WC3 - eer0 vs. Moon - Grand-Final - DreamHack WarCraft 3 Open: Fall 2021 - Asia

might very well be this one making it through remind in the semi-final and lawlite in the quarterfinal a man that needs no further introduction the fifth race in the upper right hand side is moon [Music] on the bottom left in the yellow defeating chemical and uh focus back to back two koreans out of his way will it be the third one for the second championship he's one two zero [Music] [Applause] [Music] a player's forces are under attack let's go remo we got a dk ghoul opening for the undead and to no surprise we got a keeper of the grove archer opening for mode yeah this game starts off horribly for moon right away the keeper is delayed and we didn't quite see it on camera but i can tell you what happened he canceled the first moon well on accident hitting the escape key when he didn't mean to and then didn't have enough lumber to make the next moon well so the first moon was ultra delayed slowing down his keeper his creeping his archer everything normally the keeper's supposed to be out faster than dk he had was the other way around one two zero scouted this and he must have been confused because what was going on why the hell was everything so late and the reason was he canceled the moon well on accident which is a bit of nerves showing and uh not the greatest start here for the crew yeah the second like we were hoping that he was fixes easy mistakes from the semi-final but they're intensifying apparently like yeah not enabling an orb to not do damage and to not have the crowd control is one thing ruining pretty much your entire build and every single timing that's gonna have a huge ripple effect on moon [Music] and that means now his level two is going to be quite delayed he did take out the acolyte got closer there but doesn't quite have it yet wanted us playing the build that happy pioneered here on this map creeping either one cam with a dk and harassing then or instant harassing and using backpack on the ghouls to keep creeping in the meantime to level up the dk more so and you know keep up the pressure coil flies into uh nowhere there the wisp actually survives the timing a little bit off but moon also knows about this possibility so he's gonna send the keeper south looking for the ghouls which are creeping and now multitasking gonna be needed by our two players and we know that moon excels at that but so far whisk goes down that's level two for the dk maybe i jinxed it here a little ah the width juggling is very very good a lot better than we've seen from remind yesterday for example one wisp is okay you still have to move all your way back with the dk that is a lot of time invested but if you get level two you're totally fine with that that is your number one objective alongside maybe if you're feeling good delaying level three for the keeper of the grove and that's pretty much what's happening okay one two zero can you get that last hit not too sure players forces are under attack you quite get it it was actually archer getting the last hit right there moon closes around quickly the dk exposed himself a few little arrows by moon losing a few uh seconds at the beginning and also losing some whisk but here now when it matters he closes the surround and will be able to force the tp and that was the first little error by one two zero exposing himself too much to surround possibility was perhaps looking at his ghouls which were creeping so at the start of this series we have some slight mistakes on both sides nerves for the two world champions three wgl titles here combined as well as three dreamhack titles as well as moon is of course our champion from early last year in anaheim as well where do we go from here telly staff love that replenishment potion really good moon can't complain about the drops too much but same goes for one to zero whose item luck just carries on with the claws and the mantle what can we expect strategy wise here i mean for for happy versus foggy uh we saw that in the european grand final with a lot of guards later is that expectable here as well or do we have a little bit of a different meta in the asian region oh fire's looking very similar it's the keeper demon drive expansion against the dk lich tier 3 and then uh fiend destroyer army i suppose question is i think the most interesting one is 120 also gonna completely move away from pushes and go for his own counter expansion or is he going to be more aggressive because we saw that in europe happy basically never ever all ends anymore he always tries to go for the counter expansion doesn't want to give us a point the opportunity to hold the push and then win the game that led to foggy being ultra greedy trying to bank entirely on economy and taking quite a few risks in doing so i wonder what state these two are in foggy and happy of course know each other inside out have played each other so many times happy i mean moon and one two zero also have played each other quite a bit but not to the same extent not the same amount and now the keeper gonna find an opening here to do some damage in the main the ghouls are all so hurt because they were creeping their shop in the meantime quick reaction with the staff by one two zero one ghoul goes down but he shuts the door that could have been an absolute disaster if not for the staff here forces are under attack that cool might still go down not quite gonna be using the second coil on it oh it's close but the entangle wears off okay cool survives only one ghoul dying that's completely fine for one two three it's a pretty good early game honestly because the tree of life timing for the expansion isn't all that fast the d minor is creeping and he's gonna need those levels wants to be level three as soon as possible but the expansion here really not that quick indeed we do have nature's blessings so we can take a couple of more punches here with the seven armor but the army needs to be here to help with that crimp spot there's not a limited region from the trees but the wisps are here now army is following makes his way from the right-hand side to the upper left-hand side that is of course a lot of distance and does take some time in the meantime one to zero with the dk3 all ready lich is out too waiting for the tier three oh it's actually done cool frenzy has been cued and i guess he's ready soon while moon is still building his tech it's like tier 2 production and that means frenzy and destroyer form should be finishing at the same time as the mining is going to start here at the expo and the demand doesn't have level three yet he needs to go for one more camp one to zero has a window here to get quite something done but if you don't have frenzy and destroyer form yet you also don't feel too encouraged to do so next to the tavern the tinker is the possible choice to go all in which one does your mate choose to do we haven't seen that too often recently was a big fan of the naga against human might be the case here but okay no expansion it is pretty much an all-in makes its way to the tavern naga it is so it has been playing a lot of naga there we saw it also against human happy much prefers the tinker but here we have the naga once again one to zero really likes the mass ao and the mass range focus fire dps d minor got level three but got no good items no ring no hp no circlet this demand is pretty squishy cool and so are the arches nice nova gets a double kill right off the bat and that is of course lower damage moon's trying to fortify this but the ghoul said nope and the naga being in focus fire frost armor is helping out being the spell focus fire intensifies ghouls are there to block create some distance so the naga is safe actually forces a staff off of moon scroll of the bees these ghouls are wrecking balls i need to come in here with a whisper the detonate but the naga with the slow also making that difficult still lots of bonus damage here on the undead army and moon doesn't have the big supply yet he's down in tech he only has tier two so he needs the bigger army he needs at least six supply dryads but right now only 48. okay in the hands of moon dryads are like tier two and a half but so far they are suffering quite a bit how long will the scroll of the beast be active it's about to pop out second potion used already got a new one here oh it doesn't have a new one here staff is also on cooldown maybe the potential for one to zero to get some kills if but he's also running dry no mana and the expo is still up even though it's undefended [Music] and one is starting to take more and more footing here in this game he's fully mining once again at the expo and took out some ghouls the ghouls are the easy targets to take out once the dk runs out of mana which should occur there going to go for a heal scores away and involve potion gonna need that for the demon hunter the heel potion did a good job so far but one two zero this time is running out here yeah the longer this expansion runs the better it's gonna be for moon was about to ask you like how long does he still have because there's no transition there's no counter expansion his ghouls are running low his mana is pretty low i'm not too sure maybe mood has already weathered the storm but there is no orbs yet so the big damage isn't here hero kill is still an opportunity invo potion waiting for the last second now seven second safety goes for the keeper there is supposed to be a hero kill here one to zero side but moon keeps his hero safe for now or at least for a long time now its consumables gone it's one dry had gone and it's some time for one two zero to put on the screws on this expansion once again yeah when is there anything the timing here perfectly before it's too late look at the moon juice mooney just can't heal anymore he has to rely on potions and there's not too many in that shop anymore he is barely hanging on here potion on the keeper again he has to hold this expansion if this expansion falls moon loses this game yeah moon lost so many items here keeper and that's the kill right there he was trying to prevent it but uh no chance this expansion wasn't fortified enough and with the pretty much the last breath of this push we got a winner and that's one two zero good game by one two zero he's not going for the late game counter expansion like happy always does no he sees the weakness he sees the timing goes for the execute with his naga third patented style even refusing to make destroyers there for a long time still working out pretty well two problems there for moon this game first the expansion was really late normally you want to have that mining way sooner and go higher up in supply and second the targeting i think could have been a lot better a lot of ghouls survive for a very long time which shouldn't be the case he targeted fiends a lot and also heroes going for quite a bit of hero kill including the naga if he targets the ghouls right away and kites properly i think that game would look much better for him this is gonna what i thought might happen if they keep on playing at the level that they've been playing in this tournament because like i said i thought one two zero was more impressive up to this point i mean of course