Fans from across the world expected a beautiful game of Dota 2, and both sides were able to live up to their expectations.
Game 1: Aggressive gameplay by NiP
When it comes to Dota 2, the draft pretty much decides the game, and so did it happen in game 1. NiP heroes were looking way better than OG that went for Queen of Pain as their creative a safe lane carry pick. On the other hand, NiP had a solid start in their safe lane with Terrorblade.
The massive sustain and great potential with NiP pick of Keeper of the Light and Puck were just too much for OG to handle. The safe lane for OG did not work out so well and got forced to tap out in only 26 minutes into the game.
Game 2: Stunning display of skills by both teams
Both teams came up with a great draft, full of a team fight and playmaking heroes. NiP started strong as they were able to find good pickoffs on the core heroes of OG. Although getting behind in the gold lead, OG was able to make an impressive comeback after killing three heroes of NiP in quick succession that opened up a room of possibility for potential Roshan opportunity.
OG made good use of aegis by successfully defending their mid-tower from the potential push of NiP. The game was looking smooth, but soon after, Sumail played a bit carelessly that resulted in his demise, followed by the full team wipe of OG.
Afterward, NiP claimed the aegis and head for the potential high ground push. Little did they know, Sumail Faceless Void would shatter their hopes. He landed a game-changing Chronosphere on three heroes on NiP alongside killing the Morphling twice with aegis and getting his team right back into the game.
After a potential high ground push by OG, they were able to force buybacks from NiP players. OG went for the Roshan attempt when NiP tried to stop them but got caught again inside the Chronosphere. Without any buybacks, NiP called GG and got forced into a game 3.
Game 3: Total Beatdown by OG
The laning stage did not go well for the NiP due to the aggressive heroes of OG. From the get-go, OG played decently courtesy of the quality supports, not letting the cores die, resulting in winning crucial team fights.
NiP was left behind the game by a considerable margin that they started making desperate attempts. However, it did not work out in their favor. The extremely fast-paced gameplay assured dominance and won the game three comprehensively in 22 minutes. With game 3, OG was able to win the series by 2-1 in their favor.
