This is the first tournament after MI2 and Zenith showed their skills to the Malaysian scene in a pulsating Zion net Dota tourney. Teams will surely have improved since then. Looking forward to see some great improvements in terms of skill and drafts. With inclusion of the 2 new heroes in drafts , better gameplay is expected from the top teams sucj as Cybertime , SK , Elites , Wizz and Winternight.

Hope we get updates here from the organisers as the other thread seems full of pre tourney info =)

Finally finished class , and what a shocker of results. Autosurf the new boys of competitive Dota really pulled off some nice frags here elminating Elites and SK enroute to finals.

The team from Seremban reached the semifinals , good job to you guys. Hope you guys can make something out of the match against SK for third place =).

I do heard some players noticing that Cybertime do have a relatively easy bracket compared to other teams . But maybe it is just coincidence , hehe

Nice work done by Odin , recruiting Chobo and Mookie to your team and bring Autosurf into the realms of strong team .

Hope the replays will be posted up soon.

Cybertime vs Autosurf-Fun

Cybertime (Sent) : Akasha , Viper , Lich , Sandking , Zeus
Auto-Fun(Scourge) : Warlock , Chen , Twin Head Dragon , Vengeful , Venomancer

This is the second round match which Cybertime dubbed as the toughest match of their campaign.Sk and Lich vs Chena and Vengeful top , Zeus and Akasha come up against Veno and THd bottom while Viper soloed Warlock at mid. Early game was quite even in terms of kills where both sides score some nice kills over each other. Sandking got dagger by level 7 , THd opting for Dual Breath and stats which i think is not wise as it forgoes Ice Path which would ultimately cost Auto-Fun later.

A battle at Sents mid tower shows how powerful THD is in team battles. Still , the lack of Ice Path level denied Scourge an outright victory. Chen spent too much in the game without any creeps with him which i think is also a negative point in their game. 30 mins gone and the Warlock got his Refresher Orb and scored some nice team battle victories with double inferno. Vs also got its Aegis by then. From the outset, things are looking quite good for Auto-Fun.

The Warlock seems to be very pumped with a bkb and point added into its items at the 40th min push. Once again , Cybertime stopped their push and delayed the game a bit more. The push by Scourge at the 44th min presents their best chance to winthe game. The lack of stun by Scourge really wasted alot of opportunities for them and they still cant breakthrough. A few more pushes only serve to let Cybertime farm out more items. By the hour mark , with Sandking and Zeus got thier diffusal blade , Lich got its Mekanism , Akasha got its Aegis , it is clear that Scourge cant win.

A counter push by Cybertime after a failed one by Autosurf at the 11th min after the hour resulted in mid raxes of Scourge got destroyed hence ensuring a Cybertime victory.Autosurf could have done better with this mass AOE strat. Chen having more creeps and THD maxing Ice Path early could have well changed the tide of the game. Cybertime did well by defending the base ensuring them ample time to farm out nice items.

Final score : 40-31
MVP : Warlock (14-6) :SkylorD.Auto

DNA-SK vs Wizz-Rev

DNA-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
MVP : Zeus (14-3) : DNA-SK Kyoshi

Autosurf-Dh vs Elites

Autosurf-Dh : Chen , Enigma , Vengeful , Warlock , Akasha
Elites at scourge : Viper , Venomancer , Pugna , LOA , Zeus

This is a quarterfinal match former Elites member Odin's newly formed Autosurf team against his old team mates. Highlights of early game is the Viper against Akasha top in which Viper clearly wins with superior micro. Pugna soloes the Warlock mid in hope of Nether Wards to counter Warlock's constant Shadow Word harrassing. The pick of Chen by Autosurf is obviously is to prevent Paulyan from getting his favourite hero. But nonetheless , he packs a punch with his Viper as he outlevels Akasha by 2 early game.

Sadly , his teammates kept on got caught by Autosurf's unpredictable style of playing , most notably the Chen. His roamings often brings some kills to his teams. By mid way of the game , Auto is dominating. The push for the second mid tower at the 44th min highlights this fact.From there on , Elites game went for a free fall. Their coordination seems out and Auto outsmarted them in every turn. Raxes by raxes gone down and Elites lost shortly after the hour mark.

Overall , nice drafts and control by Auto. Their timing is perfect and their farming is good. Fully deserved victory

Final score : 30-6
MVP : Chen (4-0) : Dh.Odin

DNA-SK vs GF

DNA-SK : Akasha , Viper , Venomancer , Vengeful , Sven
GF at Sents : Chen , Bane , Warlock , Bear , Sandking

After got outplayed by the emerging Autosurf-Dh team at the semifinals , DNA-SK is desperate to redeem themselves in this 3rd-4th placing match up against a relatively unknown team. GF has been a relatively unknown clan that hails from Seremban. The long trip north to KL surely does not deter them from joining the fun against top clans here. The draft of Chen by Gf is partly due to them got outplayed by a good Chen by Cybertime in their semi-final matchup.

Game starts with DNA-SK warding every creep spot thus nullifying the threat of the Chen . DNA-SK also scored an early first blood catching the Chen off guard. Veno , Sven , Vs at bottom against Chen and Bear , Viper and Akasha soloed their lanes against Warlock and Bane , SK respectively. From then to mid game , DNA-SK just displayed what it takes to be good. Support in killings and retreats are as what we expect from the SMM champions.

Fast forward to mid game , GF run a mass creep strat. With Warlock's inferno , Chen's creep , and Bane's necrominions , GF forced push DNA-SK at mid resulting in some gains for GF. With Skadi up by the 35th min , Akasha really epitomizes DNA-SK's owning situation. A few more pushes by Gf only serve to feed SK even more. The push at the 45th min although managed to destroy SK's base tower , only serves to show that GF cannot win . By the 50th min , SK broke the mid rax of GF and Viper got its aegis rapier up not long after.

Some counter pushes that almost caught SK off guard makes the game interesting to watch towards the end . Ultimately , DNA-SK win at the hour mark with the destruction of all raxes of GF.


Final Score : 50-10
MVP : Akasha (20-2) : DNA-SK XtincT
