Latest updates. Autosurf won their match against former Enet, Elites. This is actually a match that has been anticipated for the tourney where everyone will finally have a look at AutoSurf-DH formed by former Enet player, Odin against his old comrades. AutoSurf with fellow old timer such as Mookie, Chobo and Odin outplayed Elites and won this quater final match.

While another exciting match that has been completed is the match with current defending champion of SMM against the champion of Malaysia in WCG Wizz Rev. Note that Wizz Rev is a combination of their first team and second team. With the new participation of former BZ2 attacker, Nataku. It seems that DNA-SK doesnt have to worry about lack of firepower when Battle Angel decided to skip this tourney to concentrate on his SPM examination. The match ended with DNA-SK won against Wizz Rev. Seems like they still remain the hot favourite for this tourney.

Cybertime which played against MKVL barely had any difficulties in this match as they dominate the game since the beginning. After Sven and QOP got buffed, they decided to go for the push and won the match when MKVL fail to defend against all the buff heroes that is follow by an army of Neutrals microed by Chen.

Finally the match between GS and GF of Seremban and the situation actually looks quite bad for GF where their Sven used up all his Aegis and cant find any way to push into the opponent base. GS maintained their threat by consercutive push one after another. GF finally decided to go directly for the throne when Viper, QOP got their aegis. After 2 attempts they finally broke the Sentinel's tree although GS put up a good fight to defend against them.

Next will be the Semi final between Cybertime vs GF and DNA-SK against Autosurf DH.

More updates coming soon.

Final is between Autosurf DH and Cybertime. Go go go, match starts in 5 minutes

First of all, I would like to thank all the teams that participated in this tourney, without your support, this tourney will not be a success. The tourney runs smoothly throughout the day, not mentioning few unwanted fatal errors that occured =P.

Although this is just a mini tournament, but we received tremendous support by all the teams around KL and some even came as far as Penang, Ipoh and Seremban. So once again, I would like to thank team NetCity and team GF for their support. Hope that you guys can participate again in our next tourney early of next year.

Second, I wanted to clarify that why certains bracket looks harder and why some dont. All the brackets are drawn randomly but there's some adjustment made. Notice that bracket 2 has mostly unknown team in it and this is due to the organizer's idea to let those minor teams in our dota community to have fairer chance to reach the semi final. Just imagine that if your team that is quite new has to face Wizz or DNA-SK in the first round of the tourney and in the round of 16 only those major sponsored teams got through, what would you think? We try to let these teams to have better chances to play with.

Actually, saying that Cybertime has a easier bracket is just not true. We actually sponsored two teams in this tourney and this 2 teams will be separated in different brackets to be fair. This is our policy of handling tournament where most of the CC that sponsored 2 teams such as DNA-SK, AutoSurf, Wizz will be separated so that if they will meet each other, that would only happened either in Semi-Final or Final.

I don't see that Cybertime actually has easier bracket. Although Cybertime X is actually having a harder time facing those famous team comparing with another Cybertime team. The team that got champion is actually placed together with DNA-SKz, Winternight, MKVL1 and Autosurf. Although there are no big names such as Elites, Wizz and SK in it, but these opponent strength should not be underestimated since there are all very experienced teams. Maybe it happens that suddenly team Winternight withdraw from the tourney at last minutes so some people seems to think Cybertime is having a easier route.

I hope that everyone can be satisfied and happy with my explanation here as I dont want to go around and offends all the team that has supported us for this tourney. All we want to do is to promote our Dota community as well as our new branch. We will accept your opinions and we hope that the next tournament will be a success as well. Cheers

Haha, Chillz taiko. Today just finish tourney, everybody are damn worn out already. After we collect, edit and zip it, we will post it A.S.A.P

I have to agree that the toughest match for Cybertime in their route to final is against Autosurf Fun. Can't make much comment though since I m from Cybertime too, people might think my comment is biassed. So I try to enlight people a little here,lolz

Autosurf came out with early AOE heroes such as Warlock, Jakiro, Chen, Vengeful Spirit and Venomacer. While Cybertime came out with QOP, Sand King, Viper, Lich and Zeus.

Auto decided to use the more traditional yet widely proven strong combination of VS plus Chen at the top lane meeting up with Lich and Sand King. While in middle lane is the battle of solo heroes, Viper against Warlock and bottom lane is Jakiro with Venomacer against QOP and Zeus. Obviously that AutoSurf strats is to try and get early kills with their nuking mage skills and this is true when QOP and Zeus actually had a very hard time dealing with Jakiro and Venomacer due to both of their AOE Poison Nova and Macropyre. Note that Jakiro alone actually can due huge damage to the opponents due to his dual breath and ice path that is very useful in pressing opponent heroes.

While in mid lane, Viper first item is a Vanguard and this prooves fatal for him as he is encountaring a bunch of int heroes where Vanguard doesnt come useful for him due to all the nuking skills. In the solo battle, Warlock got the upperhand in it and this is rather costly for team Cybertime as Warlock got very buffed later on in the game. He manage to farm his refresher orb and they start pushing quite early in the game.

While at the top lane, the combination of Lich and Sand King is not any threat to VS and Chen since Chen has already found an army of neutrals to protect and kill for them. Forcefully, SK manage to farm his dagger while Lich does has a difficult time to come up even with a single Mekanism. In the other hand, VS got his aegis pretty easily and Chen also came out with his Meka since SK and Lich decided to forgone the lane and move to other lanes to execute some ganks rather than staying there doing nothing helplessly.

Although VS came out with his Aegis preety fast but it deemed useless since Cybertime always try to catch him offguard or try to aim VS first to waste his aegis shot so in the middle of them game when none of the push was successful, VS had already finished up all his remaining shot. Middle game is a torture to team Cybertime where Warlock double Inferno totally own. Note that Warlock already had BKB and Refresher Orb that time( and maybe BOT as well)

But Team Cybertime after facing this kind of strategy for a few times they manage to buy the right item. Zeus manage to get the first diffusal Diffusal Blade and this reduced half the firepower of Warlock. QOP instead of farming his usual Eye Of Skadi, he came out with Aegis first then Eul and this is one of the decisive factor of the match. Each time the battle engaged, its quite balance where each team will got 2 of their heroes killed, but since QOP got his aegis and manage to survive due to its armor, he quickly recharge and then came out and hunt the remaining heroes down while Viper farm his Radience after the BKB and Vanguard he got.

Cybertime kept playing defend and counter strategy. When the time SK got the team 2nd diffusal blade, and Viper got his Radience, the situation has a complete turnover where when the battle is actually won by Cybertime and they manage to become the first to take down the opponents barracks. By this time, all the heroes other than VS ( Aegis SNY) and Warlock ( BOT, Soul Booster, BKB, Refresher ORB) is already no match for the buffed QOP and Viper. Team Cybertime direct go for the Throne and won the match although team Auto managed to put up quite a fight to defend their throne ( they even triple kill team Cybertime)

In my opinion, team Autosurf didnt made any mistake, their strat is to push earlier and when team Cybertime managed to defend, this is costly to them since they actually dont have any end game heroes in their line up to fight with Viper and QOP. Anyhow, Team Autosurf Fun is sure the toughest opponent met during this tourney. Good game indeed. Cheers

When a game have to reload from the previous saved game, the replays cannot be retrieve. Too bad, it was a nice game.
