WC3R - WGL WINTER - Grand Final: [NE] Moon vs. Infi [HU]

ladies and gentlemen it's time for the wgl winter 2020 grand final a one match for 35 000 and it is moon versus infield they've both been here before they've both been champions before moon did it once infeed did it twice in feed with the chance as the first player in the world to become the three time champion and they have met already once in this tournament infie was the winner there very clearly but the mastermind of moon had multiple days some alliteration right there for you guys to prepare now and be in better shape going up against infi it's gonna be tough but this is gonna be an amazing grand final indeed man not only can infie become the first three-time wgl champion he can also become the third back to back wgl champion only one two zero and th were able to do it before moon could be the fourth two time wgl champion as we said infinitely before and th and one two zero high stakes here the night offs all rooting for moon of course they want their glass stained window in fee on the big stage coming up he is from shanghai the stage is in shanghai and we're gonna hear him for the interview today earlier he played random and he destroyed fly three to one playing all races the best random player in the world we gotta raise the question will he play human will he play random will he play something else we are not 100 sure and we're gonna hear maybe from aragon what he thinks before the match moon of course never off racing and knowing exactly or hopefully knowing exactly what to do it is also a rematch of the world cyber games quarter final from a couple of weeks ago and there it was a three to zero for moon prior to that infi always seemed to have the upper hand yeah in this matchup against night off infinity is looking terrifyingly strong we asked the question earlier we raised whether infj is going to play random here again that would be an enormous surprise i think moon would gladly take this one it comes with his own challenges but the greatest challenge for moon would be facing infie's main race human he has been playing boot camp for a long time with la light infi seems to be as ready as one can be for this match-up which has always been one of his strengths moon was not ready in the group stage nope we'll see if he is ready now for the grand final this is only the third grand final between them can you believe it it feels like they've been around forever they must have clashed more times but no the last encounter was next to 2019 the autumn edition infield taking a 3-0 and in the yuan cup finals that is long time ago it was also in fear for a mistake and yes with a four to two in the best of seven back then and now the third time they meet since 2016 their encounters have been very close it's almost a 50 50 win rate 12 wins for envy 54 yeah 12 wins foreign 14 for moon so a slight edge going to moon in fact the last five encounters moon won the last four of those but there were a lot of qualifiers involved there was a lot of infy off racing involved playing undead was involved all that wasn't too successful but normally with human infeed is the killer in this matchup as we were very impressively shown against lawliat yeah on this patch at the moment on 1.32 it is a six to one in favor of moon so what's it gonna be here today can infie get revenge for the world cyber games on the big stage or will moon get revenge for the group stage group c that seems where uh the diamonds were in this league they've both been there against foggy and colorful as well infie making it out as the group winner and then moon defeated foggy in the playoffs yesterday and two day in fee with the three to two over law light in this very matchup it was a very very close affair on the last map lolita may be nervous making a couple of mistakes inviting infy to take the lead in that in that series and take the victory in the end moon on the other side swift three you know three and one over wfz just one wrong read cost him one map and just a couple of hours before moon defeated mikhail three and oh that was closer than it looks for sure infy on the other side he demolished fly with random yeah it was very hard for flights to prepare for infini in fact well close to impossible when you're facing random and you have to go for a few gambles moon had the time to prepare had the time to adjust he must have felt also uh the punch in the gut of that group stage upper bracket match where it was a 2-0 for infinity and it was very clear very one-sided moon realized he has to change something up he needs to make adjustments it was lawler saying that moon's style wasn't really up to date a little antiquated perhaps where infy has been boot camping and practicing and improving driving forth the meta for a long time along with low light moon is a player who loves playing keeper who loves playing beastmaster these tempo heroes that try to fight for map control the warden really his strongest hero and that is certainly something we saw in that map on terena's stand between definitely waiting for the map picks and bans at the moment this is a clash between the best player in the history of this game and the third best player in the history of this game this is almost one million one hundred thousand dollar prize money combined only lin stands between them and infie could catch up with lin who leaves wgl winter empty-handed if moon wins this series then he is the first player to break the 650 thousand dollar prize money mark as he was the first one to break the 400 and the 500 and the 600k mark he's just incredible with so many fans around the world matt picks and bands no northern isles no turtle rock we start our last refuge moon picking echo and concealed infy a z and tear on a stand especially the tarana stand there for infield quite