Big God managed to turn it around and win the game, despite rOtk seeming to do his best to help Secret win near the end. The celebration was rather short lived though. Both game 1 and 2 took close an hour to complete. In game 3 it seemed like Secret put their foot down and managed to roll over BG in a little over 30 minutes. Even though LaNm made almost every lasso from S4’s batrider result in nothing, as he executed his role perfectly and used nether swap to great effect. Game number two is one of our recommended games of the day, and if you watch only one game today, we guarantee that this one will not disappoint.

With EG and Secret ending at the top of the group stage, the table was set for a matchup of epic proportions. Staying true to their habit, Secret chose to play Radiant in game 1 and 3. During their 15-0 run in the group stage, Secret only played 3 games as Dire. But for once the Radiant pick did not work out for Secret. Instead we got to see Universe show Secret what’s what with his Axe, while Arteezy underperformed playing Medusa. Dota 2 asia championship 2015 final nfl So for game 2 Secret, the team that went 15-0 in the group stage, was one game away from elimination. For any other team in this tournament, third place would have counted as a great finish, but the expectations for Secret were high. As game 2 started PPD said “Anything you can do, I can do better” and picked Medusa for Fear. This Medusa, together with PPD’s Lion, was too strong for Puppey’s men. As the game was at a very tense stage, with EG being 2 barracks up, Secret managed to sneak into the roshpit as Medusa teleported in to damage the last set of barracks. As rosh fell Arteezy tried to TP to defend, but was interrupted by a great blind hook by Universe on clockwerk. Thanks to this the last set of barracks fell and Secret ended up leaving the tournament in third place.

Series of the Day: VG vs. EG

Game 1

VG would opt for a very aggressive lineup game 1. Some early rotations from fy on the Earthshaker and Fenrir on the Skywrath mage would allow them to take control of the map early on and limit EG’s ability to split push with their push oriented lineup. Eventually, however, Furion and Zeus’ combined map presence would begin to pick in, giving EG some space and allowing Fear and Sumail to keep pace in farm with VG’s cores.

Mid game would be a capricious ballet of teamfight after teamfight. While VG had a very strong lineup to get pickups and take fights, EG’s Zeus would allow them to periodically check on VG’s position, clearing the way somewhat for Lycan and Nature’s Prophet to try to split-push. Though VG would lead in net worth, they would unable to be able to convincingly take teamfights. By the time the late game would come around, VG would only have an 8k lead in team net worth. The constant engagements would be very back-and-forth. VG had the potential to output more damage in these teamfights, but EG had more control. However, VG would slowly force EG onto the back foot. By establishing control of the map, VG were able to take rosh often and push out their lanes to deny EG any chances at all to rat. Eventually, VG finished bkbs up on their three core heroes, and close the game with a few good teamfights, taking game 1 of the series.

Game 2

In game 2, EG would go for a lineup more akin to their usual style, putting Fear and Sumail on farming cores, while Aui and ppD would take the roaming supports, while VG would stick to a very aggressive lineup once more. Aui would be put on the roaming Mirana to great effect, and EG would be able to gain a slight edge early on with some repeated pickoffs on the Sniper mid. However, Sumail’s Shadow Fiend mid began to suffer when Skywrath mage rotated into his lane. With Fy’s help, Super was able to easily and repeatedly take him down. Then, to further exacerbate EG’s situation, iceiceice was able to get a hefty amount of exp and gold against the Fear’s solo Lone Druid and would begin ganking on his Clockwerk. Their own offlaner, the Beastmaster, would be not as impactful. Despite their early lead, EG would find their advantage slowly slipping from their grasp.
The mid game would not go so well for EG. VG’s lineup would be well equipped to deal with them in fights. The Clockwerk would isolate and trap a squishy target or two, while the VG’s supports would sit back alongside the Sniper and tear through EG. Despite their best efforts, VG’s powerful ganking and teamfight capabilities would allow them to take pretty much every engagement that game over EG. Though VG and EG’s cores weren’t too far apart in net worth, VG’s position 3-5 heroes would double the net worth of their corresponding roles on EG.

In a well-executed example of early game decision making and rotation on the supports, VG would decisively take the second and final game in this series, moving on to take a spot in the grand finals, while EG drops down to the lower bracket to play the winner of Secret vs BG.
