Here are the result yesterday.

DuSt.OC vs Newbee.Lawliet

Like the games versus Infi, OC was still only using double Ancient of War and mass Huntress. And Lawliet, who has already known everything decided to conquer his opponent with the same strategy.

On the first map on TM, OC played with Huntresses and Glaive Throwers, which also led him lacking of force for direct fight. Lawliet seized the opportunity to kill a lot of Huntresses. In patch 1.31, the damage of the Glaive Throwers dropped sharply, even when they were fighting against the Huntress, they were no advantage. In addition, Lawliet turned to play with Hippogryph Riders and a wonderful sneak attack, OC almost lost all his units. At the moment of victory, Lawliet let the Archers got down from the Hippogryph and surround the KotG, it was stunning the audience. In facing this kind of micro, OC could only called out GG.

OC became the first player to be eliminated in this WGL.

And we came to the second round on EI. Both sides continued the mass Huntresses fight again. In the opening, OC built an Ancient of War in Lawliet’s base, but Lawliet defended it perfectly, and he went for leveling up his her. OC was once confused. In the morning in the game, Lawliet went to attack with his higher supply and higher heroes levels. Although OC used the Beast Scroll to withstand it barely, he also had a heavy loss. Soon, Lawliet bought a Beast Scroll in the market for a counter-attacks, OC could not resist, and he called out GG. At the same time, he also became the first player to be eliminated in this WGL.

mTw.Cash vs LP.Colorful

In the first battle on LR, Colorful was completely suppressed by Cash in the early stage, he was forced to cancel this expansion continuously, and his KotG didn’t reach 3, and the Night Elf didn’t see any hope of victory. Then, Cash launched an attack after the SH reached level 3.

At the same time, Colorful’s expansion had just been started mining and had not recovered the cost, his had only 50 supply, and his hero level was so low. On the other hand, the Orcs, the BM was having the items with +12 Agility, and also the grouped up army of Grunts and Shaman, the Night Elf troops was falling again and again. After that, Cash just ran away with a Speed Scroll. After a little recovering, Cash launched an attack, and the Night Elf could kill no a single unit of the Orc. Colorful could only surrender for the Game 1.

Colorful had no chance in the game.

On the second map of NI, Colorful expansion was canceled again, KotG wasn’t soon enough to reach level 3 for fighting the suppression of the Orcs. On the other hand, the Orcs grew up stable,and they formed an army of double level 3 heroes, 50 supply of Spirit Walkers, Raiders and Kodo. Even if the Night Elf built up an expansion, and they pulled out the Wisps to the fight in time, but they were useless in face to the SH with Robe of the Magi and Greater Mana Potion. After that, Cash pushed down the Night Elf expansion and also expanded at the same time. Colorful again could do nothing and he typed out GG.

RAGE.Hunter vs RW.Fly100%

In the previous WGL, Hunter didn’t win a single series, but he still showed a strong desire to win. KotG and the Huntresses were giving a lot of pressures to the Orc. He killed 3 Grunts, and he also greatly delayed the SH’s leveling time. After taking the lead, Hunter didn’t give Fly any chance to breathe, he went for attack and he succeeded to knocked down the Beastiary, while he was expanding. When Fly failed to attack, Hunter would have been already winning the game.

At this time, he only had to take away the three big camps near his base and broke the upkeep to 80 supply for the win. However, he chose to attack when the army wasn’t formed yet. What is more desperate was that he didn’t bring the TP. Fly took the opportunity and used the Shamans and the BM to kill two heroes. At last, Fly turned and won the game.

Hunter didn’t give up

The loss of the previous set did not affect Hunter’s mind. The second game on CH, Hunter became more and more brave. He let the Wisps to Detonate the BM, and used the KotG’s Entangle to kill the BM, let the audiences screamed about the move. Then, Hunter used the same skill and killed the SH again, completely controlling the initiative on the field. Unfortunately, Hunter did not have the Owls to control the vision, Fly was hiding from Hunter and he stole a lot of big camps. After that, the grouped up army of Fly was unstoppable, Hunter once again lost a good game.

Newbee.Lyn vs RW.Life

On the first map of LR, Life kept his expansion, then he used the Huntress’ strong timing to get the two big camps. With the Beast Scroll that got from the camp, Life held perfectly against Newbee.Lyn’s offense. Although, after this, Lyn sacrificed his expansion for Life expansion, but the items of Life were too good. With the Warsong Battle Drums, Archers were having very high damage, and the BM was being controlling by the Wand of the Wind. After a fight, the Orcs’ supply was reduced to 37, and the Night Elf was still being with 57 supply. Although Lyn is very strong but he still couldn’t change the difference.

In the second round on EI, Life had a perfect start again. The operation of the expansion had not been harassed, seems Life was winning the game. Under the crisis, Lyn’ chose TC second with Wyverns Shaman, and it had a miraculous effect, and Life lost a lot of Archers and Huntresses. Fortunately, the economy of Life was very good, he bought a Heal Scroll and went for a counter-attack. At this time, the disadvantage of the Orcs lacking the heal from SH was undoubtedly exposed. Although Lyn killed the Life’s double heroes, his TC was also get killed, the troops were almost completely fallen, and the expansion immediately declared their fall.

Lyn still came back in this game and series.

At the time, it was Single Gold Mines vs double Gold Mines, 49 supply vs 70 supply, can this be reversed? Lyn told us, yes! Seeing the heroes didn’t bring items for life-saving, Lyn chose to fight immediately. The level 5 TC with War Stomp was very strong, BM’s Critical Strike also appeared in time. After three kills of heroes, Lyn had completed an incredible and big comeback.

Life’s mentality was greatly fluctuated. The deciding game came to TM, Life chose to play with Huntresses this strategy was so weak against the Far Seer. In the early game, Life lost so many Wisps, and the hidden Ancient of Protector was also discovered by Lyn. In the face of the opponent’s push, Lyn’s army were holding at base, and he also already prepared Demolisher before the Ancient of Protector were ready. After that, Life failed to kill the Far Seer and called out GG. Finally, Lyn beat Life with 2-1, and avoided the fate of out from the group.

Games today, the Loser Bracket Final.

For the first game, it’s very hard game for Lawliet, and Infi is still being strong when he plays against Night Elves. I guess Infi will win in three.

If Cash didn’t play against FoCuS in group stage 1, I would have said he would lose with 1-2. However, the games a few days ago has showed how big is the gap between them. Therefore, I say FoCuS will win with 2-0.

The third game is the hardest series for us to predict, Chaemiko has improved so much, and Fly was not being good recently, although I heard that Fly was going to Cyber Cafe and practicing in the midnight. Previously, I guessed Fly would win with 2-1 in the first round, but after I saw the the games in these few days, I think Chaemiko will win in three.

It will be a very struggling game for Lyn, however, I think Lyn will still win the games. So, I say Lyn in three.
