Home team Orange Esports edged out a 3-2 victory over Thailand's MiTH.Trust to win the Dota 2 Malaysia Invitational trophy and the $5,000 USD.

Orange went through the brackets undefeated, and was faced against MiTH.Trust in the grand final. Their winner bracket heritage meant 1-0 but a Tri-headed MiTH.Trust made sure the victory chant would have to wait til the very last game possible.

Game one saw Orange Esports come back after a big early-game lead from the Batrider-roaming team. Taking down towers and pushing the lanes, Mushi acquired an early Black King Bar to dodge death at numerous occasions.

The game ended with a tonne of server issues which forced the players to continue playing with a spiky and laggy feel. But with stronger heroes Orange could take the game to reach 2-0.

With the knife against the throat, Trust came back to take game two much thanks to Nightstalker and Earthshaker's roaming during night time.

Game three was also a winning story for the Thai team with an overfarmed Antimage at the end-game that made wonders for the gank and push heavy hero lineup of Orange.

The deciding game, Orange went for Weaver, Broodmother, Nightstalker, Lion and Lich shaped so that the Broodmother could level up and gain gold insanely fast going up against MiTH's Windrunner in the bottom lane.

Final standings
1. Orange $5,000 USD
2. MiTH.Trust $3,000 USD
3. Mineski $2,000 USD
