OG and EG play an amazing game of Dota in a BO1 elimination game at Epicenter Major 2019.
OG, playing with Sockshka in place of NoTail, draft Slark for Ana despite not being a meta pick.
The game has very even push and pull between the two teams and the game comes down to the last 10 minutes; the two teams are looking to engage around the third roshan, and while each side is looking for a favorable engagement, EG is forced to defend the split push from Cebs Furion.
The way that OG use rosh to force EG into taking a bad fight is brilliant.

Royal Never Give Up, after giving up the lead early on, stayed true to their name, defending their throne with everything they got. This game has game changing RPs and incredible Calls and a Storm zipping around trying to find a Tinker before the Tinker finds him.

Wherein a certain team throws a 30000 gold lead.

Intense mega creep comeback, game 2.

The Blackest of Holes.

BIG DADDY!

Fantastically close game including a support Silencer and a beautiful wombo combo. Impossible to tell who wins until the end.

How a massive advantage can be rendered useless by one single item.

Epic Dendi Magnus and XBOCT Gyro Rapier combo.

In the Finals of Captain's Draft 4.0 Team Secret is down 2-1 in a bo5 against Vici Gaming. With a strong line up on both sides it's all about getting the upper hand in ganks and teamfights. VG is up 20k gold at one point, but it wouldn't be Dota if this would be the end of it.
Great teamfights and a fantastic drive by both teams to gain absolute advantage guarantee a very enjoyable match!

Also featuring: tanky Rubick, Echo Slam on creeps and great stats-information by SirActionSlacks

EG demonstrates why Universe is considered one of the world's best Faceless Void players.

The game where Aegis gets denied.

We have yet to see as good a Rubick play and so many of them as in this match.

The 6 Million Dollar Echo Slam Game.

The first International finale that could come close to beating the fantastic TI3 finale in popularity. EG has the US and European fanbase behind them while CDEC gather Chinese and SEA fans. It's a fulminant clash and both teams give their very best to earn the title of best Dota 2 team. A fantastic back and forth, ending with a bang!

Highly recommended watch if you haven't seen it already! And if you have... just watch it again! It's worth it!

The Kiev Major was wonderful for the matches but what stood out the most is definitely the success of SG e-sports, the first South American team that fought their way into a major competition. This is their deciding third game against a sweating Evil Geniuses.

Up until this tournament most pro teams were were formed in North America, Europe and South East Asia, with South America albeit high player numbers being considered sub-par to the established elite. SG e-sports managed to turn this sentiment around with their incredible performance. Beating, against all odds, another major pro team in the previous round and showing the resilience, teamwork and dedication of world class.
The most exciting and disputed match of the Kiev Major and one of the best matches of 2017, with incredible plays from both teams. A match that will stay forever in our hearts.
