MATCH PREVIEW: First Departure vs Rattlesnake

 

 

 Although First Departure were unable to qualifiy for The International 3, they sure gave the other participants a run for their money. While for Rattlesnake, they are still on the run for the final spot after finishing second in the Eastern qualifier. They will be battling against the second place of the Western qualifier DD.Dota, who are now known as Quantic Gaming.

First Departure is still struggling in the league and is yet to get their first win along with Mineski, while Rattlesnake on the other hand got their first win against Neolution.International who just lost their captain Ninjaboogie.

 

BOTH TEAMS' CURRENT RECORD

 

PLAYING STYLE COMPARISON

First Departure is one of the few teams who impressively play Wisp, but they could not rely on him all of the time as most of the teams already know that he is one of their key heroes and lead to them banning him. Both Meracle and SCripted usually change roles from carry to support depending on their hero selection, the advantage of this is that they can come up with different hero lineup that fits their strengths but the disadvantage of this is that they do not have a stable role unlike other teams. While for Rattlensakes, they really love to pick the Devil himself, Doom Bringer and pair him up with more silence, Silencer. This two combination of heroes really brought pain to teams they fought and no doubt brought them to vitories. The way they lane and play Doom Bringer is just unexpected, they can lane him in anywhere or even in the jungle, that can really surprise the opposing team and make it hard for them to strategize on their lanings.
