Dota 2: Miracle- became the MVP of MDL Macau, helping Team Liquid win

Another MDL tournament has come to an end and it has seen Team Liquid revive – the team that almost disappeared in the first half of this Dota 2 season.

“After a long break, it feels good to be back with the team,” said Amer ‘Miracle-‘ Al-Barkawai after accepting the MVP award. Miracle’s journey at MDL Macau 2019 is magical. From the group stage to the final, he was one of the most important factors in Liquid’s success. Team Europe took first place in the group and started the playoffs in the winner’s bracket: Liquid beat Royal Never Give Up in the semifinals and Evil Geniuses in the winner’s bracket final and grand final.

EG dropped to the losing bracket of the previous day but made a successful comeback after taking down Virtus.pro. Regrettably, Liquid continued to excel during the day. Game 1 of the grand final ended in 23 minutes, with Miracle- holding the Phantom Assassin in the safe lane. While EG’s Arteezy controlled Pangolier with difficulty from start to finish, Miracle- gained the support of the entire team and quickly completed Satanic, Battle Fury, Desolator in 22 minutes, ending the game with a 19-0- 6 K/D/A.

Game 2 is faster. Liquid won in 20 minutes to take a 2-0 lead in the BO5 series. However, the team cannot defeat the opponent. EG responded in game 3 with a quick push formation with RTZ holding PA, pushing into Liquid’s tier 3 turret from the 11th minute. EG’s Chen-Enigma-Kunkka pushed Liquid into game 4. EG used the same draft this time around. , with Chen and PA, forcing expert KuroKy to ban Enigma, while getting himself Troll Warlord and Magnus. Miracle- controls Troll in safelane, and MATUMBAMAN goes mid with Lone Druid. Team Liquid kept the networth advantage throughout the match and continuously put pressure on EG, to end the finals with a 3-1 victory.

Both Liquid and Evil Geniuses will meet again at DreamLeague Season 11, StockHolm Major. This will also be Liquid’s first full-person DPC tournament. Liquid missed the first Major of the season and had to play the Chongqing Major as a stand-in due to Miracle- being unable to attend due to personal reasons.