understandable he's been looking so strong with that mass air style amazonia can be a little difficult at times but in fee that's the scary thing about him he's so strong with different styles mk expansion he's extremely good am expansion might be his weakest style maybe but still really good with that the one base push super terrifying by him as well so what's he gonna play moon has to be ready for everything moon vetoing northern isles that is something we see from night elves quite a bit nowadays we have also seen some decent beastmaster and keeper play there also possible triple hero late game but moon is uh seemingly going with smaller maps especially echo isles his pick for many knights out there that should mean warden but with him i doubt it amazonia for infy as the pick this is next to twisted meadows usually moon's territory let's see if that is a little brave or if it's the absolute correct thing where does this series go two ultimate warriors clashing this is the wgl winter grand final in the bottom left-hand side the current reigning and still defending world champion of wgl summer is infie who takes the hype out of this intro with the first pause of the game unfortunately we had a little bit of hiccup earlier as well slight technical difficulties but i guess if they're gonna happen better to happen at the beginning i'm sure they're gonna resolve it here very soon earlier we were able to continue with the game there quite swiftly in the third place match mikhail getting the victory there can it be two korean victories towards the end of the day moon taking a second championship or infie taking the third in fear no he's not playing all the tournaments he's streaming a lot he is not playing the smaller ones but the big ones he has an impressive incredibly impressive track record he won last wgal he might win this one he won last year's wcg and not only is he doing that with huma but recently he's incorporating more off races more random into his playstyle he's starting to become the perfect player indeed the ultimate weapon in warcraft 3. he was the third player to win wcg twice he was the third player to win wgl twice with all the threes around here wouldn't it be the perfect fit if he's the one winning wgl as the first player for the third time i would certainly think so he now ties wgl uh wgl one two zero for most grand final appearances with number four for one two zero unfortunately that's quite some time ago summer of 2016 he had four grand finals back to back for infie it's a little more spread 2015 the very first champion then in summer of 2017 and then it was the summer of 2020 of course so let me resume this introduction i was roughly interrupted in the bottom left-hand side of things it is the best human in the world confirmed once more the reigning and defending champion in fee and on the upper right hand side it is the fifth race is the greatest player that this game has ever seen it is moon all right ladies and gentlemen last refuge we're kicking off this is the map where infield lost to lorelei by far the most devastating loss for infy in terms of how one-sided it was and that was of course at the hands of the beastmasters so infield would have that very fresh in his memory after last wgl when the knights were looking for more answers new answers when the keeper pushed didn't work anymore they turned towards the beastmaster which we are going to be seeing here once again after a few weeks it seemed like the humans had found the answer but again it's always this back and forth this dynamic one top player finds a certain approach to deal with the hero then something new is discovered and now moon trusts in the beastmaster once again okay interesting maybe he found a new way to play this moon on last refuge versus humans slightly above 50 percent in fee versus night off here with a strong 66 win rate but yeah things change matters change so take these statistics with a grain of salt instant expansion not going to the murlocs not going to the mercenary camp just rushing right over and this was the map where lolita was playing the beastmaster and lolita destroyed infield on this map yeah infini the post game interview said he realizes his mistake and said that he didn't use his militia well enough his peasants that is and it was having severe lumber issues perhaps this game is going to be able to deal with that more easily at the beginning he can't deal with a beast master harass or creeping excuse me at all that one's good it's gonna happen the beastmaster is gonna open up the mercamp and he's gonna get a level three fairly quickly but the first big item which can be very helpful is a rather poor one those rune bracers completely useless in the early game later on against the mk could be good but for a long time will have no effect definitely agree if it's even a mountain king maybe it's a different one with a blood mage with the naga we'll see about that on the other side moon is tacking no counter expansion is it going to be the law light ask pressure play did you see that in the quarter final thing hey that's the way to go that is often times the case that lawlite is paving the way with tactics with creep routes with timings and then moon picks it up and perfects it is that the case here after just one day of seeing the younger korean night elf paved the way infield with the priority on the expansion this will lead to faster income faster towers later dispels and later mercenaries so far the third time he's calling militia this is really expensive yeah if he's out of lumber he can't power build right now but he feels this is definitely worth it because he needs the mercs and level three am he gets that now three wonderful items for him four four actually with the sentry awards seriously it's almost perfect drops he's slowing down his tech a lot