Dota 2 Pro Circuit’s First Event Nears Conclusion
The first event of the Dota 2 Pro Circuit is almost over. The group stage matches at StarLadder i-League Invitational Season 3 came to an end today, with Mineski and Team Secret dominating their opponents.
Mineski and Team Secret made their mark in the group stage, ensuring their spots in the semifinals against Team Liquid and compLexity Gaming. Mineski defeated Vici Gaming and SG e-sports, while Team Secret delivered outstanding performances against Newbee and Na’Vi.
Chai “Mushi” Yee Fung and Daryl “iceiceice” Koh led Mineski to victory with exceptional gameplay. Mushi’s impeccable 11-0 record as Anti-Mage in their first game against SG was noteworthy.
Team Secret also had a flawless run, particularly in their first game against Newbee, where they emerged victorious in just 24 minutes and 55 seconds. Marcus “Ace” Hoelgaard and Yeik “MidOne” Nai Zheng showcased exceptional skills with Weaver and Necrophos, respectively.
In addition, Adrian “FATA-” Trinks played a significant role in Team Secret’s win against the Chinese team, utilizing Nature’s Prophet to terrorize their opponents.
Both Mineski and Team Secret continued their successful streak, defeating Na’Vi and eliminating their chances of reaching the top four. The semifinals are now set, with Team Liquid facing Team Secret, and compLexity challenging Mineski.
The stage is set for an intense showdown on Sunday. Team Liquid has displayed immense strength so far, making it a tough challenge for Team Secret to surpass them in a best-of-three series.
Mineski and compLexity have also shown great teamwork and synergy in their new rosters. This matchup is expected to be fiercely competitive, as both teams often employ unique strategies when needed. Additionally, since they don’t frequently face each other, they will need to adapt to one another’s style in the early stages of the series.
Don’t miss the conclusion of the StarLadder i-League Invitational tomorrow at 6am ET, starting with the match between Team Liquid and Team Secret.
