Game 1






Both teams went for pretty aggressive line-ups, with Chains Stack picking the Lone Druid as their carry, and MiTH choosing the Anti-Mage. Chains started on the offense, attemping to grab first blood on Magnus, but he managed to avoid their stun-lock in a timely manner. The first blood was taken by Anti-Mage a few minutes later.

Despite having high mobility heroes, the attempts were mostly successful only against the middle and bottom laners. r1sk on his Weaver managed to farm up a lot early on and destroyed the tier-one tower by 11 minutes.

Chains Stack heroes helped them push more effectively, destroying all tier-one towers a little before 18 minutes. However, MiTH's gangs were more successful, with the score being 4-7 at that time.

The clashes kept going the way of MiTH and 22 minutes in a long fight took place on top lane, ending 5-2 in favor of MiTH, mostly because of the Anti-Mage who teleported just in time after taking down the middle tier-two. MiTH then moved into the Rosh pit.

Chains tried to stage a comeback, winning a 2-0 fight and the Aegis from Anti-Mage but it was to no avail. Continuous split pushing and the Second Roshan kill by MiTH gave them yet another big boost. They brought the barracks down 39 minutes in and forced the "gg" call.



Game 2





MiTH opted for strong physical damage heroes such as Magnus, Templar Assassin and Alchemist, while Chains put their focus more on AOE spells with Sand King, Nature's Prophet and Queen of Pain.

Templar Assassin managed to overwhelm Queen of Pain, grabbing the first blood 9 minutes into the game. The supports from both teams rotated a lot during the laning phase, attempting to look for kills but were unsucessful in most cases. This opened up a lot of time and space for the carries of both teams to free farm their lanes.

Alchemist farmed up a whopping 650 gold-per minute and bought his Shadow Blade ten minutes into the game. At the same time, Templar Assassin also picked up her Blink Dagger.

Chains reacted by assaulting the mid lane but a bad judgement by the Queen of Pain resulted in two horrible pick offs in favour of the Thais. Four minutes later, a successful smoke gang by MiTH ended up killing four of Chains Stack heroes bar the Anti-Mage who teleported bottom to continue farming. Alchemist however, caught up and killed the Anti-Mage in three hits.

By the 22nd minute, the score was already 10-1 and Alchemist was too hard to burst down with his Heart of Tarrasque. Chains Stack gave up and called the game.



Game 3





The game started with a note of comedy, as Magnus managed to use Skewer on Keeper of the Light, trapping him on the high ground. Since the courier was busy, Sand King used his Burrowstrike to reach the Keeper of the Light , grabbing the first blood. Tinker was killed a few seconds later by a Disruption-Sunstrike combination.

At the 11th minute mark, the score was tied at eight a piece due to some even exchanges from both teams. Tinker was forced to go for Tranquil Boots, after being completely locked down in the laning phase by MiTH as they played very aggressively every time the Sunstrike was off cooldown. Sand King, Magnus and Invoker all had their Blink Daggers before the 20 minute-mark

Spectre, played by Pipat 'LK' Prariyachat, proved to be too strong for Chains, getting kills after kills. He achieved Beyond Godlike 27 minutes into the game and had a Radiance and Heart stashed up in his inventory. Taking advantage of their lead, MiTH took down Roshan and quickly moved into the final push. MiTH-Trust defeated Chains Stack in three straight games.