expo now finished he can go for more peasants there interesting that he mentioned before that lumber was the issue for him lumber might again be the issue but he's got a strong am and mercenary exactly shadow priest and berserkers both here bear being summoned hard to dispel looks like a congo line for moon stopping in the middle not going forward with this seeing that the expo is already finished and abandoning this push is he just turning around trying to find another angle and go for the main or is he seriously creeping this we'll be creeping it can't take that away very quickly but infie realizes okay if he's not pushing me harassing me right away he's gonna be creeping something and probably wants to creep away a camp of mine comes in here for the creep jack doesn't get any kill i believe but puts in a bit of damage we have double shadow priest now for moon he could very quickly be able to rise up to level four here he's not that far away anymore and kills could be coming in exactly big mana potion for him more more summons quillby says well the big power by lawlite came when the beastmaster was at level 4 when he had the cool beast level 2 and he has a lot of them but how to get there was an interesting idea by moon to lure infy out onto the map to get maybe a better position harassing this expansion but infi defending masterfully and there's almost no damage done now with the naga maybe second temple stays high if he wants but moon wants to keep on pressuring wants to keep infe on his heels who's playing this very defensively so far am always where he needs to be he's got the merch he's got the footies in the right spot and this beastmaster out of mana rk in the right position tech has started all things concerned pretty fast militia are coming in if he makes it work as he's always making it work mercenaries for moon as well plus summons this is a very very dedicated push no backup expansion to have a plan b this must work this must deal damage love the shop behind the militia as well at some point militia will be over and then maybe infie has to fall back but if he has to fall back he's gonna have the shop right there and look at that defensive play flawless infy ready for everything he read the game he knew this was going to be coming and he was ready with everything that he needed to have wow he's blocking that path here so very hard to engage from the left-hand side moon was getting ready for the tier two this might be his favorite units this might be giants on the other side if he's getting ready for rifleman and the defense yeah as i said absolutely flawless if infj is in shape and willing to win a tournament he looks like a different beast he looks like a different tier above the s and this seems to be the case here not too many units lost we got the second claw by the way this plus 13 damage naga with the heel scroll she is level 2 beastmaster getting closer l4 still has that big mana pot in the inventory could perhaps even snipe a red camp over here with dryads doable and then the next wave of pressure could be coming in but by that time infis gonna be tier two what second hero is he gonna choose mk or bloodmate should be one of the two i guess black mage would of course be great against the beastmaster not too great against the naga where will we go with this game moon still no counter expansion sensing the bears wants to get more experience some kills at least all attempts have been defended what the mental summoned as always great mana management always having the necessary resources for the summons bears are taking out quite a few of these peasants but now mining will be getting re-established beast master still tons of mana himself and a potion in the inventory and one kill away from that level four the quillbeast level two then will become available normally the way moon plays this is beer beer quillby's quillbeast and then once he has a lot of standard bears drews of the claw then go quilby's level 3 on level 5 beastmaster that seems to be the preferred choice oftentimes but this is a scary moment now for enfie the tutu knight of army is fully online and infie is still holding on mostly with footman as so often with defend bears taking out the double arcane i love that lots of extra damage here moon with the heal scroll committed that was big has a mana steel staff can go for the archmages so crowd control is good but doesn't want to dive too deep into the arcane could pop the potion and get loose summons blood made to this amazing defense by entry this isn't even all that close he's still got plenty of mercs and footies remaining he's still sitting at good supply in fact he's going into upkeep really fast over here that shop a strike of genius always can go for these regen scrolls over and over moon is going tier three and he really didn't do that much damage sometimes it feels like infy is using warp 10 to have everything in position where he needs it like this power build was crazy expensive he still gets the tech prior to the six minute mark he's still able to queue defend he's still able to get mercenaries everything is so perfect decision making and macro biofeed just always beautiful to see we haven't seen the big flashy micro moves yet but those weren't required that's not the kind of game that this is this is all about economy and being in the right spot making the right decisions at all times which infie is an absolute master ad was considering going for the red moon is looking for a misstep like this he's coming in trying to punish but the most he's going to be able to get is maybe a footy and it doesn't hurt too bad oh let's use the big potion gets siphoned as well but moves out of that channeling spell rather quickly footman and wisps everywhere on the map both have good vision on their opponents infy is checking for a counter