moon three won against remind that was also pretty good but there were some mistakes in there and definitely in that game as well here just now i do want to say though i do think uh moon found pretty poor items like wanna mana stealing with demon is just feels pretty awful to find that and also the crystal ball like did absolutely nothing for him so he ended up selling the crystal ball immediately but kept the one on my stealing i would have like to see a sale on that as well maybe buy more potions instead and like break up keep maybe a bit earlier that timing of one to zero hits at the perfect time if he hits like 10 seconds later then the ap is up we're looking at a very different game so he's absolutely on point with those attacks yeah that was the surgical strike that he needed and speaks a lot i think about him if he's that comfortable in these pushes like he doesn't feel the need for an expansion to drag this out okay i have this and this and this and i put everything together and i push and you've no chance if i execute this correctly yeah definitely look very confident here also the map doing him favors there of course the natural on concealed hill very hard to take you have to delay that on other maps gonna be a lot easier for the knight off so might be looking different there one more thing to consider is also um you know the matchup strength for the different players we saw moon really good knife mirror absolutely amazing against orc against undead not always in top top excuse me top killer shape and it's also because of the competition in the region right what is of course always there and he's always a big contender but outside of one to zero there's simply not that many undeads on the top level the practice that he gets in against top under is rather low and i feel like build wise and timing wise a lot of things that could have been better for moon of course it also started horribly with him by accident canceling the moon well which is like a definitely feels bad man and that threw him back a lot in that game nothing was really clicking too much the cogs haven't quite found the way to work together perfectly yet for moon but it's a long series and we're only at the beginning yeah especially like if he's not making this mistake and everything is delayed he gets these seconds that he needed to establish what todd said that ap that extra dryad whatever like maybe we should take that with a little bit of grain of salt it was also one two zero map so now the ball is in moon's cord it is tight hunters if he's losing this one too that's a little stressful right there for him but okay you should just shut this off and play this from scratch yeah sometimes it's easier to say than done though that is for sure but at a moment i don't expect too much emotion or you know for him to start crumbling under the pressure like he he knows what he needs to do not just in game with the build order and creep route and everything but also with staying calm and trying to play his best yeah one two zero two days just looking so incredible like that series against call of against uh focus was incredible and now he opened up the best of five here with uh with the banger of the performance as well so he's got all the momentum in the world and it's full moon to try and turn this around entirely i agree there was no big flaw in one to zero this entire day which is really really impressive shows like he really wants this shows like he comes up prepared it was of course a little easier for him to prepare for a potential grand final because he knew it's gonna be a night elf for moon he wasn't really sure is it orc is it the undead should he really prepare for this already but alright then we got map number two running and that is tight hunters let's go we have moon on the upper left-hand side probably going for keeper once again everything else would be quite surprising one two zero what are you going to do now there is an option for an early undead expansion here yeah absolutely the fast expansion or the easy expansion isn't just nice for the knight to take on this map also for the undead that's something that happy is absolutely refusing to do over in europe but for 120 we have seen these fast expos a lot throughout his career not just in this matchup but also in all others and this opens up the way also for different first heroes demon hunter first could have been a choice if you really expect a fast expo from the undead but of course there's no way to be sure so we have the standard hero choices once again dk against keeper yeah standard for sure got the same opening for one to zero with the ghouls indicated by the two ziggurats here now both are scouting both know okay there are cheeky options moon ap is rarely seen but always an option there for sure can he establish everything a little faster can you take a little more experience off the map will he in general have a better start into this map these are all the questions for the early game putting some damage on the wisp already kind of a big deal that means now we can one shot it with the coil and the whis still needs to figure out what's going on needs to see what's happening also in the dk's inventory keep it with entangle first right away shows his hand very early on so that means no trends for a little bit and more creeping oh of course dk in the middle of the map trying to disrupt this early level two as good as possible and then go for the wisp punt here [Applause] same early game plan for one two zero gonna harass right away with the dk and gonna use the ghouls in the meantime to creep up other camps so earlier it was like three wisps going down which is a little more than you want to have die in the early it's only going down so far it's a little extreme it's not it's not super extreme it's just it's just it's a little bit uncomfortable that's two wisps and a third all right takes the dk's entire mana pool so also comes at a price and now it's a little bit harder for one to zero here to keep harassing he does have treant and entangle unlocked it's cool to see by the way that one to zero was never really affected by that early wgl group stage loss i thought okay maybe maybe he's plummeting after this after having an amazing year so far nope it's just okay that was a full out night elf group uh i didn't lose a single match and still was eliminated with three draws in three matches and then there's dreamhack and he shows up in shape again which is really really nice that he's not getting influenced by this and again the race for the staff man it has become so important in so many matchups to get the mobility with this item and one two zero picks it up trying to creep up a little more great movement here i find really by one two zero gets the next whisk and that one wasn't even detonated so uh four wisps you got all the experience right not a single one detonated moons quick reaction mechanics could be a bit better but of course also he's doing things in the meantime he's creeping up at the orange and getting some good experience here planet of energy is amazing for moon well healing and it's gonna be a fast level three keeper this time yeah the efficiency we've seen it in the semi-final if you drop that item then get some mana potions or use the moon wells that's a lot but one two zero is claiming more of this map this one unique camp in the middle goes to him uncontested moon just going for a little green so the trades are certainly better for one to zero at the moment and once the possible second heroes are it's also relatively easy to go for the marketplace i do favor one two zero a little bit after this early game really good movement i really love this the way he's harassing and protecting his creeping is protecting the staff he's scouting with the skellies he falls back sends all the vulnerable ghouls back into the main and use the skelly's in the dk to now get the level 3 for the big level up timing not the most amazing items here for him no claws no bonus intelligence but it's good enough i guess dk's level 3 and that is what he wanted as moon now is easily clearing out the natural and this should be a much faster expansion this time for the night for sure can some extra experience be stolen here this tight warrior no i think one two zeroes to confirm first there is an expansion and we'll see it here now can't really it's another wisp kill man the detonates absolutely not on point yeah that's five wisps not getting detonated at point blank point blank range of course it can be pretty hard but there are also some longer ones in there of course high criticism but if it keeps on happening you know it might feed the dk a little too high mana lumber should be pretty low for moon after this or cost resources if you really want to spend into anything else might delay the tech even if not the tier 3 attack and maybe some unit tag and we've seen in europe how important upgrades can be in this matchup ancient of wind wait what what mass air it's back ladies and gentlemen okay okay the thing is once there was just in the main and if he was paying close attention he saw that there's no hunter's hall so there is a bit of a tell if he was paying attention you're under attack what's the reaction we're gonna keep an eye on the production of one two zero is it gonna be a fiend switch is it gonna be web it's gonna be darks what's it gonna be keeper harass instantly defended here there's still a big ghoul push coming maybe he's happy at the moment to tear down this expansion tear down then rebuild but it's a oh fiend transition pretty much instantly it's so easy for moon here to level up this demon again level three demon for the mana burns gonna be crucial he's creeping up the lab right now with the keeper taking part he found some rings of protection double ring for the demon is actually really good would love to have more hp would love to have more armor you need to get some tankiness going on the demon getting the ruined racers here hallelujah there we go man you know when uh foggy found this item against happy not making too many references but it felt like this was exactly what he needed this tanky demon hunter high level disable the undead heroes as much as you can also add a lot of damage of course and one to zero goes for more creeping wants to slip higher up might be losing affinity or at least a coil belt of giant strength for him not the greatest and i don't see webb yet he's just building more feeds they may not have sniffed this out yet this is really not the meta anymore you only see it pretty much on ladder nowadays on the top level of play nobody really does it with that fairy dragon damage nerf it seemed like all the niles agreed well okay they're never gonna be playable anymore but moon here flipping the script he's gonna mix them in soon of course hippos first to load up all the archers and then we should be seeing harry dragons yeah damage is really an issue with this build as long as you don't have a lot more than your opponent and 120 seemingly knows now as wep is coming you really don't need that and this time smells like a counter expansion to me sex skull acolyte here good moon is that a timing ah ships in the night doesn't see it it's okay