Mir’s team won the PDD Invitational tournament (Beta)

Mir’s RLP team started with a 1-0 advantage because they were the grand finalists from the winner bracket. This made a huge impact on Rivah’s team when they decided which team they’d play with for the grand final BO5. They finally opted for playing as double healer + warlock as they felt it was safer for them to deal with Mir’s RLP. But they actually weren’t expecting Klimp to come up with a very consistent Unstable Affliction specialization to counter Hydra’s dispels, creating more opportunities for them to set up their pressure together with Mir.

The Grand Final’s first game was intense and the longest game of this short series (more than 4 minutes) during which Mir proved once more that he was a brilliant player, mixing his great decision-making with confidence, prediction (Cloaking Hydra’s Fear), and smart cooldown use. After a long game during which they alternatively swapped between the Tazar and Hydra priest, they finally set up their kill window with Mir’s second Blind (used on Hydra) which allowed the RLP to finish off Tazar. 2-0

The second game lasted barely more than one minute after Mir’s first opener. An intense minute during which they focused their pressure on Gucci with an ideal opener (Step Cheap Shot on Gucci, followed by Blind on Hydra which he trinketed into a nice Deathcoil+Fear from Klimp. Later on, Gucci used his PVP trinket on Mir’s second Kidney, but Hydra probably made a wrong move by casting mana burns on Chas and took a full Fear from Klimp, allowing the RLP to finish off Gucci who died from the insane pressure (DoTs, 5x wounds, no NS, and no healing options). 3-0

Congratulations to the 4 champions of this team, this victory was well deserved and after this, the teams are now tied in the tournament series with one victory each! Let’s hope that we’ll get the opportunity to watch them facing each other a third time to decide which team of these two is the best!
