Third consecutive Dreamhack meeting of one of DotA's best teams - the Meet Your Makers versus Schroet Kommando clash - was the winner bracket match. This time the Makers managed to emerge victorious. Without further delay, let's proceed with some short post game analysis!
| Game 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
 Meet Your Makers | < |  SK.Gaming | ||||||||||||||||||||||
 Hanni (top) |  Bogdan (top) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
 LevenT (top) |  KwoM (top) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
 Maelk (mid) |  Loda (mid) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
 MaNia- (mid) |  Drayich (mid) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
 slahser (bot) |  Tompa (bot) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Six bans were not enough for heroes like Bristleback and Nerubian Assassin, and with some wise picks SK got them both. Quick first blood bottom secured lane control leaving slahser under farmed for most of the game. SK was lacking some early nuking power, hence MYM was sieging and pushing, trying to prolong Bristle's farming, but SK did defend well enough, eventually out coming victorious from this struggle. Even MYM wise item picks to counter the surviving capabilities of BB were not enough.
| Game 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| SK.Gaming | < | Meet Your Makers | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Tompa (top) | MaNia (top) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Bogdan (mid) | LevenT (top) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
 Loda (mid) |  Hanni (mid) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Drayich (bot) | slahser (mid) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Akke (bot) | Maelk (bot) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Second game seemed to be balanced, but MYM this time refrained from trying to get into late game, getting some powerful casters along with Tiny for reverse Tosses, which helped them getting an edge in team fights, eventually turning into a won game after 51 minutes.
| Game 3 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Meet Your Makers | > | SK.Gaming | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| slahser (top) | Tompa (top) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| MaNia (top) |  Drayich (mid) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Maelk (mid) | Bogdan (mid) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hanni (bot) | KwoM (bot) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| LevenT (bot) | Loda (bot) | |||||||||||||||||||||||
In the last game SK went again for the Priestess + Sladar late game and Warlock + Sand King for skirmishes and team fights. Pugna was brought to secure some more damage on the caster based line-up of MYM. The Nether ward caused lots of problems to MYM in early and mid game, but Tiny with his high hp and low mana costing spells was providing enough havoc. What they could not finish in direct combat, LevenT was finishing with Wrath or Maelk chasing down with his powerful Queen. This enabled Makers to win the mid game, and they entered late with enough advantage to outcome victorious.
