Despite seemingly coming out on top from the drafting stage with three signature Filipino picks (Dragon Knight, Slardar, Templar Assassin), Invasion Red were confident in their reply with Invoker and Pandaren Brewmaster.
The early game went all too well for Scourge, who positioned heroes with better range and damage nukes at their trilane (Pandaren, Lich, Windrunner) to tear down iZONE125's trilane of Slardar, Vengeful Spirit and Earthshaker. Over-aggressiveness further contributed to early deaths for Dragon Knight at middle lane which gave Invoker the advantage he needed for mid game.
iZONE125 held on despite being down, attempting smoke ganks on various heroes around the map which were met with swift response and ultimately repeated deaths for their supports, Vengeful Spirit and Earthshaker.
The Malaysian team saw their advantage and were all too eager to capitalize on it, making attempts at barracks just as they entered the mid game at twenty odd minutes. iZONE125 were unable to take kills off Scourge and after an easy Roshan kill, they took down top and middle barracks.
With a 'GG' call that soon followed after a push into bottom barracks, Invasion Red have earned their ticket to the Grand Finals, with an impressive performance finishing the game with almost thirty kills more than iZONE125.
An all too familiar Malaysia vs Philippines matchup awaits us at the Grand Finals of GEST March. Who will walk away with $1,500 this month? 
With this newfound knowledge, make sure to place your bets for tomorrow's group stage! The first matches kick off at 06:00 CET, so don't miss out!