expansion which is not coming moon is still pretty much all in with his tier three push the bears are gonna have a pretty strong timing when exactly is that now perhaps going in no slow yet to deal with these bears but lots of rifles doing good damage already siphoned mana against the bears beastmaster going back into the front line but it seems like this is easily enough meat for just infinity to hold on he wasn't even kiting he was just standing there and gunning no running indeed and now the only one running is moon 15 supply down and this is where infi wants to be lots of rifles couple of casters good hero levels let's go he was kind of trapped on his side of the map to defend and now he can do what he wants he has control of the map wherever moon goes he will be contested and this is probably not going into his favor oh but you have to see the item no it goes to the blood mage and that is awesome battle drums very good for the rifles this is insane like every single item drop was pretty much perfect i would say for infie that definitely helped defend this but i don't want to take anything away the execution was glorious how many footman did he lose until now like three moon is going for some signature two-pronged attacks bears and heroes into the main ranged army considering attacking the expansion as amazing of a game as infy has had so far the one thing he doesn't have is tier three and mountain giants at three and higher tech i mean against which mountain giants could be really good let's go into potion and flame strike that can be very very good once we go into a base race situation tp owned by enfield willing to defend this year we see blizzard down the road as well he's still not attacking he has the resources unwilling to do so i'm gonna hit level five here in just a moment and blood mage level three the manner on this blood mage is gonna be nuts he may even want to go flame strike maybe although siphon 2 is just crazy hard to say no to that moon bounces over to the next base forcing the tp again there's a lot of tp scrolls enfie has to buy but i suppose you can afford them or just clicking on the town hall this is gonna be dangerous one of the wind used to take the damage out of the bears the nagas in trouble the bears are suffering and tp out by moon didn't expect the wand maybe didn't expect the flame strike that didn't work and he's still so far down higher attack army but way fewer units it seems like moon needs mountain giants but at the same time where's his damage coming from he doesn't have a lot of orbs which is usually the damage for night of in the late game doesn't have a keeper to carry that orb the naga can but that means no cold arrow and now we have infie pushing forward finally moon cannot go for a counter attack anymore and infie this might be the knockout punch looks like it against the flame strike you always have to kite back and you can't really reach the rifles you can't stand in the flame strike it's level two now by the way he ditched the siphon level two which is so powerful for a better flame strike i love this game plan i love the execution again look at this damage on the bears they're storming forward now because they have to they have no option to go back but they run into a meat grinder these rifles are just tearing them apart massive fields go just insanely big army by enfie 80 supply tier 2 mass no need to get fancy with tier 3 he can just finish this game with tier 2 tech even towers coming up gg and again it is just entry superior just like in the group stage and how much he learned from this lawlite game yeah just yesterday fixing almost everything the build order was supreme stella marvelous it almost looked entirely one-sided the thing is doing all of that so perfectly with the creep route expo timing army positioning macro everything always hitting every beat perfectly it's so hard to do but when you are on this level as envy is here it can look so insanely powerful only very few the very fewest humans can do it even top level players like jamiko they can't do it quite like that infie though he can and he looks so terrifyingly strong in that matchup with with that with that defense you know i was i was having the hope that well mooney suffered the loss so maybe he can learn better from uh the defeat that he suffered there in the group stage but infie he also learns very quickly from those matches against law lion incredible that's uh that's terrifying looking in fifa from the first map how does this game look without the items that's the question of course item's part of the game and in fee crept everything in quick succession got good drops moon is that goodbye to the beastmaster what is a map specific thing this push this heel scroll oh this looks this looks so one-sided everything is just healthy the rifles if he wants to save them he pulls them back the front line is falling okay but that's footman that's like 14 minutes into the game and what he sacrifices is footman and this is something we saw throughout the entire tournament the the way he uses the tier tier one unit to pressure moon worlds to create distance to block four rifles or whatever is behind them he was always the strongest with them alongside th but it feels like he stepped that up to a whole new level yeah truly amazing moon is going to have to dig deep here to find something that works better beastmaster so well played by a law light and a very convincing victory there before against infinite quarters here has absolutely no chance i think that's going to be the last we're going to be seeing of the beastmaster moon's map choices his loser's picks are concealed hill and echo isles we are going to concealed hill and that must mean a key that must be the keeper and i'm very sure that this must mean mountain giants this is the map that lawlite won