he's just continuing to harass the main again that could work out for one two zero and two base two base is absolutely playable for the undead we take out two ghouls here okay doing a bit of economic damage if the hippos can now fly over to the expansion and cancel this this could be pretty good yeah but yeah expo needs to be canceled very good movement by the d minor he gets over to the natural and gets the castle he must get the cancer two base two base is absolutely hopeless for mass air he's scared of a ghouls around as he does not have the staff relies on the air unit but the fiends are here the rest of the army is here he did decent damage but no cancel and he catches one hippo rider and the tower is in range that's one hippo rider going down right away that's for supply something that you don't always think about so uh it's gonna be a decent hit against the last hit i'm sure if you got the experience for this not sure either maybe tower dk close to four by now and yeah that's a crucial moment because uh you need this mass every single unit counts you need to overwhelm in a direct comparison the undead units are just stronger is he going to risk it he could try to risk it to fly in with the hippos but if he doesn't get the cancel he loses the hippos yeah the game's basically over yeah as we see the rare seal sanctuary by the way down here always nice to see wonderful islands where all the seals are hanging out so like to make some vacation there as well so that they removed us but not the seals yeah it's because uh it requires some special triggers and the map isn't strictly speaking uh you know standard map anymore i think that's no excuse the name one of the seals anyway after us one to zero i feel he's in complete control everything he does works out okay he gets an acolyte here now but this invis potion got him a little bit of information and an acolyte now instead of a bigger push into the ghouls into the expansion and now the destroyer is ready and the reactions for the undead are pretty damn good and moon feels a little uninspired at the moment if i may criticize the gold yeah it's staying just purely on mass air which there's gonna be very slim timing for him to win this game once one two zero gets to 70 supply fiends there's no way even with like 90 supply mass air you can't beat that many fiends so it's all about 1-0 fiend count moon will have to win this game before the fiend count gets out of control and there's still some time to do this because we only have a single crypt at the moment and what if you're still sitting at 50 now i like the choice here for him to not be greedy he knows all right the only way i'm going to lose this if it is if i'm getting overwhelmed let's just make a lot of themes right now we have the mask for moon what do you think about this demon at the second yes of course it's pretty great against the heroes but if you play mass air the kill counter was going crazy whenever this was paired with an alchemist instead of a demon hunter second so acid bomb to increase the little damage that the air does heal spray is also not too shabby but sometimes it feels if you don't have acid bomb then the undead just out heals you as it is a lot of single target damage and there's coil against that frost armor yeah that's the old-school way of playing it but uh d-minor has taken the alchemist spot in this strat for a little while now yeah the acid bomb does more damage but once you drain the dk out of mana and there's no more coils it ends up being much more damaged but the demon hunter provides undirectly in my opinion may have the first big fight of the game now keeping over to the expansion is one to zero he doesn't have that high fiend count yet so i think this might be the last chance really for moon to win this game he has to do huge damage perhaps win straight out with his attack right took out the statue right away that was a big one so no regeneration at the moment against the demon hunter this could be a dry undead soon moon is losing a couple of units but that's the nature of it and more integral resulting in more kills this dispel doesn't really work doesn't really help no entangle after this one though but there's the hillscrofable standing on blight here for one to zero is great also you still get a health stone which is gonna be quite helpful on the lips here soon possibly double heel potion here is amazing yeah moon can take out fiends fairly well but how is he ever gonna take out the heroes standing on blight it seems pretty much impossible he realized that as well two fairy dragons and flare form will be taken care of too that is level four litch that's pretty powerful and moon has to rebuild he lost like 20 supply there he's still not tier three and now the unit that did the most damage the hippo riders they're gone and they will be replaced with fairies who uh just tickle very strongly and now we have the double for one two zero now you can spam out those fiends does he have upgrades already one one not the greatest but decent enough slap two two on those fiends and these fairy dragons are not gonna cut it anymore nope i think moon lost his timing and as much of a genius as he is i think the window to transition may have closed and don't want to be a debbie downer but this is looking checkmate already and this has been the other way around so many times in this matchup when 120 was trying everything and had these cheeky plays and stuff but moon defended absolutely everything and now it's one to zero playing relatively standard strategy wise just a little better and that seems to be enough at the first two maps here but all right maybe he can take some good kills of one to zero here dk 50 saves the fiend that was nice destroyer not here anymore so ah there it is sorry um and tangle can still reign supreme for now that was decent for moon finding one or two kills there's only one kill actually at the end of the day keeper mana being low couldn't chase too well with entangle and now mass stats use the fiends with upgrades the high level here of the destroyer wanted to test the better more well-rounded higher-tech army yeah that's a lot of advantages for armies if they're better more well-rounded and higher attacked what does moon have usually he has the mass but if we look at look at the supply then 1-0 has that advantage as well trying to steal the red camp item this is the best position moon can ask for i want to do is feeling so confident he knows he's begging for a creep jack up there but he picks up the item tp's out yeah he has some losses but whatever it's still good enough and he got the cat gas pipe hells yeah absolute dream one fiend will probably be caught if he's not saving that one but man for the cat gas pipe you do everything as an undead this is the absolute dream even saves this one thanks to a single dispel and moon is not finding any openings he's not like he's trying to claw but there's no surface to climb to take the next fight here the mana player against the statue is doing decent damage but only costs like 10 mana or something to activate that spell so it doesn't do that much return damage unlike for example sorcerer's slow and the webs now leading quickly to kills even with mana flare form the theme dps here is pretty good one more upgrade with a bit of orb of corruption coming in every now and then more more units going down on both sides really but i don't see a huge level up here for moon a couple of fiends falling this is nice but it's still 64 pop it's still backed up by an expansion this is not the crucial losses that 100 would have had on one base because then it really hurts to lose a fiend here it's kind of fine and this is another tp and the longer the game goes moon strategy is getting worse and worse and worse we don't there's a teller a player's forces are under a misclick it's only one it's kind of weird um italians would die very quickly here throwing in a cup a bit of fairy fire could be nice but what's the range on fairy fire i think you gotta get quite close and then you're dead like i'm the biggest fan of minus arbor probably in the world uh but i think this to me this looks like a miss click only way i can see moon winning this game is he establishes third base which he's trying and then he keeps playing hit and run gets economically ahead gets tier three gets master training gets cyclone and somehow makes sure that there's not too many destroyers that's a lot of ifs and buts and maybes but uh yeah he's gonna have to hope for some sort of divine help to win this game good thing is that moon is exactly like is the best at exactly that stay alive find ways out of impossible situations play an economy advantage create an economy advantage and keep that economy advantage that's why he got these crazy games and twisted meadows it's a little bit of a different map here and one two zero nose sending that acolyte and i think he just wants to end this now five five undead heroes yeah we have 80 supply fiend army with destroyers i think if moon had 100 supply he still couldn't beat this army right now and for that reason he's not trying to fight that's smart he's just going for the counter attack but with fairies you don't exactly kill buildings really fast so this is going to take some time you don't even kill acolytes very fast he got one two three now trades the tp okay creates a temporary two base one base situation but only for so long yeah once there knows where the tree of life is was just attacking it a moment ago could have stuck around a bit longer to get the kill but he's gonna come over once again to finish the job that he started moon has five fairy dragons in flare form in the base while going for the south seems uh certain to be a little mistake they're going for another tp in the middle once they're not having a tp anymore he's a little bit worried that the next run by might cost him if run by happened into the main base could mean a lot of acolytes going down and what do their nose he doesn't have to risk anything he's in a wonderful position right now why jeopardize this lead trying to expand if it works noise if not why not forces moon out and he's really building like and there's a second talon a player's forces are under very much tag on dk staff still available and he's going tier three all right yeah i like that who has to buy a lot more time keep playing that hit and run keep distracting one two zero and maybe with or plus cyclone something can be done okay finds that expansion again it's once again not defending this but tree and run buys not causing any issues really and he might not even do too much echo damage these two expansions were so expensive maybe a tp versus tp trade here once again not a bad trade for moon by any means would have loved to see a sapper in this if you came in here with one or two zappers could have been perhaps a lot more damage but uh actions that's really nice that's a supply block against one two zero now he can't even remake the acolytes good move by moon he remade another tree of life in his own main base he's playing this situation about as well as you can but the end of the day he still has mass varies against mass means that tree is being found as well though okay