The game was going in favor of Na’Vi from the start. Na’ Vi focused more on drawn-out fights, with Clockwork for the catch, Zeus and Snapfire for magical damage, and Razor and Dawnbreaker for DPS. He also had Mars, Marcy and Rubik to set up and disrupt these fights. Spirit’s lineup in Game 2 was a lot about flying fast, with Tiny and Morphling heavily involved. Now with the gold lead in favor of the Spirit, there was another teamfight for the TI champions to end the game. Shortly after, a brilliant play by Ilya “Yatoro” Mulyarchuk coupled with some luck saw the enemy Amber fall. By the 38th minute, they had a decent 9k gold lead and although it was not decisive, it looked like they could take the game.Ī good teamfight later, though, the spirit was back in him. Spirit, on the other hand, focuses on a more grouped approach with Warlock and Enigma combinations complemented with Snapfire, Tiny, and Juggernaut.ĭespite a relatively quiet opening game, Na’ Vi soon took the lead with some important pickoffs. In the first game Na ‘Vie focused on a split teamfight style with Templar Assassin, Ember Spirit, Rubik, Dawnbreaker and Dazzle. The playing style of both the teams is very aggressive, so it was always going to be an intense fight. The CIS rivals at opposite ends of the group finally faced off, with Na ‘Vie fighting for his life and Spirit looking to secure a good seeding for the playoffs. Let’s take a look at the best matches of the fourth day. The final day of Group B results saw Entity and Team Spirit 2-0 EG and Na’Vi respectively, while Beastcoast vs Tundra and Aster vs Boom finished all classes.

Credit also goes to Team Aster, who topped the group without losing a series – a feat only surpassed by PSG.LGD in the second group. On the other hand, props to Beastcoast for overtaking the Ukrainian team, and Boom Esports for a top 4 spot on Evil Geniuses. That being said, our praises go to Natus Vincere, who was near the top of the table at the end of the second day, getting out early only to lose three straight series. The group’s biggest surprise was undoubtedly the pathetic performance of Tundra Esports, which would have been beating themselves up for the worst result of any team in the entire tournament. Since Group B had only 8 teams as opposed to Group A’s 9, its matches are now over. The last day of Group B matches has come and gone, with the standings now finalized at the Dota 2 Arlington Major.
