Mineski plans to use Skywrath Mage backfired horribly and gave momentum to Izone as they move into the Grand Final against Pacific.Emaxx.

It seemed Mineski was initially thrown offguard with the lesser seen pickups of Undying, Bounty Hunter and Skywrath Mage (the latter of which set the audience cheering).
Mineski made the first play with an interesting triple smoke gank on mid lane with Drow Ranger, Crystal Maiden and Earthshaker. But that did not stop Skywrath from getting levels and when that happened, the combination of Skywrath's burst damage and Bounty Hunter roaming the map allowed Pacific.emaxx to pull off aggressive dives.
Mineski tried to turn the fight around with buybacks but they were ultimately to no avail. Mineski could only defend their base lane by lane as five, as it was getting to easy to get caught out and bursted down. The score was 23/7 in Pacific.emaxx's favor and the end seemed near.
At 32 minutes, Sentinel forced a base dive past Mineski's middle barracks and despite this, were still able to team wipe Scourge one by one. After middle barracks and bottom barracks were cleared, Mineski forfeited the game.
An all-Filipino grand final is in order as the top six teams at the event contain four Filipino teams. Can iZone, Dreamz, or Mineski bounce back to challenge Pacific.emaxx in the finals? Stay tuned to find out.