moon trying to backstab or is it just a counter attack the tree is buying some time looks like a counter attack again a player's forces how different this is from all the games okay tp tp let's get out of here he morphs everything they're all stacked up in the main look at that yeah yeah what is there still supply block she's still not making more ziggurats it's time to become painful he's only mining off of his main base moon is clawing his way back into this man he wants zero he needs to stop looking for the expansion he's to intercept the ferries run around the middle and get his expo mining again and it's this is exactly what i mean moon is just the best i think he's not rebuilding them because the main base expires soon and then he's going to send them over um but yeah 80 supply would be kind of decent to have at some point anyway but moon man three different screens treon's right hand side heroes mid ferry's left hand side in two groups yeah i think one zero has to establish his expansion down there and then expand again in the bottom left gold mine i think if he expands top right he's gonna get pulled apart too much by moon who's got trees of life well not everywhere but there's a new one this is the fifth or sixth real life this game so with the fairies we criticized the damage now moon is at tier three could go orb and then on two heroes that would add a lot to it could also go bears maybe but that's a long transition even intercepting one of the acolytes here every little thing that matters catches a fiend and almost take that one out on the other side oh yeah level five and moon wow i was able to maneuver into this position it's still not a great one but it's a playable one i guess demon hunter blocks a a lot there's a heal scroll might need a stab soon oh there was a big nuke but the rune braces paid dividends after dividend after dividend but he needs to get out yep exactly past the staff so he can't get back in just a little bit moon still at 72 and one to zero seemingly falling apart it has to be the heroes here again carl nova but it doesn't really scratch the surface of this demon hunter he apparently the goat did it again oh my god come back it's not over yet though once again moon can kill the unit's pretty easy but killing the heroes that's a different story once we have some statues coming into the mix again dk level six of course the ultimate not gonna do much it's gonna be the aura here instead glitch a little bit low hp but does have that heel potion still demon are gonna have to tp out can't afford to lose that hero and another fiend goes down dude wow moon with an unbelievable comeback this game he was dead to rights but now suddenly it's seems like he's got a lead again it's very reminiscent to me to the northern ielts game against remind where remind had a little bit of a lead and didn't know what to do with it and moon like step by step getting his way back knowing exactly okay i need to do this so to slow him down a little bit so he can't knock me out at that stage so at the same time i'm gonna slowly build an advantage at a certain point of the game and boom one fight can do the second tree of life coming up tree of eternity stays in the base which i like just to have access to the moon worlds makes so much sense to do guys are those two talents just the last resorts is keeping us home yeah i think you know they are watching at the trees and take care of them [Music] pick them for a rainy day you know you gotta gotta be careful do your investments if you text to talon master and at some point cyclones the dk one to zero doesn't expect it so the coil misses and he kills the ledge that would be insane next level preparation for that one two bracers have been absolutely amazing for moon players force moving out into the open once again exposing sort of his acolytes at the natural but anything happening there surround but staff out decent mana damage done there with the burn but this brilliance aura that's also an amazing item here for one to zero in this late stage yep it absolutely is true engine of war making sure that one two zero is not expanding in the bottom left i like that a lot we have one orb online now and wellspring those are the only two reasons for the tier three so far right there he's flying over to the natural he's looking again for some openings 100 now starting to split his army that could be dangerous that means his main force could be overpowered by these mass ferries we're flying in for some more economic damage there we go trion's on top of things as well dk's here couple of fiends lich comes in too in the shadow of the tower you don't really want to fight you know you have the advantage if you can take out a unit that would be nice but this time the dispel is ready doesn't change the fact that moon is is about to have three bases if this goes well two of these bases very far away from each other and the other one expired and moon is just playing this absolutely brilliantly he knows 1-0 will want to go to the top right so he's attacking the expansion once again once there's broke he's out of gold yep he uses his own trees as bait to create space for exactly this and is that yeah fairies and keeper demonic they don't deal with buildings too well but if they have time you know it works at some point steady destroys towers or something truly masterful moon is able to come back in this game literally everyone else would have lost already no exception so was there a mistake by one two zero to not finish it at one point i think one two zero was over aggressive against that next tree of life coming up i think you should have just solidified his base bottom left with more towers and just expanded again in the bottom left corner and then it doesn't matter if moon gets more bases i think that was his mistake here but currently progressive instead of going for a third base currently nobody is mining one to zero still has a statue is six five heroes and now true eternity is moving over if he finds that one fight and he can knock this down maybe he's the one oh he has no gold right otherwise i would say maybe he's the one operating with zappers tree is walking to the bottom right and moon is just everywhere yeah this is the base race now for moon he still can't win a fight he uh probably won't be able to this whole game so now it's all about buildings one to zero tp's out before you kill the tree of eternity that's a very questionable move maxilla was far from going down there not totally understanding that either he has a shade but he can't build anything he's supply blocked and that won't change all right number six that's actually relevant in this base race stage depends a little staff on the keeper and demon hunter is really good so one end tangle gets rid of death and decay like moon has the big edge here the thing is one to zero he always has to fall back to defend his buildings but he has a limited amount of health there's no repair going on there's no way to heal these buildings so to speak so little by little this base could be destroyed oh yeah and moon is mining again in a little time the cat goes pipe what that pains i could have sold the gauntlets and the pendant why are you selling carrick as pipe well maybe he thinks that that doesn't work i'm out anyway and i have no need for value over time i need everything now let's see how that works death and dk it doesn't even hit the tree of eternity what what's going on 1-0 what are you doing i'm sorry but hey once he really doesn't like this engine of war here maybe he gave up already maybe he's a little frustrated with this game knowing that it's not supposed to be the superior strategy and just got outplayed hard and it's starting again that it just can't be moved moon is bringing in all these ferries but also the rest of the army 4-0 is joining this is a great bait by one two series pretending like oh my arm isn't here come fight me but in the meantime the fiends are all swarming in oh that's a lot of fiends that's a lot of web and moon is getting caught the first time in a long time does have a tp no tp oh wow this is the fight for map number two demon hunter level five and a half no metamorphosis here will we see tranquility also ah not the case there is dust against hurt fiend so you can't rely on burrow too much demon hunter is super low keeper oh my the staff was on him he can't get him out and moon is losing the hero and that is the solution against death and decay moon down to 34. we were talking one to zero out and the pendulum swings back so moon what now level 70k man it seemed like moon deserved to win this game but great play here by one to zero great bait by pretending that his full army wasn't there and then coming in with the flank and when this arm under the army is so strong it only takes one misstep it only takes one catch for everything to go down speaking of catch themes finding more fairies up in the north keepers back from the tavern revived there but no mana to use any man you might not think that this was 15 armor or whatever it is in flare form melting dk staffing in to help with aura moon is losing so many of these fairies here just to fiends as the lips oh the wait where's the lips ah running home okay was dealing with the building here keep her in trouble again this time no kill thanks to the staff and it's a demon hunter to deal with this now but frost armor is kicking in too yeah demanding without orb at this stage in the game does no damage if he doesn't get any mana burns out and of course against the fiends he won't be able to use mana burn one two zero back in the saddle now it seems over at the natural however fiend's getting caught trying to take out the destroyer then he can use the entangle against the fiends takes off the destroyer and here's the reveal we're going to find somebody he's going to get level 6 here perhaps way back and forth like a ping-pong game it's it's still possible for both of them to get this with a genius move or to throw it with one simple mistake and we are approaching night elf ultimate territory jesus christ the lich with dark with death and decay took out the expansion in the north yeah man upon comes in slight mistake by one to three he needs to keep the dk away from the demon hunter at all times dude i can't believe he sold the cat gas pipe are you kidding me at this stage in the game the pendant actually does nothing and you can't spam manufacturers anymore level 7 which is crosstalk 2 maybe it's also good what's the cooldown death and decay it must be on cooldown for a while right right at this point another one or two minutes it's not that long of cooldown it's half through the cooldown right now okay yeah maybe a minute but maybe he doesn't even need that there's only one wisp here 35 minutes quite the thriller here on map two one two zero was supposed to have won this game a long time ago moon with some crazy tenacious play keeping his chances alive just never dust anymore to go for the fiends pretty damn broke okay what does it do if you kill the black citadel i guess not too much nobody used wants to prevent the level six night off heroes is the car but man these these rune braces throughout that game would love to have the set how