The Philippines will not make a showing at this year's The International with their last representative, Duskbin, falling to WE in Round 3 of the Loser's Bracket. WE will face the loser of Aeon and TongFu next.
It was Chen and Enchantress going head on as both heroes opted to go jungle in Dire's forests. Meanwhile, Morphling was out-leveling Night Stalker at mid lane with proper rune control.
The game was set out to be WE's as an early Blink Dagger on Brewmaster gave WE a 3-10 kill advantage at 13 minutes, and with better play in ganks, WE were able to claim four towers and a 3-15 kill advantage at 17 minutes. With so much map control, the Chinese side decide to take down Roshan at 19 minutes, and swiftly capitalize on their advantage by going for mid barracks at 20 minutes,
Duskbin were not prepared to give up their barracks just yet, only allowing WE to take down mid tier 3 tower with a successful defense on buybacks by Enchantress and Sand King.
Returning to push out their other lanes, WE soon gathered once again at mid lane at 24 minutes, and even buybacks could no longer stop WE from winning. Morphling's Rampage was the final nail on the coffin and the Filipino team forfeited with a score of 6-25 at 25 minutes.
Constant Teleports by Prophet allowed Leshrac to get picked off a couple of times in the early game, but that meant Lone Druid had free farm in mid lane. Despite Leshrac dying six times in eight minutes, WE were able to keep themselves in the game with Radiance which came on Lone Druid at 18 minutes.
A huge fight occured at 15 minutes, where constant buybacks by Duskbin let the team take out four of WE's heroes, and then an Aegis on Razor. Both teams then continued to farm up till the next Roshan, which went to Razor as well at 28 minutes.
The top tier 3 tower fell down with a backdoor buyback by Prophet, who died twice in his attempt. Another 3-5 wipe which went in WE's favor successfully defended a top barracks push with Lone Druid getting an Ultra Kill.
With so much pressure into WE's base, the third Roshan went to Duskbin uncontested, and a split push occured which eventually took out bot tier 3 tower. The decision to smoke into Radiant's forest at 41 minutes went horribly wrong for WE, who were caught out and lost the fight 1-4.
Duskbin pushed into WE's base and claimed both barracks - Brewmaster could not use his Ultimate before dying and the GG call was made.
The early game went well for Duskbin, with Bounty Hunter and Queen of Pain effectively roaming around the map and picking off heroes on WE's side. Puck was unable to get mid game going in his favor until Blink Daggers were up on Slardar and Puck at 18 minutes. A fight went 4-1 in WE's favor.
With Double Damage on Slardar, WE was able to take out Roshan at 21 minutes and place the Aegis on Slardar - things went downhill for Duskbin following the kill. The team managed to take out top barracks and then mid barracks later at 34 minutes.
With a Holy Shit streak on Slardar with 11-1, Duskbin gave game three to WE, and Philippine's last representative are knocked out of the qualifiers. WE will face the loser of Aeon and TongFu next.
