The end of the week was marked not only the long-awaited grand finale of World Cyber Games, but the tournament for DotA II. And because of this latest e-sports fans and pricked up his ears. In Kiev Cybersport Arena was attended by top European teams - they were attracted quite worthy twenty thousand dollars total prize fund.
DotA 2 Star Championship visited the Germans Mousesports, Hungarians Lick the Click and the French Team Shakira. The strongest team in Europe, Natus Vincere, again and again acted in the familiar role of chief favorite. In the back of her this time the Russians were breathing from The Retry, the new composition of Moscow Five and five Ukrainian eSahara. Of course, one could not be dismissed and experienced French.
The organizers wish to tournament was as follows: two group stages, and after - the game Shootout (Single Elimination best of three). Sixteen participating teams are packed into four baskets and had a draw.
In group A (Natus Vincere, The Retry, Fos Style, 3D) it was just like rakes. Na'Vi easily outstripped all rivals, and in the wake of them ran The Retry. Group B (Team Shakira, eSahara, GZ, PD) also won the Ukrainians - at home, to see, and walls help. ElectronicSahara ahead of the French on one body, and those came from second place.
Group C were only three teams (Lick the Click, PowerRangers, STF). STF played the worst and took off with the tournament. Serious fighting failed in D (Mousesports, M5, IV'AN, Jamais Vu). The team Yaroslav Kuznetsov (NS) won his seat, while the Germans lost the final championship.
In a word, dropped out the first day of the weakest, but the intrigue remains.
The second group stage was played the next day, and there are already promised to be much more interesting. The first group were Lick the Click, Mousesports, Team Shakira and The Retry. As often happens, the three teams scored an equal number of points - six, and the output is not only claimed the Hungarians, produvshie all their matches. In a parallel group (eSahara, MoscowFive, Na'Vi, PowerRangers) «Belarusian Rangers", following the example of the Hungarians, yielded to anyone who could. The group winners went directly to the semifinals, while the remaining teams had to play the quarterfinals.
Quarterfinal stage of the Russian-Ukrainian overcame halophyte The Retry and Na'Vi. Serious resistance they met and unanimously won eSahara and Team Shakira, respectively - 2-0. French manager was boiling, the kettle, because of the weak-willed destruction of their wards. Though, probably, not only because of this. He looks like a scary sight of the hero Zeus, and the participants did not miss the snide pozuboskalit case.
The first semi-final brought Russian team M5 and The Retry. Especially acute confrontation gave that Capt. TR, Vladimir Anosov (PGG), until recently headed the M5.
In the first game M5 choose Doom, Enigma, Tide, Venge, and Lich, and PGG prefer Omni, Veno, Rhasta, WR, and Viper. Thanks to Sergei Bragin (GoD), who showered kill'om triple to right and left for twenty minutes already disastrously behind TR - 15:2. That's really really «Unstoppable»! M5 repeatedly pulled down the tower next opponent and walked confidently to victory in the first match.
For thirty minutes, the patient was already more dead than alive: TR lost the barracks and the third tower on the bottom line, and the bill for murder was 31:6 in favor of the "Moscow five." Resist further made no sense. The Retry, acknowledging defeat, wrote «ggwp» («good game, well played»).
Before starting the second game made a long TR council of war, and he was clearly not sterile. Though the team and gave way to almost the entire second game, but in the end, surprisingly, even the account.
Name is the first finalist was to determine the third game. M5 "make a sound» Broodmother, SK, Wind Runner, WD and ES, and The Retry - Tide, Enigma, Slardar, Mirana and Dazzle. First blood was taken decisive match for Tide and for the company soon died, and Enigma. But, having some advantage in the early stages, M5 failed to properly dispose of them, and the game gradually leveled off. The thirty third minute, the score was 12:8 in favor of the "Moscow five."
All agreed to a fight near Roshan, where TR managed to exchange the benefit (Mirana did ultrakill). Wards Vladimir Anosov developed their success and the fifty-third minute, killed all the enemy heroes on the bottom line. Defensive line M5 was destroyed. Excellent "kambek" from The Retry - and now they are the first finalists of the tournament.
The second semi-final - Natus Vincere against Mousesports - turned out to be less colorful. The Germans have lost in the trash in two games and went to rip out his teeth in third place. But Moscow Five teeth were sharper, and the bronze went to them.
TR appearance in the finals for many was a surprise. That's why Natus Vincere predicted an easy victory in the class. ESWC champions in 2011, according to most viewers "simply could not lose."
But the first game made fans Na'Vi begin to twitch. The Russians took the initiative to move into their own hands, and the twenty-fifth minute, won with a score of 15:6. Twelve minutes later, they have full control of the card (18:9 in their favor). To win, just needed a good final "push" and he did not wait - PGG and his team are killed in the "Middle" of all the heroes of the opponent, opened a general 1-0.
Next Na'Vi «banned» Lich, Mirana, Enigma and Vengeful Spirit. A PGG ESWC 2011 champions forbidden to take Chen, Furion, Sand King and Slardar. This time the game was dictated Na'Vi - they dominated on all fronts. The Russians fought back up to the thirty-second minute, but after losing the bottom line, and with it, "Weaver" and "balanara" were forced to surrender. And the score was 1-1.
Again, all decided the third match. It started with a mini-scandal - the player is "Born to Win" Daniel Ishutin (Dendi) inadvertently bought the recipe for the chicken instead of the usual flying. Na'Vi immediately out of the game and asked to do a remake. Chief Justice of the tournament v1lat'u their feint ears do not like, and he called it swinishness.