much damage they prevented moon is out of bases moon is also out of gold and this shade what is it has a single shade is actually pretty helpful right now could use it to scout could use it to find where the night off is i think one zero might just be able to follow around the night of heroes and kill him now maybe but again mana is low doesn't have too much regen that one statue is crucial part of this army yeah can't lose that really you can't eat your fiends for mana if you need it but don't really want to well of course we got more more mono on day and hp with every night cycle here man looking forward to todd after this game breaking down every single important moment of it i bet todd is also losing his mind that he sold the character like how the hell could that happen anyways novas are available demon has to be careful oh super careful green producers are now on the keepers of the demon a lot more exposed dk level eight oh my god he loses the th and that is game everybody one two zero with three match points in a row what a game i was uh i don't think i'm gonna go for the whole breakdown of the game but yeah moon definitely clawed his way back into it and i think perhaps he should have just played the full on base raid and not try to you know run around and try to catch the units as much there was one moment he did it and it walked out pretty well these talents like what the hell was that just two talents sitting in the base the whole time like definitely used like three cyclones at the end did you see he didn't yeah i know but like you know he just saw the talents there the whole time doing absolutely nothing for like most of the game that was just really really weird at some point when moon was you know he was taking all of the bases that were on the map he does feel like he was in a position where if he only ever hits and run and he does it properly he should be perhaps winning this game but obviously you know it's easier said than done the shade was a great move i think by one two zero and he had great upgrades very high level heroes i was also a little bit uh triggered that he sold the the khadgar but i guess he didn't matter in the end he had too much army anyway feels like it was moon's game to take at one point and then one fight and one two zero takes it back after an advantage over a long time man cool back and forth we want to see more of that so hopefully moon is starting a comeback now but it's looking really really good for one of the strongest one two zeros that we've seen in a long time we take a little break a little rest for these competitors after this 35 minute banger and then we have one two zero match points [Music] [Music] [Music] uh [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] we are back with three match points for the undead could be two undead winners in dreamhack one in europe one in asia the one in europe was uh to be expected in asia i would say not so much going into this tournament i think if there was a top favorite people would have said moon in fact i know many people were predicting this one and he marched forward here into the grand final quite impressively but so far 1-0 seems to be coming out on top but we saw some moon moments of brilliance certainly on map too he was super far behind playing the mass air strategy which doesn't seem to be that good anymore was suffering or having issues rather with a two base play of the opponent but then with wonderful hit and run with amazing movement was perhaps in a winning position but it took only one mistake for one two zero to claim full control there once again that was a very fun game there between the two the second map and hopefully moon now can bring it back because this grand final still could have a lot in store for us i want three more maps between these usually it was moon creating challenges that one two zero was unable to overcome today seems a little bit different todd any final closing thoughts before map three uh moon he showed some good things but he's gonna have to be a little cleaner here in the details i don't want to see two talents sitting in this base for like 15 minutes uh i'm gonna be even more upset if that happens than if i see another undead selling khadgar swipe perfect let's go last refuge boom match points it is we got moon in the bottom left-hand side needs to win three maps now otherwise it's once again a silver medal for him as uh quite a few times recently especially in big tournaments wcg wgl and then wgl he was the one with the 2-0 lead now the shoe is on the other foot can he fight from downhill as well yeah absolutely can't do it i believe he hasn't really had a clean game so far gonna go with the keeper once again you know with the keeper normally you want to creep level two quickly clear out the natural at some point expand demon hunter dryads mass it's a pretty straightforward strategy that he didn't try to go for too much on the first map that was a strategy yes but the expansion timing was really late map two he takes a gamble with the mass air and it backfires this is something that can sometimes hurt your confidence a bit but there's still a very solid very reliable strategy available here timber yeah for sure and once again a couple of expansion spots if he wants to create long games heavy in economy he could do that lots of creeping here of course as well i got uh all fingers crossed that we don't see any creep shenanigans here as so often recently with the creeps pulled into each other and and snares and all that stuff but hey let's see definitely a possibility acolyte knows what's up answer number one keeper starts with the claw that's a feel-good moment for moon entangle first again really wants to take out these acolytes which once more might mean that creeping on beyond this point might not be too easy one to zero this time not going for backpack so the first time the dk probably just gonna be creeping with the ghouls solo and it might be a bit of a mistake that means now the keeper can in fact creep to level two fairly easily or just look to be aggressive himself as we see him moving across the map okay aggression early plus a couple of arches plus the attack will be queued as soon 1 0 is a little afraid of incoming aggression goes for the narrow tower in the base so not cutting all corners in the world was safe to the side and they know where they are and now how do they react keepers coming into the main that ghoul is a gift kind of weird that monster didn't put that in the back more quickly was he baiting us around maybe can he get this around no tower slow has worn off has the option to encircle the keeper oh what a sidestep by moon wow that was very nicely done gets away here with a bit of a black eye messy ask for sure telestaff is ready in five seconds that's exactly why he's here at the merchant expansion's coming up bottom right hand side that's a position that is to be expected it's either close to the big whoa foreign maybe you didn't see the wisp that's uh gonna be a bit painful here well i guess at the end of the day it's only one ghoul going down swinging at the end of the world i suppose if even that it's another ghoul soon i wanted to call a little too late whispering detonate another shot at the surround but with only four ghouls that is very hard to do uh yeah it's at the end of the world he didn't lose too much but it's like wasted time um he didn't get any experience in that it's also wasted time for the keeper though and i would argue level three for the keeper is more important than for the dk this level two for the dk is good enough already so one two zero is kind of preventing the keeper from creeping by pretending to taking a very greedy camp himself that's like some 4d chest right here but it's all display but it's also more time for moon's expansion so it's kind of like a triple edged sword i have no idea how that would look like in real life but we'll see what's better like kylo ren's board true oh archer's now getting caught that should be one going down here struggling a bit with the surrounds needs to get some workshop going with juan maybe gets the kill in the end just be a little patient and again no detonate that was to be expected he has his eyes everywhere on the map needs to creep now needs to fall back at some point to get that level three he's really really far away from that level three which he absolutely needs against the upcoming fiends t2 is done ultravision no second hero started yet a lot of ghouls how many is that nine still remaining one went down earlier so ten ghouls in total pretty heavy commitment here nice creeping by moon taking out this natural simultaneously and it's gonna get very close to level three with that okay but is it enough to create space for the demon hunter to creep there's the murk there's the lab there's the reds there's a couple of greens still there's both merchants kind of rare to see the stage of the game but to zero is absolutely obsessed with the laboratory i should be getting it now with the high priest dead already this is a lot easier to creep the hype is the biggest problem here usually in this camp with the inner fire and heal because as we all know inner fire is damn crazy good who would ever doubt that dreamer who'd ever argue against that they would not be in their right minds if they didn't now i am i don't know such people have a very nice sentry ward 1-0 doesn't see this this doesn't really assume that this is happening moon will have a lot of vision whenever there's an attack coming he gets both lanes covered so he knows exactly how to react it's also a classic play we see from onions nowadays once the keeper in the dk level three bring the ghouls home try to not lose any and then when the lich arrives try to harass the demon hunters creeping but yeah the sentry ward is giving great vision in the keeper he knows you can't really get any kills here but he's forcing the dk to stay home and the demon hunter safely creep once they're also aware of this scouting with the skellies trying to be a bit annoying both now playing very very nicely around around each other they learned a lot from the past two games well it's time to level this demon hunter there's no chance you win this without a high level demon hunter he's gonna be the carry the one you can rely on and wouldn't mind to see another rune bracer here of course oh there's plenty good items people soaked up the experience so demon didn't get much from it scourge bone times for the demon good but he's probably going to be focused a lot it's gonna have to run away all the time so the value here of this item really not that great unless he gets to bears but right now it's not about bears it's just about dryads and pumping and just staying on tier two and trying to survive yeah moon in general rather super dry and heavy than super bear heavy on the other side steals a great armada that is exceptional for every undead and again we're at the situation tier three done frenzy should be cute soon destroyer is coming oops going to be ready this time though and this is exactly the couple of seconds that moon is ahead in this map compared to concealed is the ap is there ready in position engine of war is ready in position this