The Southeast Asia qualifiers concluded today with Faceless taking sweet revenge on WG Unity, who upset them in their winners bracket finals encounter.
Faceless and Warriors Gaming Unity faced each other in the Dota 2 Asia Championships qualifiers a total of three times. The first time they had to play against each other was in the group stage winners finals were Daryl Koh 'iceiceice' Pei Xiang’s team took the victory to emerge Group’s A leaders. Reaching the playoffs stage from the second place in the group, WG Unity managed to upset both TNC and Faceless to claim the first spot in the grand finals.
In today’s bo3 playoffs grand finals Faceless made great use of some of their signature heroes, Nyx Assassin in game one, and Undying in both game one and game two, to get a very convincing win against the Malaysians.
Faceless will be the only Southeast Asian representative at the $500,000 DAC main event, which will be held in Shanghai China from 28th of March to 4th of April.
