Alliance, Ninjas in Pyjamas, and Virtus Pro Eliminated from Dota 2 Tournament
The OGA Dota PIT Online witnessed a challenging day of competition, resulting in the elimination of three teams. Alliance, Ninjas in Pyjamas, and Virtus Pro have been knocked out of the tournament.
Liquid emerged victorious in a 2-0 series against Alliance, dominating their opponents in both games. Alliance struggled to counter Liquid’s powerful pushing carries, with qojqva’s Queen of Pain and miCKe’s Lycan in the first game, and Lone Druid in the second. Liquid’s strength in team fights led to their decisive victories.
Meanwhile, Virtus Pro faced a tougher challenge against Ninjas in Pyjamas. Despite dropping a game, VP secured a 2-1 series victory. The games were intense and fast-paced, with VP’s no[o]be and Igor “iLTW” Filatov leading the charge in the first game, and NiP’s Ondřej “Supream^” Štarha shining in the second. Game three saw Resolut1on’s Timbersaw dominating, sealing the victory for VP.
In the next series, Liquid faced VP once again. Liquid had previously defeated VP multiple times, and this series was no different. Liquid’s strong performance resulted in a convincing two-game victory. VP struggled to gain momentum, while Liquid capitalized on their pushing potential with heroes like Visage and Luna.
Liquid remained undefeated throughout the day, showcasing their top form. This marks their second top-three finish, following their impressive performance in the WePlay! Pushka League. After a disappointing start in the ESL One Los Angeles Online tournament, where they were eliminated in the group stage with a 0-5 record, Liquid has turned their fortunes around.
The top-three teams for the tournament have now been determined. Liquid, OG, and Secret will battle it out for the championship, with a prize pool of $62,000 up for grabs.
Liquid awaits the outcome of the series between OG and Secret, which will decide their opponent in the lower bracket finals.