looks better for moon than map one and we still don't have wool frenzy started by the way this is all a delay here we go we'll fancy started now but half a minute behind destroyer form yep more seconds for moon to do more creeping you got some bonus hp on the d-mount you got lots of buns hp 850 hp on the demon really good health stone here would be tremendous get the ring as well for nine armor mana stone maybe you can trade with the undead who has a health stone but the attack is coming is gonna school frenzy gonna be finished when he needs it still in research stroll the beast again by the way it's coming out from the entire angle gold mine but too late to save this exchange protector did the spell most of the straw the beast here i guess heavy focus on the demon right away he has to go for the immortal potion getting surrounded right away there's no staff oh my god he could have killed him there maybe although a telestaff may have gotten him out of there scary moment though okay there's buffer buildings buffer units students getting taken out for my taste there's still a lot of ghouls but one two zero uh was only burned mana so far not too many units killed we're coming attack upgrades coming he's still at 50 moon reproducing with he has to hold on to this expansion otherwise this grand final is lost he's waiting for some reinforcements it's the berserker more dryads stays on tier two does he have a staff now yes and the potion as well is this the razor sharp timing we've seen one concealed or this is holdable we need to target the ghouls a little bit better look at that a lot of damage flying on the dk that's wasted damage demanding trouble again has to be staffed out right away didn't even get too much burns out oh my god last second before the fiend survives moon has the dust that's a bit stressful right now people getting targeted next lots of hero focus here on both sides keeper has to run away dryads being split moon of course a master at this more more ghouls are dropping low the d minor returns from the main kind of low hp but has a health potion still one to zero dropping low on all his heroes glitch might be going down mana potion too late this kind of a signature move from one to zero losing that with the coil in the air now the ghouls all hurt can you get some focus fire to take them out no tp's out with three super herd but the lich loss that's brutal that's a lot of time two fiends not part of this army on concealed we were able to see that 1-0 came back with a second attack is that still the case here total value skyrocketing for moon maybe he held big experience big item wars on battle jumps i'm taking too much damage from this camp which is important has used the heel scroll already to get everything back into fighting shape big ranged army here for moon cleans up the full camp before one two zero approaches runs into the creeps up on the high ground has that tp if necessary what is those times running out demon hunter again down to fifty percent null overseer causing some trouble moon some free shots here has to take out the ghouls gets the drive kill level two on the naga nuke intensifies demon hunter down to fifty percent is their staff ready yes there is and moon has it cool frenzy not in the battlefield anymore not on the battlefield anymore fiends and destroyers demon hunter comes back in freshly healed the piercing damage is adding up three on the ledge that's a big level up even if it's just for the stats now for one to zero has just shrunk so much he has the dust he gets the kills and moon has held and now he's looking in a marvelous position 1-0 doesn't have a tp anymore so this might be his final moments and iron getting targeted no way to save her oh in the potion transfer last second team are dropping low again he's pretty damn tanky though and there must be a staff there is a staff no staff for the dk first zero for one two zero falls end we have the gg and moon catching up yeah moon fighting back this is what we want to see here and i guess it's time to turn on the dryad mode here just pure dryads for the longest time i only tacked once the big attack had been defended already and this might be a better style for him to go into this is the main style that foggy has been using and finding you know i was gonna say mixed success but i guess maybe that's one way to put it when foggy you know wins the series once in a while against happy like that's in itself is is a small miracle so yeah moon perhaps found the right style here to try and face uh one two zero for the rest of the series okay here in the late game we also saw a reason why happy doesn't go so all in anymore if the night off has a good early game he can absolutely hold that push and happy much more goes for the color expansion nowadays that's something that 1-0 doesn't seem to want to do much against dryads against the mass error he did but here tries with all in moon holes nicely and that makes things quite interesting now strategically moving forward if there's a playable expansion here for moon the game might look similar echo isles our next map certainly very playable to go for the expansion for the night elf but also the best fast expansion map for the undead okay we give these players a little time to think about what they want to pick three minute break and then we continue with map number four will the series be tied or do we get a new champion [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] back at the last set of the dream hack fall we are in the grand final was a 2-0 lead for one two zero but moon refuses to give up and ties or makes this series two and one now will our work day be over soon todd or will we go full distance i think we might go full distance if moon does the same thing and executes it really well and remo touched on it we have a one two zero who's reluctant to counter expo so if he kind of you know puts his head into a wall here with that expansion and the triads and he's not able to break it then moon might be able to do very well but we're headed to echo isle it's usually a very different map than most of course uh very easy expansion to take like there is a chance 1-0 does something entirely different with his own expansion so yeah we're in the game i'll be quiet let's let's just go into it okay we are going into it indeed echo isles is a map where we could deviate from the standard heroes as well depending on some starting positions and we will see all about that in one sec let's go can i get a warden remo yeah it seems like it must be a warden or a demon hunter moon with the ancient of war over at the merc camp is gonna be busy for quite some time creeping this one for level two which means one two zero could easily expand if he tries to but of course what does zero doesn't know about the positioning of the engine of war so going for the expo would be a bit of a risk for him i would be so surprised to see a warden off of moon demon first yeah we've been seeing that more and more neck oils the idea being you level up the demon quickly you allow the undead to expand and then you counter expand on tier two you go demon hunter panda you creep up the map and you have the strongest hero combo possible for the late game demo hunter plus panda is the strongest thing lionel can play in the late game against undead it's weaker in the early stages it's weaker at pushing bases it's weaker at other things but in the late game it's gonna be super strong well well let's see if this is working one two zero i think there might be a chance of him expanding on this map probably nowhere else i mean he did at one point on tight hunters but i've seen him expanding here wouldn't surprise me too much with the engine of war here of course his base is very very exposed and there's no oh he just stole the shadow priest a player's forces are under attack heavy investment by one two zero and he's in is he gonna be expanding it's hard to tell accolade is still alive oh look at the wisp ready to detonate the skeletons and again gets coiled here doesn't get off the detonate in time but the d minor is going to pick up some nice experience here early on peripheral vitality very good item for him and one to zero is going for the survivability always nice with this and yeah let's go instant expansion by one two zero as well and then it's up to moon to break this at some point a little bit of healing always appreciated this bill of course not necessary as there is no entangle no treants ring plus three for the dk not the greatest and this one wisp loss it's gonna be painful now because that means the dk's gonna get level two here right away if the wisp had been denied it wouldn't have been level two it would have slowed down the aura and that's one of those small mechanical mistakes that moon is showing today that's gonna be a bit painful here for him yeah expansive one to zero also slightly delayed because of the mercs but should be coming in in a moment by now we should question if moons this uh detonate hotkey is maybe broken there was another wisp going down to a coil maybe just doesn't pay too much attention to it but okay google run by scouted with a whisper in the north and this is three ghouls coming in berserker goes to moon those big tree though is he brute forcing this i think you should have the damage here gets another kill on the whisk it's going to cost him some ghouls but the expansion for 1-0 is super delayed he started very very late only there's gonna be some ghouls dying lots of experience for the demon he's got the boots already moon knows once his d minus double three he's gonna be very strong so the priest goes down that's big experience nice jump towards level three which is what you need and it is a little bit of an ex uh advantage when it comes to second gold mines tech hasn't started yet on either side can moon still break this without treants without entanglement need to save the ghoul but i think this private ryan will not be getting home to alabama oh no that one dies and the next one as well the boots here working out very very well heavy investment into mobility on the demon hunter but well worth it in my opinion and now what is there not with too much army left anymore this fast expansion really wasn't all that fast normally at this point it's supposed to be mining already so moon in a completely playable position here shadow priest this time for moon so no additional piercing damage to continue to threaten the second base and with the dk only you can't wait three ghouls is this again doable it's a big investment once more doesn't have any skeletons anymore and i think the focus fight is enough yeah can't commit to this anymore dk alone is not enough damage and moon will finally get that tree up on the other side haunted gold mine finishes to narrow tower and well still no tech for one to zero very low lumber due to the heavy ghoul usage yeah this is a real problem here now for the undead this tech is gonna be insanely far behind that of moon might be like two minutes maybe even more and without having commitment to the early game it's very painful go for a graveyard i guess that one doesn't cost any lumber but 120 perhaps over investing in ghoul aggression early on yeah even