Dread, accepting the challenge of the Chinese team, in response invited ChuaN to play a game in ping pong, however that destined to happen only after the match in tournament conditions. The bet on Shadow Fiend and Phantom Lancer of HellRaises did not work, while the Chinese idea led by Gyrocopter showed itself at its glory.

But the choice was correct. An interesting pick from our guys of Ursa, Pugna and Undying, could not be guessed by MY. There were a lot of fights and minimum farming. An excellent game goddam played on Rubick and Dread was great on Ursa. Team’s cooperation, competent movements and right decisions allowed HellRaisers to win.

Despite that Americans chose HellRaisers, «lions» did not use their only opportunity to refuse and accepted the challenge. From the beginning of the game, HellRaisers started to gain advantage.
