[b]Team Zenith defeated Australian team iMMunity in a pitched game lasting for about 2 hours to advance into the top 16 of the MYM Prime Defending 4 international DoTA tournament.[/b]

Zenith drafted Nerubian Assassin (Ice), Sand King (xMusiCa), Sniper (ToFuBoi), Twin Head Dragon (Lux) and Warlock (Ant). iMMunity (iM) drafted Doom Bringer (Skribblez), Earthshaker (DeS), Queen of Pain (ZLK), Venomancer (HerBz) and Viper (hans).

The full replay is not available, as HerBz from iMMunity was disconnected about 48 minutes into the game and the game was resumed from a save game. Fortunately, “Skribblez” has posted a screenshot of the final scoreboard, of which you can view [url=http://www.gamesync.net/system/files/images/2007-03-20_zenith_vs_im.jpg]here[/url].

According to the final scoreboard screenshot, the game ended at the 1 hour 55 minute mark, with Zenith having 51 hero kills, just one more than iMMunity, who got 50 hero kills.

“Skribblez” also [url=http://www.meetyourmakers.com/en/demos/8543.html#72815]provided[/url] a brief description of the game after the reload in a comment in the MYM Replay Center. He said that iM’s Queen of Pain and Zenith’s Sniper became “huge” and that iM started to pull ahead but were eventually beaten back by Zenith.

“After a successful gank by iM killing 2 or so hero[es], Zenith Sniper bought back quickly and responded, swiftly catching out Viper in mid and putting us heavily on the defensive, grabbing 2 sets of raxes and proceeded to split push for win,” explained “Skribblez” on how iM lost their late game advantage.

iMMunity showed great sportsmanship after their loss. “freelancehans” [url=http://www.meetyourmakers.com/en/demos/8543.html#72812]said[/url], “[W]ell played Zenith, best game we’ve had in a long time”, while “Skribblez” [url=http://www.meetyourmakers.com/en/demos/8543.html#72797]said[/url] that the match was a “great game” and wished Zenith “best of luck for rest of tournament”.
