As if nothing could surprise us at Midas Mode 2.0, the North American team representing beastcoast created a situation that has never happened in a Dota tournament.
The competition day begins with the first round of the tournament. El Classico match between TI3 Alliance champion vs TI1 champion Na`Vi. The series features familiar heroes from the TI champions, like Akke’s Keeper of the Light and AdmiralBulldog’s Nature’s Prophet. Those are the heroes that helped them defeat their arch rival in the TI3 finals.
Moving on to the NA group stage, J.Storm has their first match against Anvorgesa and they use beastcoast’s stand-in Brax. The final series of the day was scheduled to be a match between beastcoast and Fighting Peppegas, however as they were about to enter the draft phase, the beastcoast players announced that the team had disbanded and would not play the final series.
While this lineup is not official beastcoast – only used in this tournament – this move was seen as a shock in the Dota 2 community. Forced to find a quick solution, the organizers quickly created the lineup. all casters to ensure the event runs on schedule. This caster team consists of Owen “ODPixel” Davies, Kyle Freedman, Gareth Bateson, Kevin “Purge” Godec and Alex “Sheepsticked” Roberts – beastcoast streamer used to stand-in for any team in case of an emergency.
Fighitng Pepegas won 2-0 to advance to the North American semi-finals with Anvorgesa. TI3 Alliance champions and J.Storm are the first teams to make it to the finals of Midas Mode 2.0 and will compete on September 29 to take home first place for their region.
