Game 1

---

Zenith came out in game one banging despite having the heroes composition for late game. Nyx Assassin and a well farmed Tinker were able to spearhead the ganks for the Singaporeans while NeoES.TH's attempt to gank constantly ended with miscommunication and hence, failure.

With such a big lead going for Zenith, they started split pushing and had total map control over the Thais. Zenith was up to 15,000 gold lead by 20 minutes and was 15-0 in kill score. NeoES.TH took a while before they surrendered but forfeited the game 23 minutes in.

Game 2

---

NeoES.TH laned their Chaos Knight and Wisp mid and successfully took the First Blood against Batrider although the revenge kill came quickly. Despite having the bigger ganking heroes, NeoES.TH's support wasted a lot of time failing their attempts to gank Lone Druid while Zenith's Juggernaut and Naga Siren farmed away on the safe lane.

Zenith started grouping up to avoid the global gank potential of NeoES.TH. The Thais attempt to gank the Juggernaut and Lone Druid are futile in most cases because Neolution could not take them down in time before Zenith's supports arrive.

Zenith's meticulous plays slowly built them a 10,000 gold lead and the Singaporean giants chips away at NeoES.TH. Zenith won game two.
