It's Gosu claim jD master II

The second edition of joinDOTA's masters tournament ended yesterday and it is the Americans from It's Gosu who walk away with the $660 prizepool this time, besting mTw in the finals.

It's Gosu first went up against the Swedes from Infused, before playing undoubtedly the game of the tournament against defending champions Evil Geniuses. In an 86 minute thriller of a game, momentum swung from one side to another as the two giants wrestled for a spot in the grand finals. Eventually it was It's Gosu who prevailed and matched up against SyndereN's mTw in the finals.

Its Gosu's Canadian support player Josh "PAINTITGOLD" Amos spoke with joinDOTA after the match:
"We played really well early and mid game which we were happy about, but then partially through the mid-game, to put it short, we went and threw it away with some stupid disorganized fights and poor decision making which lead them to get mid rax and towers. At that point, noone knew what to do specifically, all we knew is that we had to fight our hearts out to defend our throne at any cost, and that we did. Upon winning, our entire team was exuberantly happy, everyone was yelling, especially myself, jumping out of my chair, yelling into my headset and pulling some real life dance moves that no-one could touch. Winning against EG was very big for us, as I think our entire team considers them rivals, especially because of Fear and Demon on the team. I'm very happy that we were the ones to end their "hot-streak", with them being the champions of the prior masters tournament as well as the Dignitas cup. Our entire team considered this match more important then the finals just because of what it meant to us and the fire burning between us."


The third edition of jD master's series resumes today this time with Asian teams facing off against one another.