if he gets that second tree he could expand on the spot then not sure demon hunter can bully now he has a tree a tree a stab he can be surrounded he's doing good damage catch the school here while entangled burns the dk every now and then feels good for moon who is soon to arrive on t2 100 now finally has the resource for the tech there we go but boy oh boy is that like six and a half minutes what do we call swift tier two whereas moon's tier two about to finish and then must be the pad panda would make so much sense here yeah for sure um could fall to beta go like naga for temple play but there is no need at all when expansions are coming up like panda is so good against everything that 120 is building and will ever build except destroyers maybe very very tanky against the undead nuke as well and panda confirmed all right moon getting ready for the late game so early game for moon going decently well expansion now going to be over panda wow solo harassing the ghouls a bit it's also the play that only moon would make every other night elf would bring the panda back to the natural to get solo experience there yeah but he's just trying to annoy the deacon the ghouls very unique well he saw that it was a good opportunity i think the demon hunter would have been too late steph on cooldown and all so why not throw a breath make the ghouls go home and keep that marketplace for later [Music] cern here for moon of course is he's mining at the expansion way later so one to zero can i go up to 70 supply much much faster than moon cam so moon is going to have to catch up with levels he needs stronger heroes whereas 1-0 is going to have the bigger and stronger army so it is kind of surprising that the panda is playing this so aggro he also has no staff he's just alone across the map this is quite unique i can relate you know dark clothes alone kind of an alcoholic now and he prioritizes level four demon hunter when there's very limited experience on the map this might bite him down the road it's time to get weird designed to get away that this panda still is absolutely not creeping that should be coming out somewhat soon as well ghoul's being brought into the middle once we have a couple of giants moon's gonna have full map control it's gonna happen here in a moment and i guess that was the idea panda just gonna slow things down and make sure that the the middle camps are gonna be going to moon and yeah it's uh you're never gonna kill the steam honor i can forget about that yeah which has to be leveled as well wait it's triple rex garx he might just be playing this dk's solo for a long time oh a players force yeah when there's no keeper on the other side you don't have to go tf3 so quickly only destroyers that fast and what is there could try to go for a quick guard timing like 60 supply like 10 15 gargs and this panda as we clearly saw not quite level so well yet he needs to power level that now um both unique spots not gonna be enough i think tier three is coming soon-ish who doesn't have the best anti-air either as it is oh god getting caught by the murlocs that's weird and it's gonna go down as well well there's a lot more guards i guess but moon knows what's up i think you should go for an ap at least at the expo maybe also in the main and get ready for a garg bust almost vortex ask here certainly european inspired i would say triple crypt garx is something you very very rarely see for years no chinese ever build a gargoyle and then tbc came up with this one rex garg play which oh boy let's say it did not have the best win rate of all time and now one two zero goes for them big surprise to me we need to get back to his shop he needs an orb of venom super badly for this d minor he doesn't have enough anti-air right now four dryads two berserkers that's not enough against this big force which is coming in here by one to zero also the undead has a scroll the beast is he taking behind this no wonder they're just spamming guards like crazy so he's committing hard to this attack is that the push for the championship or can moon hold typical situation in this matchup atypical unit composition who is trying to hold no nature's blessing never researched it rather went for tier three fast instead drunken haze is good causes a couple of misses breath of fire is decent as well but it's still not level two he has to spam them for that he got a mana potion all the heal scroll is gold it was the only useful though and moon now suddenly has that big army drunken haze coming in oh no man up for the breath anymore use the mana potion there we go that connected big time and moon i think he is stabilizing here more and more and he doesn't even have the orb yet we might get too guilty on the right hand side but the gogs out of the fight in general so info potion on the demon hunter whoopsie maybe a little bit of a misclick more drives are falling i'm not too sure if he weathered the storm yet i guess the level three close the next breath of fire and moon will force these goggles back for now could get another kill here as well gets denied back to fifth supply for one two zero happy uh days for todd and once there did transition now into tier three that attack attack wasn't the greatest still a big experience lead here on the night of side plus orb is coming or is there already so they will take even more damage she needs stone form so bad and he needs map control so bad 450 gold mood can he steal the heel scrolls one one is still available creeps woken up interesting move and what does it recall for the gt just like that full distance yeah taps out felt that he had to go for a quick timing there i guess with this faster expansion play and moon brings it back 1-0 i think his macro in the early game just wasn't crisp enough he could have expanded there way way way faster also stealing the shadow priest is that really necessary if he sees the ancient of war down there he can go to the natural just right away and if he doesn't go for the shutter priest invest into that expansion much more quickly the expo was just so much delayed i feel like once there could have played that a bit better but anyways that's the way it is and now one map remaining for our championship yeah moon finally finds his rhythm and it was a specific build to echo you don't really see demon on her too much i think on other maps i was a little bit worried when i saw that panda i wasn't leveling like you know rushing demon 4 for panda 2 is like really weird move to to go for but as long as he held and he did sure do that i think moon was always going to be okay after that so kind of weird to see one to zero play you know triple creep gog that's not exactly you know what he's known for and that didn't work out too well so probably going to revert back to malt standard play in the final map which is amazonia oh okay so we're actually going into a little bit of crazy territory here as well with that's where this is a pretty tough match map to expand on for either player and i guess you know night elf if you can get an ancient of war up there in position to creep that it's going to be a little bit easier but uh very different map than most which makes for an interesting dynamic heading into it we will send you into the last break of the dreamhack open fall season and then we crown a champion [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Applause] hmm [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] okay indeed pog temp time this is pretty parked to have this grand final as we go full distance one map to the side at all moon versus one two zero everything will be decided on amazonia yeah we don't have it any other way here a five mapper in the grand finals the two best players in this tournament they perform really well up to this point it looked like he was going to be a 3-0 for some time and then moon was like actually you know what i'm done with this like let's play sirius from now and he kind of bulldozed through the last two maps very very convincingly a lot more on points and some nice movements some good riot usage so perhaps what he needs to rely on more so than anything else but yeah amazonia is such different territory than most other maps hard to expand on you cannot start with level two if you choose to do those two camps here in the start i expect keeper into demon from moon and standard like solid style but there is a chance he might mix in another monitor first even though usually it's mostly booked for echo whereas one two zero we kind of know what to expect just standard play you know ghoul opener dk and a little bit of creeping and then into fiends and frenzy later on and destroyer if it's a keeper all right then who's gonna become the first two time dreamhack season champion will it even be a back to back champion in moon this is the decision right right right man these asian finals and their full out best of fives was the case in summer was the case that wgl has been a lot of times uh the case at one to zero versus lynn finals just so so good these days man off we go moon bottom left one to zero upper right and moon prevail here once again as he has so many times before that's what happened in summer on the last map not what happened at wgl the one time where he faltered against colorful he's starting off with a keeper here once again and we kind of know what to expect it's going to be an expansion play demon hunter dryads very very likely but like the first map was unconcealed this expansion is not so easy to take this is much easier for 1-0 to harass than many of the other maps so the expansion timing here once again might be a little later than moon would like here on our final match for sure and the question is how fast can the keeper unfold his real strength one two zero trying to disrupt this a little bit with the acolyte uh doesn't pull the creeps into each other no lightning shield here immediately that's the perch on the acolyte that's what he forced wait how did he spell that lightning shield on the archer that was in the north a little weird a little weird sometimes i think he was next to a whisper or something clean creep here for moon in the end really important you could not deny experience here especially in this last final game yeah you can't show any nerfs you can't do any misclicks anymore this time triangles first as well to support in this creep and then entangle after one to zero with the lightning shield creep himself for the same levels and also no deny who he was playing with fire there two of those were really close well well well time to cut some corners eh for the big dream championship the person gloves one of the greatest items on either side i guess everything's fair here so far tier two tech should be starting in a moment there it is two level two heroes here moving out on the map slightly faster attack for moon expansion should be coming up at the four degree former green camp one two zero if he scouts this may even have a window to look for a cancel every every moment is so important here on this map especially for one two zero every second you can keep the keeper away from level three is great attack progressing just started for moon for one two zero pretty much same speed who constantly goes for