Empire vs Mousesports
Game One
Draft - The game begins with both teams opting for a single target lockdown draft with Pandaren Brewmaster, Vengeful Spirit, Visage, Clinkz and Beastmaster on Team Empire and Doom, Bane Elemental, Weaver, Invoker and Enchantress on Mousesports.
01.00: The game starts with Mouz opting for a duel lane with Weaver on top against Empire's trilane of Clinkz, Vengeful Spirit and Visage. Realizing the danger, Pajkatt tp's down to bottom lane in order to get a safe farm.
03.30: FIRST BLOOD! Weaver gets first blood on Brewmaster after a sweet nightmare from Bane Elemental, that allows Invoker to Sunstrike and Weaver to use sukuchi to secure the kill.
05.00: Mag retaliates and secures a double kill on Enchantress and Bane on the bottom lane and hits an early level 6 on Brewmaster.
06.30: A smoke from Team Empire secures them a kill on Invoker at mid lane with Beastmaster's primal roar combined with Vengeful Spirit's stun and Visage's soul assumption.
08.30: Another succesfull smoke attempt from Empire that secures them a kill on Doom whilst he is leaching experience from the neutrals on the low ground on top lane.
11.00: First tier one tower on top lane falls for Mousesports. Empire are slowly gaining lead in terms of experience and gold shortly followed by a quick exchange of kills between Visage and Invoker along with Mouz' tier one tower at mid.
13.00: Clinkz secures a solo kill on Doom at top lane whilst Brewmaster nearly escapes death after using his primal split on time and punishes Mouz by securing a kill on Bane and Enchantress at mid lane.
16.00: Mouz get an important pick-off on Clinkz at top lane with the help of gem on Enchantress.
17.50: Capitalizing on their lead, Empire secures the first Roshan with an Aegis of Immortal going on Clinkz.
20.00: A slight mis-calculated gank from Brewmaster results in Enchantress escaping out alive. Meanwhile, bottom tier 2 tower for Mouz takes a fall.
21.30: Empire emerges out on top in what can be assumed as the first team fight in the entire game. Mouz ends up losing 3 along with the gem on Enchantress whilst Empire loses Visage.
23.00: Empire breaches the high ground and destroys the first set of racks on top lane. A slight over engagement from Pajkatt ends up horribly as he gives away his killing spree streak to Clinkz, with some smart plays coming out from Vanskor.
27.30: With their lead amassing to new heights, Empire march on towards Mouz' base and after killing Bane and Enchantress, take down the barracks on the remaining lanes. GG is called from Mouz as Empire takes lead in the first game.
Game Two
Draft - Mouz goes for a push line-up by picking up Lycan with the global presence from Ancient Apparition. Meanwhile, Empire goes for a more hard hitting and pushing line-up by picking up Mirana and DK with Enigma as their AOE presence. Meanwhile, Mouz pick FATA's signature hero Puck and Empire opts for TideHunter as their last pick.
00.10: FIRST BLOOD! Silent's Mirana secures the first blood on Ancient Apparition with a sacred arrow combined with nightmare and malefice.
01.00: Mouz retaliate with a revenge kill on Mirana by the hands of Centaur Warrunner with help from Venge and Ancient Apparition. Mirana dies again with the same combo a minute later.
04.30: Rotation from Dragon Knight with haste rune on top lane secures Empire a kill on FATA's puck with anchor smash and dragon tail.
05.40: A smoke from TideHunter and Dragon Knight lands them a kill on Vengeful Spirit at mid lane combined with Enigma's malefice. Meanwhile, Ancient Apparition falls to Bane's nightmare and Mirana's arrow on the bottom lane.
08.00: Empire take down tier 1 and 2 tower on the bottom lane in quick succession, thus, capitalizing fully on DK's ultimate form without any contention followed by a tier 1 tower on mid.
11.00: paS- gets caught on the high ground near the Dire ancients. Meanwhile, an unwise initiation from Tidehunter ends up in a fair exchange.
12.00: Empire secures the first Roshan with Aegis going on Dragon Knight. Centaur tries to steal the Aegis by blinking in, but it doesn't quite pave out as he ends up dying along with Vengeful Spirit near the ancients.
15.50: A team fight ensues on top lane after Empire take down the tier 1 tower. It ends up being a 2:1 trade in favour of Empire with the additional tower gold.
17.00: BLACKHOLE! A clutch 4-man blackhole from Enigma near Dire's top tier 2 tower. Mouz ends up losing 4 heroes with Empire marching down to take the top barracks.
18.00: GG! The last teamfight ensues where Empire stand out on top. Mouz lose Puck and Lycan in process, and with hopes all lost they call out GG. Mouz are eliminated from DreamLeague whilst Empire will now face Cloud9 in the lower bracket finals.
