Team Zenith defeated dN* in a very close finish following a mistake made by Zenith’s Omniknight, played by GPS. GPS attempted to teleport in the middle of dN*’s push, which caused his death and allowed dN* to push into Zenith’s base. At the moment Zenith destroyed dN*’s World Tree, dN* had one of Zenith’s two Throne towers down.

Meanwhile, in the third/fourth placing match, Em Ai Two (Mi2) defeated Micronology easily in a 39 minute game, using an early game push strategy.

Mr Koh Su Hock, Area Sales Manager of Intel Technology Asia Pte Ltd, was on hand to present the finalists their prizes.
