Nihilum: Paperkat, Inflame, Carekoala
Lineup: Warrior - Warlock - Druid

 

 

Match review by mousesports | Xasz

 

Xom seems to be shadowstep with some PvE gear instead of mutilate as is his trademark. It's a slow start but Xom manages to find Carekoala with a pre vanish. SK burns all their cooldowns very early and it pays off after sticking to Carekoala, a fear places him in a very bad position which ends up killing him.
 

SK 1-0

 

 

Xom is searching for Carekoala but can't find him, Carekoala pops out on the mage and SK sticks on Carekoala again as in game 1. Xom's HP goes up and down the whole time but manages to stay alive, at the same time Carekoala gets away from the focus and it allows Nihilum to kill Xom with their focus fire.

 

Nihilum/SK tie 1-1

 

 

Xom finds Carekoala and gives SK the opening as in game 1, Carekoala gets away and Paperkat sticks on Xom, Orly throws pain suppression on him to minimize the damage and Carekoala answers with a cyclone to try and prevent heals. SK switches to Inflame due to Carekoala being too far away. Both Another and Xom is dropping in HP and it looking grim for the team, however a fantastic switch on to Paperkat provides them with a kill and the third game goes to SK.

 

SK 2-1

 

 

The game starts without Xom opening at someone early. Paperkat goes for Orly while Inflame is spreading dots and Curse of Exhaustion around. SK targets Carekoala as the previous games. Xom drops down, gets pain suppression, a good AoE fear by Nihilum allows for some focus time on Xom but he doesn't go down and instead SK does a switch on to Paperkat again which kills him.

 

SK 3-1

 

SK advances to the WB final. The winner of Nihilum vs Fnatic in the losers bracket match gets to play them in the final on the main stage.
