The Philippines qualifier happened last night and unfortunately for one of the favorites,  AMD.Mineski, they could not continue on through as their match against First Departure for the Netolic Pro League 3 got in the way and they were forced to forfeit their slot. But nonetheless, Philippines still managed to find the two worthy teams to carry their flag in the main event.

 

FIRST ROUND

AMD.Mineski vs Victorious Secret

 

During the drafting stage, AMD.Mineski already smelled greed on the side of Victorious Secret after picking three carries that rely badly on items. With that, AMD.Mineski decided to quickly group up and pressure the lanes very early which spelled bad news for Victorious Secret as they lack the ability to defend. Another thing is that their complete 5 hero lineup is not as effective as AMD.Mineski's. Eventually, Victorious Secret got ran over by AMD.Mineski's seige and could no longer hold on into the game which lasted around 16 minutes.

 

OTHER RESULTS:

Nikko Sisters < So EZ

ViG < UGZ UGZ

IAU-UMT < DOTA 2 Punisher

GIGABET < Dasig Gaming

Players Experience Euphoria > Exia

Neon Panda < Apocalypse Gaming

Pacific-2 > Bus Yan!

SECOND ROUND (Top 8)

UGZ UGZ vs DOTA 2 Punisher

 

This was basically a one sided game with UGZ UGZ owning in every parts of the map and DOTA 2 Punisher could not find any answer besides their Queen of Pain getting a few kills for her team. It was not enough to keep the game within reach. UGZ UGZ's Silencer pick was completely utilized on getting kills that gave them easy wins during teams fights. Eventually, DOTA 2 Punisher would just tap out and accept defeat.

AMD.Mineski < So EZ

Dasig Gaming < Players Experience Euphoria

Apocalypse Gaming < Pacific-2

 

THIRD ROUND (Top 4)

So EZ < UGZ UGZ      -      Players Experience Euphoria < Pacific-2

 

UGZ UGZ and Pacific-2 surpassed their fellow countrymen and secured a spot in the main event to represent Philippines. UGZ UGZ might not have been among the teams a lot of people were expecting but with AMD.Mineski out of the picture, they immediately grabbed the opportunity and never let go.