again the rush 2 mgs is he just copying law light here with the strats the strats that were successful follow light moon picks them up i wouldn't necessarily say that's a bad thing normally the stress that lower light chooses are very strong oftentimes the strongest on the map keeper definitely the strongest hero on concealed hill and also enables a stronger late game try hero combo it's really hard for night elf to find the right hero combo and choosing the right one for the human heroes to not become overwhelming if you don't pick the right heroes the mk can very quickly ruin your day if you don't pick the right heroes the blood mage can very quickly ruin your day and from what i've seen so far it seems like the only really good tri-hero combo or hero combo in general that night of has is keeper naga demon yeah that can work really well lola had showed it multiple times and i imagine moon is going to be trying the same unless he has something he discovered himself something new but so far we haven't seen that yet from moonless matchup will he just take the series away with 2-0 to repeat the result of the group stage or will we tie this up and go to a best of three next round ding ding ding vs moon map number two it is concealed hill envy in the top right with a 1-0 lead in a position now to claim match point if he should get a victory here we have an altar built by both sides no longer neutral hero we did see in the group stage colorful trying with the demon hunter first very old school but that seems almost impossible to pull off nowadays keeper is what we're expecting okay keeper it is i can definitely see this just being the same strat that lawlite played as so often and then on the other maps that lol i lost i expect moon to come up with something something special something new something creative something that infy might not expect this to me is pretty predictable from moon's side and i'm really curious how infu reacts to this now yeah if you tried with the one base play style against low lights uh keeper before and it's so hard on one base to make that work because you can get picked apart really quickly a few and tangles here and there or venom kills crucial units die and you can't replace them on one base so easily two base can work a lot better but of course if you play two bases well here is infi then you open yourself up to harass which can be painful very fast footman scout we saw before by infie looking at law alliance what he's doing that footman got entangled got killed and was a fast level two for the keeper of the grove i think the new thing for human might be on this map don't scout the hero you know it's gonna be a keeper it's extremely likely a keeper and if it's anything other than a keeper you're gonna be happy anyways yeah yeah i agree so gloves for infie ring for moon is it gonna be an expansion going for the turtles first whispers ready for moon to intercept this until then more creeping needs entangle not ruthless aggression as we've seen before with the keeper but steady rise for farm that is a very good indicator for that expansion equipment checking the shop is there a surprise keeper ambushing me not yet at the moment only one whisper up here right sometimes we see low light being as aggressive as bringing three wisps to detonate currently we only have the one but that one is certainly intending to detonate if he pulls out the camp to creep this a little bit better let's see how expensive it's gonna be nate hits the water elemental and the archmage there's not gonna be a second one first militia getting killed by the uh creeps how expensive is this going to be footman safe to decide what elemental is gone keep her in the middle of everything good range on every on all archers turn around might be able to kill that and infuse expansion plans abandoned for now now for a minute but this is sort of standard nowadays you have to call the militia twice on this map because it's pretty hard to do but the next round should usually lead to the expansion then archer and shadow melt ready for the ambush not too many peasants died really so that's pretty good and the am also got the full experience from these creeps so far got a staff here as well can get out of surround focus fires this is of course expensive in lumber moon is following up with the counter expansion sees i can't follow this up elastid on the null is game changing but infy is way too good at that item also going to infini this time the item is not as amazing as before with the gloves and the talisman mediocre at best but still a very clear clean execution hardly any peasants went down there really good focus main base being scouted by a treant but militia can take care of that is he gonna summon more treants is there enough mana a second set could be quite painful okay kills another wisp on the side oh he's diving deep he doesn't have a staff okay but it is more damage especially to these workers there are quite some at the expansion envy's still sending the militia over here after the archers he does have the dust but not quite enough damage to actually find kills also no boots moon summoned motriens mainly for scouting with only two trains not that much he can do he should be on tier two in a second and then it could be second hero time is it gonna be the naga or what are we gonna must be right one has to realize that a demon hunter isn't working not against the blood mage not at all infuse going for the aggressor for the first time checking things out what's his tech what's your buildings what's going on if you get that hunter stall that would be a disaster that would be an absolute disaster but archers are here and tangled staff out immediately watermelon can be dispelled against and you're just pushing it away to not feed any more experience to the keeper he is going demonic