Virtus.Pro


Game 1



NoTidehunter had a bad start, losing Loda in a pre-spawn engagement, but avoiding the trilane from Virtus.pro gave them back the advantage. The Swedes forced teamfights early on. Incredible individual play and coordination won NoTidehunter several engagements and the advantage grew bigger and it showed in terms of item progression and level advantage.

Virtus.pro lacked the items and therefore the damage to contest the teamfights. NoTidehunter completely outplayed the Russians, forcing out a gg within 28 minutes.



Game 2



Virtus.pro assigned NS to the midlane to help Crazy against s4. They were content with giving Loda the space to freefarm, they did however pick off the rest of NoTidehunter here and there. VP managed to get a good advantage going and even KSi on his Lone Druid farmed up a decently timed Radiance.

NoTidehunter relied heavily on Loda with the rest of the team giving him the necessary space. It paid off when Loda joined teamfights, showing Phantom Lancer's strength. VP traded fairly equally in the beginning, but the Heart on Loda turned the tides and he proved to be too hard to kill.

Several Smoke-gank attempts by VP failed and nth breached highground. They took down the rax and didn't even give Illidan time to finish his Divine Rapier.
