Dota 2 Chongqing Major: Team Secret is crowned

The Chongqing Major final featured two teams that had been in the Kuala Lumpur Major finals before: Team Secret and Virtus.pro. In the previous period, Virtus.pro defeated Secret in the final and recently, pushed his opponent to the losing bracket. Obviously, Secret yearns to avenge the Russian bears.

Secret entered the series strong after winning against EG in the final loser bracket, and VP didn’t seem ready. Team Russia decided to pick Oracle – a choice that didn’t really help in the draft. Nisha’s Phantom Lancer completely kills VP and forces the opponent to type GG for 21 minutes into the game.

Game 1 may have been fast, but game 2 broke the record, becoming the fastest match of the tournament, when GG appeared on the board after just 17 minutes. The perfect Drow strategy from Secret with Luna support and aura everywhere overwhelms Virtus.pro. With a 2-0 lead, Secret is looking to make this the fastest Major final in history.

Unfortunately, Virtus.pro is not ready to create this ‘record’ before Secret. After 20 minutes of fighting and losing a barrack, VP fought back against his opponent and teamwipe Secret. The match began a period of tension between the two sides. Virtus.pro finally unhooked a game, claiming an important third game for itself.

Game 4 is an opportunity for Virtus.pro to equalize the series and push the final to the decisive 5th game. Unfortunately, Secret doesn’t want to be defeated again by VP.

After more than 30 minutes of play, Team Secret delivered the finishing blow at Roshan, ending Virtus.pro with a score of 3-1 and winning the Chongqing Major.
