Aeon send Duskbin to Loser's Bracket

The early game started out fine for both teams, with Anti-Mage getting quick kills and Death Prophet doing well on creeps with 60 cs at 10 minutes. Meanwhile, both teams pulled off ganks around the map with not much emphasis on taking towers. Death Prophet continued her farm on the bot lane uninterrupted.

A huge fight broke out near Dire's tier 2 top tower which went much in Aeon's favor - a 5-1 team wipe and Aeon easily cleared the tier 2 tower as well. Black King Bars on Dragon Knight and Death Prophet eventually popped up and the Singaporean team hastily went for mid barracks at 23 minutes (they had to settle for tier 3 mid tower).

Another attempt was made at 25 minutes after Black King Bar and Exorcism went off cooldown and they claimed mid barracks. As Aeon backed off, Duskbin made the decision to go for Roshan even as Aeon were already pushing into top barracks.

By the time they returned, it was too late they had traded top barracks for an Aegis on Queen of Pain. A third and final attempt on the last barracks standing at bot lane led to a even fight but the barracks eventually went down on the back of Death Prophet's spirits and Duskbin had to forfeit game one.

It was action right from the beginning as a smoke gank by Aeon led to a 2-2 exchange in the first minute at top lane. Prophet, on the other hand, was solo against Windrunner at the bot lane and constantly pressured Duskbin with Teleport dives across the map. The kill score was 6-10 in Aeon's favor at 8 minutes.

The Orchid of Malevolence was paying off for both Prophet and Clinkz, who were able to take out Lion, Earthshaker and Storm Spirit in fights, especially before the latter had farmed up his Black King Bar.

Aeon made a Roshan attempt at 21 minutes and took the next team fight 3-1 as well as a top tier one tower. The next big fight took place at 28 minutes, where three Black King Bars were popped on Leshrac, Storm Spirit and Clinkz - but it ultimately led to deaths of Leshrac and Windrunner as well as mid and top tier 2 tower for Radiant.

A smoke gank as a last resort by Duskbin led to yet another fight at Roshan - even as the Filipino team were able to take out Prophet before the fight, Duskbin went on to lose four heroes and even the Aegis to Slardar. With that, they made one final attempt for bot barracks and claimed the victory in 33 minutes.
