DNA-SK vs Wizz-RevDNA-SK (Scourge) : Syllabear , Warlock , Zeus , Sandking , Akasha
Wizz- Rev (Sent) : Necrolyte , Vengeful , Viper , Chen , Sven
This is the quarterfinal match between the SMM National Champions against the reigning WCG champions. It is interesting to note that Wizz is also the runnerup at the SMM Championships. Since that eventful final few months ago , both teams meet again each has a point to prove. Wizz came with a make-shift team with combined members from the WCg runner-up team Wizz 2 as some members from both teams cant make it. SK came into its first tournament with new acquisition Nataku which has proved himself to be one of the best soloers around replacing Angel who is busy with his studies at the moment.
The early stages of the game was marked with a ward war between both teams as SK warded every creep spot to prevent Chen from getting his creeps early on while Wizz-Rev get Sentries to destroy the wards instead . This ward battle at bottom lane goes back and forth and its a nice battle to see.
Syllabear at top lane faced a slight problem soloing against Necro and Vs as it dies a few times there. The Sven and Chen and bottom lane also cant do much against the trio of Akasha , Zeus and SK. The middle lane battle is evenly matched pitting Warlock against Viper.
The teams were evenly matched almost all game. Displaying some nice teamwork and support power. By the 40th min , Akasha has its Skadi , Bear has its Radiance , Warlock has Midas and Euls , Necro got its Diffusal and Heart , Sven got its Bkb. The real battle begins from there on. With pushes and counter pushes marks the intensity of the game. A few items bought by both teams determines the game. Wizz opted for a mass BKB strat while SK's Zeus , Warlock's blink dagger strat and Bear's aegis proves to be a smarter choice.
The turning point in the game comes at the 3 min battle for Scourge's second mid tower. A force push by Rev goes horribly wrong as SK managed to hold off the push with Akasha's time wasting technique a good one to watch and in turn killed all of them in one clash. Another failed force push by Rev at the 5th min after the hour mark enabled SK to swiftly respond by doing a counter push into Rev's top lane. This push destroyed one of Rev's top rax and tipped the scales heavilly into SK's favour. Akasha then got its Rapier and SK start pushing bottom. Surprisingly , Rev did not put up much of a fight and the bottom 2 raxes got destroyed while Zeus got its BEYOND GODLIKE kill along the way. Game ended at 1:14 after SK destroyed all of Rev's raxes and Akasha picking up a BEYOND GODLIKE kill before game ends.
The score board does not represent the intensity of the game. Both teams showed why they are so highly regarded as one of the best teams around. Although far from full strength , both teams put up a great battle for all the fans to see . Nice game!
Final Score : 38-15
