OG were able to show a decent game to the reigning champions Team Spirit, but did not win
lieJust a couple of minutes ago, a rather spectacular and beautiful match within the framework of OG A Dota PIT Season 5: Europe/CIS between two Dota 2 titans, world champions of 2018 and 2019, OG, and reigning champions Team Spirit, ended. And although Spirit won quite confidently with a score of 2: 1, as many bookmakers expected, there was something to see here. Read on!
The first card - and immediately the signature from Alexander 'TORONTOTOKYO' Khertek. He showed excellent performance on one of the best, if not the best champion in his performance - Strom Spirit. In general, the match was held in one goal with a strong dominance and error-free play from TS. But a separate mention is the game from Miroslaw 'Mira' Kolpakov. Although he played the support hero Wisp alongside Legion Commander in the lane, it felt like these were the very LCs who supported him in the lane bullying. And this is not to mention how ideally he created opportunities and targets for killing.
The second map - OG showed fangs and were able to take it for themselves. But how? In my opinion, first of all, it was at the peak. Outworld Destroyer for TORONTOTOKYO and an extremely interesting Queen of Pain carry pick for OG's Yuragi, which paid off. Team Spirit fought for a very long time and stubbornly and, I am sure, would have won this map too, if OG had made a serious mistake. But luckily for the European team, they didn't.
The third, decisive card - and the most interesting of all. Until the end, it was not clear who would win this meeting, although there was a strong sense of confidence from Team Spirit. This map boiled down to a confrontation between two players: Bozhidar 'bzm' Bogdanov on Tinker and Mira on Monkey King. With his constant movement, split-pushing and uncomfortable positions in fights, Tinker constantly put pressure on the CIS team. But Mira on the monkey was always two steps ahead and somehow incredibly caught Tinker, who himself came under the stick. You just had to see it. Another important factor was the view on the map, according to the review, Team Spirit strongly dominated almost the entire game, and did not forgive OG even for minor mistakes.
Well, today we have witnessed an extremely interesting confrontation. OGwere able to show us interesting and not the most standard solutions, whileSpiritonce again confirmed that they are not called champions for nothing.
