Playoffs All Set on SEA League

The Neolution trio of teams took command on the latter half of SEA League's Group Stage, with all of them earning a playoff spot.

Group A was won by Neolution.Orange after they racked up 3 wins on their group. Supposedly their first tournament after their revamp, NeoES.Orange played with stand-in Kecik Imba from MAS to replace Ohaiyo for the event. Ohy's absence was not missed though, as they controlled their group with Mushi's awesome Mag play. NeoTH claimed the other playoff spot by finishing second on the group.

The best match of the group was the 3rd game of the top 2 teams on the group, where they faced each other. Despite being on such a big lead, NeoES.Orange was finding difficulties on pushing because of the heavily farmed PL of NeoES.TH's Intreso. Great initiation by Mushi's Mag and kkee's SG eventually opened up an opportunity for them though, as they ended up with the win.

Group B was predicted as a showdown between NeoES.Int and MSIEvoGT, but their match-up became anti-climactic as NeoES ended up on a lopsided win. They were able to route their opponent utilizing the cheesy Storm + Lifestealer combo, and finished the group with a commanding 3-0 slate. MSI finished second, thus advancing to the playoffs as well.

The best match match of the group though, belongs to the elimination match between MSI and Pacific. Behind a stellar Lifestealer play by Ryo, MSI stormed to a big lead early and were apparently very close to winning. They got caught unprepared though by Earthshaker, who had just bought dagger, and they got wiped by Pacific's big 'wombo-combo' of ES, Mag, QoP and Lich. After that team fight though, MSI played as they should against big initiators and won the game.
