Loda vs.Burning, Bulldog vs. RotK, Akke vs. MMY, so many worthy matchup to anticipate in this best-of-three series of your International 3 winner's bracket Semis. The journey of both Alliance and DK has already been counted for they, together with the 6 other teams who qualify in the top 8 is assured to go home with extra cash on their pocket. Undoubtedly, Alliance is the more favored team coming on this series for their flawless 16-0 performance so far.

 

 

Though Alliance seemed to be more favored against DK, Burning and his veteran crew is no push-overs and did proved that yesterday when they dropped defending champions, Invictus Gaming.

 

Keys to the Game:

Ban Tree and Bear!

One good thing about the team Alliance is the diversity of their heroes. Loda for example can play even the most unkown carry and still win. Burning must exploit the lesser effective heroes if he wants to claim this series. Two heroes that they must avoid is obviously Bulldog's tree and bear. The former Swede-Pubstar has been performing at its best when given those two heroes. In the tournament, s4 has been feeding Bulldog Bounty Hunter as its 3rd option, Semi-Good thing for DK is that Bulldog BH isn't that much effective compared to his signature heroes. So if you are DK, you want to get the leser effective heroes coming thru this series.

 

First Pick Anti-Mage!

Burning is the soul of this team. They have been famous because of his capability in farming. Burning's career GPM is at 521, way too far if he use his signature hero Anti-Mage who's at 621 GPM average. Though it's risky for them to go with it early, Give Burning the spotlight to play Anti-Mage and we can expect a head-to-head series between them and Alliance.

 

Prediction:

The Swedes are still in poist to get this series, RGN Predicts 2-1.
