After we saw 2 more teams eliminated at DAC 2018 on April 6th today, the stage is ready for the final win bracket between Mineski and LGD Gaming, with the winner going to the finals and top 2 in the league.
It’s been a long journey for Mineski and LGD Gaming to reach the finals of the winner’s bracket – they’ve faced and beaten many big names. The Southeast Asian team hopes to leave a strong mark after performing poorly at last year’s PGL Open Bucharest. No one expected Mineski to perform so melancholy. But the barrier for Mineski to get to the top 2 is LGD, the team also wants to mark their return. Team China hasn’t had a great run in this DPC season and this is their chance.
Mineski’s draft was perfect, picking Huskar and Oracle in the opening match of the BO3 series. From the very beginning, it was clear that LGD couldn’t fight team fights. And only at 17 minutes, LGD lost a barrack. Less than 5 minutes later, Mineski took down the mid lane barrack without difficulty. The game almost ended with LGD when the members clustered in the house. The Chinese team quickly knocked GG and Mineski won game 1.
The next match saw a better journey from the Chinese team as their supports continuously rotated well to take advantage of the early game. But as the match dragged on, Mineski gradually found a foothold and responded. The two sides constantly struggled, continuously boughtback and continuously fought until the clock hand neared 60 minutes. Devine Rapier was passed hands, from player to player, team to team. But after more than an hour of the match, Mineski was able to end the game when LGD lost 4 people. This is also the final teamfight phase of the series.

Mineski’s flag flew and the team qualified for the finals of DAC 2018 – making their own Dota 2 history as the first Southeast Asian team to qualify for the final of a Major. The team also secured the top 2 of the Major and will move up to 4th in the DPC rankings. As for LGD, their journey is not over as the boys still have a chance to reach the final from the losing bracket final – their opponent will be Virtus.pro tomorrow.
Mineski are the first Grand Finalists of DAC 2018. They are also the first EVER SEA team to make the Grand Final of a Dota 2 Major. Congratulations.
History has been made and no better way to do it than with a team that has 2 SEA Legends – Mushi and iceiceice. #DAC2018 #DPC #Dota2