this narrow tower never skips it really we don't have any staffs yet so surrounds could potentially be an instant kill boom we see it here it's just a little experience but it's experience every little bit matters especially if we move as we are moving towards tier level three entangle plus archer fire here could perhaps be a bit scary dk lost a lot of hp already can't heal up from moon wells or anything like that but of course has the aura to passively work overtime still have two ghouls on lumber so there shouldn't be an issue for one to zero to work with so many ghouls in the middle of the map could this be a naga second instead of a lich this time [Music] kind of a wild one to zero play he has done that before but uh would certainly be a bit of a risk great scouting here knows exactly what the keeper is up to this has a few seconds of freedom and in that time i'm going to take out the troll camp and perhaps they're going to find the window to harass the creeping on the other side or if he steals the last year of the taskmaster it would be absolutely huge three forty seven exactly super close to three now oh and this is such a delay for moon kind of stuck on level two and a half now when you really want this level to end tangle can he avenge himself doesn't seem like it yeah who needs a comeback play here he needs to kill some ghouls or something but he's only got 75 mana one entangle here wouldn't be enough to get a kill instead he's getting greeted with coils aggressively and dude this was such a huge moment on this level of play this experience swing that won the early game four one two zero that one move you see it here that experience swing indeed how to like for one to zero everything is comfortable and what a moment this is after losing two maps in a row one pretty decisively you know exactly okay i gotta get something done oh bashes maybe no not too dangerous but again additional hits on the dk never wrong but yeah this this must feel good after two very painful losses here the final map here for moon are looking too good but we saw before even from difficult positions moon is one of the best in the world at coming back and finding the wind condition still and the wind condition of course is the expansion tree of life now up eating through the trees not going for nature's blessing yet so it's gonna take a little while obviously confirmed here that it's no garx that would have been a huge surprise especially on one base no expansion by moon yet do we see this correctly not set up at least making its way through as per usual but at some point moon has to retreat has to creep it that might be a wonderful timing for one two zero to jump on him oh surround possible oh as if they were trolls is there okay if he gets that lasting with this pigeon now there's no chance against coil and nova usually okay demon hunter picks up the ring really not the best damage items for the lips which is of course ideally what you would like to get keeper still looking for that kill and hey finally going to be rewarded for his persistence what's the fiend doing on the right hand side that's a little odd yeah i was a bit lost there keeper certainly sacrificing his progress but it's more important for the demon to level up and to get that expansion rolling and it's gonna be mining here in a bit one two zero looking if you can get something for free and archer out of position a bit of coil nova this time the detonate is there okay but looking at the experience bar this demand is still not at level three which is a problem neither is the keeper which is very unusual for amazonia to have an eight minute game in a level two keeper he's gonna get there eventually and of course the sooner the better and tier three already for the undead but is he making his way across it looks like he's moving to another creep camp natural mercenary camp both very good he knows he has time because at least a little bit moon needs to creep it will take time until this expansion pays off and is protected we see a six acolyte this will be the typical happy play but one two zero is just refusing to counter expand on concealed hill that worked out well the all-in led to victory one last refuge it didn't work out and he lost the game yeah one two zero taken a bit of a risk here once again not counter-expanding going for a third hero again and since it's him probably gonna be the naga then still no level three keeper but he gets the level three demon hunter we look at the tavern naga confirmed and this is the big push very similar to concealed hill if this works he's the champion if moon is ready he's gonna lose a two map advantage in a grand final it's some that some nightmare material dodges the coil with the tp but he's hurt now ap up wisps in position rest of the army is not repair here from only one wisp is not gonna hold for too long second wisp now coming in but the ap goes down level two for the lift for the frost ammo that's a big deal imma potion used to dodge the coil but the car flew on the ghoul right there in the potion going to be running out in a few seconds nova in the back trying to take out the archers quickly he knows there's no tp anymore the keeper in trouble now close to getting surrounded but also the naga getting pressured heel potion transfers the big heel post to the perfect item right there he managed with his own he'll post so much hero focus from these two oh my there's the staff ready on the keeper he wants this naga so bad but gets the tp off david have to dice with the coil though oh no last second nuke huge moment right there the hero going down has to be tavern revived there's no way moon should have time for the normal revive but the moon just looking really rough had a thousand gold there for a bit and now the dryads stuck in the main the rally point on the demon hunter has disappeared he does return from the tavern does he have a new info potion available cool down for a couple of seconds one two zero knows he's at gunpoint needs to kill this expansion at some point one base two base unplayable heel scroll mana potion and off we'd go ah again keeper is there still not level three demon hunter barely has any mana to burn the player's forces are under attack okay experience very close to l4 that will be a huge level up no destroyers yet at all by one to zero by the way the keeper used to abuse this with more entangled it's only level one i think he's a little greedy waiting for that level three wants to get a kill before but maybe that results in another first year second hero loss and he needs to take out these ghouls they're doing so much damage steph is ready he'll scroll as well you lose a stroll before there's the new keys dead my lord he's playing with fire in this tournament life here how much healing is there left a bit of moon juice another potion potions are quickly running out in this shop by the way yeah dust but the fiend is already unborn but he doesn't do much use the mana burn got coiled still in the d minor again super hurt and the naga always makes it hard for the demon to approach with a cold air really good crowd control by one to zero there's still rules in this mix unbelievable moon at 58 the bank is not too great anymore and the demon hunter would die for rune bracers as we see the focus once again the ice arrow trying to dance now before keep a level three but it's too late now the destroyers are up not too much for him to do anymore the honor for the united is great at this point moon looking for reinforcements that's smart maybe we can catch them okay needs to hold this expo though he also made it to the shop on the right hand side for heel scroll mass repair this costs a lot is it worth it can you hold it nova is good and i don't think he can hold it for much longer has to engage asap okay for the game here with two coils remaining the demand is still hurt he's been hurt this whole time yeah he was taken out once before but there's the staff ready for him yeah he dodged the coil here maybe even no actually it did take the damage but it's night time now we have munch's region again things are looking better perhaps now no mana but good heroes is the force still there and tangle use between the fifty percent lynch level three dryads everywhere super hard to kill them once again focus fire on the demon level 3.6 if he gets level 2 evasion that would be huge dk has a coil um not ready takes a lot of time keeper in trouble there's no step on him there's no potion on him he's waiting frostmourne hungers is this the hero loss that decides the game we have one okay now there's the coil and he can't dodge this they might there we go keeper down is that interesting revenge kill no demon hunter might be falling there as well the naga turns out to be super good and our first two-time dream act champion seemingly one two zero nothing left here for moon no gold anymore the bank is gone everything's been spent the undead heroes super strong now at four three three the naga third it didn't work out always but in the right situation she works out so well the perfect counter against this d minor one to zero now on his way to claim this title the next title for him in 2021 moon is still trying but he's got basically nothing left exactly how he takes a fiend but okay he's not even getting experience for this demon hunter not revived expo down keeper will take forever and we're getting closer and closer to a new asia champion moon still believing in his chances the demon has returned from the tavern keep her back from the altar in a moment but with this tier 2 keeper style you are going to fall off in the late game you need that huge economic advantage with the expansion without it it's not really feasible but he's going to trust in some kind of miracle again he almost made the miracle happen on tight hunters and if there's one guy who can make it work yeah it is of course okay how much gold is there 4 000 in the main if we would be close to running out i would say okay keep up the pressure and prevent one two zero from expanding while moving the tree of eternity over but 4 000 gold lasts a long time every time the demon runs in he gets gets screeded with a focus fire in the cold arrow right away it's so hard for him to approach this naga third looking better and better more experience going to one to zero close level five dk scourge bone chimes is not really a useful item for him but can sell it if needed just takes this game further and further into his direction demon hunter with an involved with heel scrolls keeper is back moon's last breath maybe he was able to turn tight hunters around almost here we go that's the final fight destroyer about to die safe to the side dry it falls and if the demon are default this game is over again seven seconds safety staff is on cooldown for 12 though that's the next hero kill that must be finishing the game involve potion keeps naga safe demon hunter exposed now right click focus fire coming through next hero kill must be the game and he's getting the kill the double level up and the double championship for one two zero second dreamhack title for him gg and it does go to china our dreamhack championship and fall oh man it's been a while it's been almost an entire year
