Day two of Frankfurt Major European playoffs qualifier stage - the Alchemist day
All the games that have been played today featured a mid or a carry Alchemist rushing Radiance and tried to set an extremely offensive tempo, Loda’s last Alchemist game made the exception.
The day started with (monkey) Business facing Ninjas in Pyjamas in the Upper Bracket. For the first game of the BO3 series BigDaddy-N0tail went with a mid lane Alchemist and carried MB in an explosive way, registering at the end of the 35 minutes game a whooping 1040 GPM with a “common” Radiance, Octarine Core, Manta Style item build, plus two Aghanim's Scepters for Necrophos and Witch Doctor.
For the second game it was Era’s time to be the farming machine but unfortunately, his ex-Fnatic friend managed to keep him under control with a Juggernaut, and with a little help from Cr1t’s signature Jakiro MB ensured their ticket to Frankfurt while NIP was sent into the lower bracket where Alliance was waiting for their opponents.
Alliance incredible comeback from mega creeps
Alchemist came online in the first game of the Swedish clash and it was played by NIP but this time around he was handled by Limmp. Alliance answered with triple Orchids as s4 - Queen of Pain, Loda - Clinkz and AdmiralBulldog - Broodmother all rushed the item. This simple item choice allowed Alliance to control NIP’s line-up perfectly and led to a high ground push only 25 minutes into the game. Ten minutes later NIP got wiped out in their own base and called out the GG.
Game two was a completely different story for Alliance who had Loda playing the Greevil's Greed hero. If you missed this game then make sure you go watch the replay because there are not enough words to describe the tremendous effort that Alliance put in to make an impossible comeback at the 50 minute mark.
Getting crushed the whole game with the base swarmed by mega creeps , Alliance managed to hold the Throne for more than 10 minutes and repeatedly killed NIP’s three cores to finally out maneuver them and force the GG push when no one on NIP had buyback available.
Now that's a comeback. See you in Frankfurt! pic.twitter.com/fT7hVtlDq7