the altar was active and the thing is infy saw the altar being active i'm quite surprised about that there's a little tear of disappointment running down my cheeks at the moment maybe he's convinced he's going to be able to control the map well if you can get ahead with a demon hunter and never allow blood mage 3 maybe it can work but once the blood mage hits three that is where the demon usually ends up looking pretty much useless expo being found in fee with the perfect calls again is the damage enough he can't save himself to the tree for now so hard to kill these footman wisps are coming in how much surface is there demon hunter in but it's not an instant help really he can prevent the next water elemental and with that tangle he makes sure that his tree stays up but infee is engaging into the creeps expert remains alive that was of course crucial also we had the nature's blessing helping out there the wisp timing very important not to uh forget about those but that of course comes at a price the wisps and the nature's blessing and the expansion everything and the price is no tier three no bears for a long long time and enfie again keeps up the pressure foot is in the main he's slowing down moon here very effectively making his life hard and going double barracks mass rifles could absolutely do a lot he knows that moon is not going to be tier three for a long while double racks rifles a very very powerful strategy that has a fast and long power spike to break them you need mgs and they take forever and then you can transition into knights at some point this is a rough rough rough strategy that moon has to deal with now and he's probably not gonna have the better late game heroes yeah moon needs to make sure with his expansion being so much later that with his tier 2 attack now he claims map control he makes sure he's not getting harassed anymore that this demon hunter that this am is dealt with and that he can creep camps away if moon can steal the enemy lab and steal the ogre lord in the middle this demon is gonna have a great head start over any second hero that the human is gonna be able to bring to the table but without bears and rejuve it's also not that easy to creep these big camps i feel like moon is having a better early mid game the defenses are good it's not that the footmen are doing too much they are distracting they're buying time but they're not causing any damage they're not killing moon worlds they're not cancelling buildings they're not unentangling this gold mine wisps here and there for sure forcing the staff um forcing him to change a position on the map yeah but not more that is of course due to the fact that he plays double racks rifles as well but moon's responses so far are really good still tier three second hero foreign started must be the blood mage mk would hardly be able to do anything and makes it back home that telestaff on both sides has been very valuable when is envy gonna break into upkeep he could do it pretty much already right now did he just attack or cue a big upgrade he spent a lot of resources not too sure blood mage is out need some catching up big mana potion also very nice to have moon with a tier three attack which is absolutely necessary also a shredder for the big upgrades down the road on this map maybe mg's without upgrades might not even be too bad you send them in they are sort of tanky not all that tanky but sort of and here you have fountains to heal them up but only if you can maintain that position yeah staffs early on help and moon has one of them but i don't think he loves dryads way too much to go for early mgs team hunter he's not coming in for the burns now finally yes feels like moon is a little too late over here ken good evening trying to go for the archmage forcing him back also for the blood mage staff on the demon hunter and a lot of experience now goes in this way militia called is he gonna expand he sort of has the resources okay but then he he must stay at tier two right they can't afford tier three tech plus an expansion oh he actually he actually is he's actually gonna expand no way the stalemate breaker at the 10 minute mark i still love that word by the way great you introduced us to it oh just kidding though it looked like it but maybe moon is thinking the same moon never saw the militia retreat what if he feels pressured now should be able to scout for it fairly well tier three finishing he needs the tier 3 upgrades he needs the orb desperately very soon the demon hunter will lose the mana battle here trying to prevent the level three on the blood mage with a little bit of focus fire but both heroes for moon are so weak supply lead for infie is ready and the strength of the rifleman gunning down this shop did he arrive at tier three yes he got an orb and this timing is hitting a little too soon for moon's liking he doesn't have the master training yet doesn't have the giants so much damage from his rifleman it's a very different game compared to the first one but the push is looking pretty similar with towers just like he did against law light on echo isles very very similar can the light hold on there it was a warden here's the keeper and the demon hunter a little later in the game of course moon wheels are falling moon has some back up it feels like a matter of time and he guns everything down players are falling mass upgrade should be the demon hunter lots of trouble little bit of moon too scrapping everything together every single last drift helps the towers are up and with those towers standing moon is in severe danger now how is he ever going to dislodge this push 80 supply infinite getting stronger and stronger more upgrades perhaps even tier 3 coming in soon we have four bears but it definitely doesn't look like that's enough wisps now trying to detonate against it to take