The Retry enter the Star Championship grand final after an extended session against Moscow5. Following the performance against their favored countrymen, PGG and co can now await the winner of Na`Vi and Mousesports with confidence.

The first game only saw one team playing in the beginning minutes. Starring God's Doom Bringer in the leading role, Moscow5 started off with a 7:0 lead, with most kills going to God. There's no real explanation for TR's performance, as the Dire heroes seemed unable to either execute or react to coordinated ganks. Heading towards a quick finish, M5 seemed almost overly careful while fighting on the Dire's side. The game ended eventually, however, seeming to lay the foundations for a grand final appearance for Moscow5.



Though all hope for a comeback of TR seemed gone, the unexpected happened as pgg and his fighters got in shape at approximately 00:15 GMT+2, just in time for the second game. The opening was hectic but even, as M5 desperately attempted to develop an advantage similar to the first encounter, while TR gave all their effort to force a third game.

With a score of 12:10 and both teams realizing that their overaggressive plays weren't hurting the other side, the game suddenly slowed down. Both teams worked to build their carries' strength for the late game. As the only hero to not die after the first 15 minutes, Blowa's Nerubian Weaver became the force to make the difference, ambitiously fighting M5 heroes who did not have the swift bug on their radar.



The opening bells of the arena therefore rang for a third time, with both teams delivering spot-on play from the start. TR went for team-fight heavy lineup with Enigma and Tidehunter, alongside the semi-carries Priestess of the Moon and Slardar and Dazzle as hard supporter. Moscow5 fought hard for the win, especially team leader and solo carry G (this time as Broodmother), who took it on himself to justify the invested travel expenses, as the only one to wear the M5 jersey in the colors of Russia.

Momentum shifted stronger towards TR during the mid game, where the Dire made better use of their heroes than M5, whose Sand King and Earthshaker seemed lost in many fights. The carrying spider was not enough repair the damage dealt to the Radiant, seeing buildings eventually following heroes into death and defeat.
