Stream onlookers would undoubtedly have to agree that the Winner's Bracket finals turned out to be a one sided affair for the Filipino team. Malaysia's representative will fall down to the Loser's Bracket and face iZONE125. With a one game advantage for XctN and such amazing performances, they certainly look strong to carry on the Philippine mantle for GEST March.

Invasion Red, the team who were seemingly undefeated throughout the tounament, soon found themselves at the mercy of XctN and their relentless assault of ganks and interesting tactics (generously provided for by the combination of Nerubian Assassin, Naga Siren and Templar Assassin).
While top lane's trio of Nerubian Assassin, Crystal Maiden and Naga Siren were able to score easy kills on Queen of Pain and Shadow Demon, Lion was unable to shift the early game in Invasion Red's favor after failing in a couple of early smoke ganks on bottom lane's Windrunner as well as being unable to hold off Templar Assassin at middle lane with Slardar.
Despite a relatively 'quiet' early game for both sides, XctN were not contented with withholding their aggression and swiftly gathered together to take down Scourge's outer towers.
This early game gold advantage meant that their heroes were able to stack up on core items which only spelt trouble for the Malaysian team as Templar Assassin soon wreaked havoc on Invasion Red after getting her Blink Dagger and Phase Boots before fifteen minutes.
It seemed over for Scourge after XctN pulled heavy leads in both tower and hero kills. Sentinel kept the pressure into Invasion Red's base and after thirty odd minutes of play, the latter could defend their throne no longer and forfeited the match to XctN.
The Philippines have one more hurdle to pass in Malaysia's Invasion Red if they plan on setting up an all-Philippines Grand Final - but can they do it again? Tune in to GoDz stream over at our coverage hub to find out.
