The best of Asia will soon be crowned as the Asian DotA Championship reaches its grand finals. Its shaping up to be an interesting Grand Finals as the two countries that are vying for the championship is none other than Malaysia and Singapore.
The last time these two countries met on the battlefield was during ESWC08, where Singapore's Zenith was able to claim victory over Malaysia's Kingsurf. Fast forward to now, both countries now have new representatives for ADC. Cybertime for Malaysia and Aeon.sg for Singapore.
Aeon.sg is definitely the favorites to win the championship as they placed first in the group stages, followed by the Cybertime. Cybertime is of course a formidable foe. The Malaysian team gained much popularity for their leader, Mushi's excellent play of Templar Assassin and Ursa Warrior. However, both teams are not in their best shape with Aeon.sg losing their key player, hyhy right after SMM09 and Cybertime going through some massive roster changes.
The Grand Finals will be played on Christmas Eve at 16.59 CET in a Best of Five format, with Cybertime gaining a one game advantage for coming from the winners bracket. This means that for Malaysia to get their revenge on Singapore, Cybertime must defeat Aeon.sg two times.
Can both teams perform at their peak after their roster change? Will Malaysia be able to take revenge for their loss at ESWC08? Or will Singapore prove once more they are better? The answers will be available in due time. For now, place your Gosubets for the match of the year here.
