BLAST and inF in for Roccat GosuCup

Roccat DotA GosuCup's first qualifier is now over and we have our first two qualified team who will join the invited eight in the group stages. The two teams are inF from Poland and BLAST from France.

The first qualifier had 64 teams competing with big names such as Na'Vi. sTurtle and eyes.Int playing. The favorites to win it all, Na'Vi breezed through the qualifier in style until the semi-finals where they succumbed to the 16th minute loss of Dendi, due to disconnect, in combination with BLAST's great play overall.

On the other side of the brackets was inF vs sTurtle in the semi-finals. Along the way sTurtle had to defeat another favorite, Druidz eSport, for their shot at the finals, while inF took down eyes.Int for their spot in the semi-finals. The Polish team that is inF became eventual winners and secured their spot in the Group stages, all that's left is to win the qualifier for bragging rights.

If the finals of the qualifier is indication of what is to come, then we can definitely have high hopes for a great GosuCup. The Frenchmen, went for a very risky fast push line up by picking their core heroes, Broodmother and Venomancer along with Vengeful Spirit, Windrunner and Shadow Fiend. Infamous went for a more standard build with PotM, Visgae, Pudge, Witch Doctor and Batrider.

The Polish team, Infamous had a very good start getting kills after kills with Pudge, Witch Doctor and Visage doing a trilane at bottom. Over at top lane, Batrider and Broodmother played safe and farmed their items slowly. Mid game turned around for BLAST as they got more kills and won some crucial team fights. This allowed Broodmother to farm up her items quickly.

Towards late game, Infamous tried to make a comeback, but with an overfarmed Broodmother and Shadow Fiend, they have no choice other than calling GG.

Both BLAST and Infamous are now qualified for the Group stage of Roccat DotA GosuCup #3. These two teams must not be underestimated as they both took down quite a few DotA giants to get to where they are. Infamous managed to take down Magical Gaming, eyes.Int as well as sTurtle. On the other hand, BLAST eliminated GC and Na'Vi from the compeition.

Roccat GosuCup #3 Qualifier 2 will start next Friday. So stay tuned for more DotA action folks!
