Dota 2 teams continue to battle at the BTS Pro Series Season 8: Southeast Asia tournament.
Execration vs Motivate.Trust
The Execration vs Motivate.Trust series took an unexpected turn. The Thai team took down Execration for good measure in two consecutive matches. The net worth graphs on both maps showed that Execration never led in gold. The Motivate.Trust team’s drafts were balanced. Execration decided to play Earthshaker in the second game, even after losing the first. As a result, the series ended 2:0 in favor of Motivate.Trust. Both maps lasted no more than 35 minutes.
Polaris Esports vs Nigma Galaxy SEA
Newly formed Nigma Galaxy SEA faced off against Polaris Esports from the Philippines.
Nigma Galaxy seized the lead from the lane stages, but it was so shaky. Nigma Galaxy’s gold lead was only 3k. Polaris made successful ganks and teamfights when they heroes gained critical mass. The game ended with a Polaris victory.
The second map lasted 51 minutes. The balance of physical and magical damage allowed Nigma Galaxy SEA to seize an advantage. Their draft was stronger in a late game. Polaris Esports had only one Wraith King, who could not carry the game alone. Nigma Galaxy SEA solidified their dominance and won the second game in a series.
The teams maintained parity on the third map. The turning point came in the 13th minute, when Polaris made a few successful pick-offs, thanks to their mobile heroes. Polaris began to take the objectives and consolidate the advantage. Wraith King fought well against Faceless Void, as he is a direct counter pick. Polaris Esports won the series 2:1.
