Heroes Global Championship League Discussion

game one and three both way ahead, and super-throws. Game two they were way ahead also, and didn't royally screw up. Game four had a huge reversal too lol, except in the other direction. Game five was a nail biter though!

Nomia put up a great fight in that, but Misfits finally looked like Misfits in Game 3.

Game 1 on Dragon Shire: Tons of aggressive play from Dignitas earns them an early lead that they keep for the entire game. 15 kills to 0 kills, and Dignitas goes up 1-0 in the best of five series.

Game 2 on Sky Temple: Even early game in levels and structures, until around level 12 where Liquid starts to get some key pick-offs, steals the boss at level 14, and carries the momentum for a few levels heading into the late game. Zagara keeps Dignitas in the game with some decent split-pushing, and then at level 20, a ballsy decision by Dignitas earns them a tiny opening to the core through the top lane but Liquid's defense is too strong. Tied series at 1-1.

Game 3 on Tomb of the Spider Queen: Dignitas gets the first set of webweavers, split-pushes for experience, and then right afterwards picks off a few Liquid players for an early lead. Dignitas forces another engagement at level 11 before Liquid hits 10 to increase the level lead further. 8 minutes into the game, a second set of webweavers from Dignitas puts them way ahead in the structure count (all 3 forts down vs. 0 down). 9:30 boss from Dignitas, denies the turn-in counterplay, Dignitas increases their lead further to over 3 levels ahead, third webweavers from Dignitas. A few minutes later, Liquid falls. Dignitas up 2-1.

Game 4 on Towers of Doom: Genji for Liquid! Around the 4-5 minute mark, Khaldor and Trikslyr have a pretty awesome one-liner back-and-forth thing going on while the two teams fought over the bottom altar. Dignitas hits level 10 a tiny bit earlier with a 32-28 lead, but the game is pretty much tied in both levels and core hp up through level 12, when Liquid uses their heroics prematurely and then a few seconds later lose three heroes. Then Liquid answers back with an altar steal, and ties up the experience race at level 16. Then Dignitas picks off another hero and nabs two altars, up 22 to 11 core hp. 18 minutes into the game and neither team has captured any forts. Then suddenly, Liquid wins a huge team fight and takes forts and takes boss. Tied game, both teams at level 20 with similar core hp, and then an absolutely nailbiter of a battle happens! Best fight of the series hands down. Liquid really close to winning the battle but then Dignitas somehow holds and beats Liquid down, which secured the game for Dignitas. This was the closest game of the series, by far. Dignitas beats Liquid 3-1! Dignitas and Fnatic move on!

Game 5: N/A.
