Match Progress

In this match, most experts and analysts considered PARIVISION the clear favorite, but the victory turned out to be not so easy for them. On the first map, HEROIC once again chose unusual heroes, with particular attention drawn to Pudge in the offlane position. The teams started out fairly evenly, but beginning from the midgame PVISION started pulling ahead in net worth and kills, yet they could not finish the game. HEROIC held out until the 53rd minute, but eventually lost 21-32.

The second map turned out somewhat easier for PARIVISION. Although HEROIC continued their tradition of unusual drafts, picking Bane and Shadow Fiend, they could not impose stronger resistance on this map. PARIVISION played actively from the very beginning, executing successful team fights. As a result, PARIVISION easily won 33-8 in 38 minutes.

Thus, PARIVISION advance to the Upper Bracket Semifinals, where they will face Xtreme Gaming. HEROIC drop to the Lower Bracket and will play against Tundra Esports.