some mana out to make sure that there's not too much slow moon is trying his very very best but it's damaging on the front line the bears they're getting either sniped or banished just like the demon hunter just was level four helps him level two evasion so the rifles don't do too much and whenever he's close to kill boom they're spanish again these rifles stand no chance at these strides i mean the bathrooms say like what nothing's at the chance against the rifleman the bears not strong enough nothing high enough of a number crazy blocks gimmick of lumber mill he just blocks moon out of his own base yeah that feels real bad what a move by infy now he has to go through the towers this is this is once again a next level play he can't go through that position anymore with the power build no chance to cancel that either humiliation by infy he's going tier three now what else to do having all these resources on 80 supply already gunning down the tree of eternity that one also dies pretty fast against all these rifles tpn last stand from moon he's bringing the shredder he's bringing everything let's go okay moon needs a fight out of this world he's finding a decent concave at first but now spreads the damage again demon hunter blood mage both out of mana there's more something's coming from the archmage there's one heal scroll four moon roar reapplied getting a little bit of a kill see on the wall of metal on the priest blood mage also like he throws everything at that hero needs a little bit more he's next to his shop can go for the potion and now he's banished safe against the physical attacks of the bears but this fight for moon looks a little better but he's also way more committed than he was before no way back and this is a massive massive massive lead flood mage rifles are back ladies and gentlemen they were out of the meta for a while but here now infie once again shows them very impressively insane performance by enfie he's going to grab the 2-0 lead and this is both maps that lawley had won going to infie in a very very very decisive fashion moon said he's better prepared than in the group stage but you know what i don't think so apparently not well enough matter of time until the bears are falling whoa whoa whoa whoa so far this is the most one-sided final since th first flight [Music] ice man not shaken look at this he as if he just woke up like it was a nice warm-up game mate where is when is the real challenge his boot camp with long life is one of the highest value boot camps of all time perfect for his group c perfect to get ready for law light in the playoffs and now he's getting all that value also for the grand final in fee looking to be a little ahead of moon in this matchup at the moment long line showed us some really close games that series could have gone either way la liga with a masterful performance there just like infy had it moon perhaps not the necessary preparation for infield and then you have to raise the question why not what was more important unbelievable envy he's so strong he's so strong 4-0 against moon in this tournament now moon was on the receiving end of a reverse sweep at the next final is he gonna lose his third grand final in a row wcg any xt wsgl is that what happening here it's looking fairly likely unless he can come up with a great reverse sweep now it's gonna be hard to do though on the humans maps pretty much after echo isles um keeper demon keep redeeming we keep on talking about it neo it doesn't seem to work the keeper naga tempo play usually looking better also keeper naga is going to make the blood mage feel awkward might be forcing the human into something else and keeper naga demon late game that seems to be the way to go here there was never ever a way to play triple hero but the thing is if you have keeper demon already what are you gonna play as a triple hero naga third that's awkward doesn't fit with the pressure of the map the tempo either so what i question is where's the innovation moon he brought the world the talent strat he introduced us to the keeper he did so much that influenced the game on a larger scale at this point he's just copying copying and adapting late it's enough for the majority of the scene still because he's executing it so well but where's the innovation where's the special tricks where's the zeppelin micro you know where is all of that it's not here yet the light has shown there are ways and the way seem to be keeper naga demon or a really good warden and if moon was able to play a very strong warden here for the rest of the series this might still be possible echo isles terenastant and az are all playable award maps but the thing is moon is not his strongest with the warden he is not the strongest warden in the world that is even he failed and when we saw moon try the warden in the group stage that was absolutely not on the level that it needs to be to beat enfield moon in a super tough spot here staring down the barrel of this grand final what to do now we had some special tricks during the summer semi-finals with tower pushes with massing is that a way back because that is where moon is really good mass hunts hunts in general dryads don't work because rifles man moon the master for the tavern heroes is it time for cheese for pocket strat so far whatever he tried wasn't the right thing what's going through his mind right now moon probably a lot a lot or nothing how can he still turn this series around is that what he's thinking about right now he's suffering you still win this best of five that's normally not he's hoping for for coach remo to give some advice but the korean code dreamer who is that even we don't really know what we know is what the next map is echo isles lalaia tried with a warden and he was tower pushed into oblivion yeah i think lolita there if he had played a naga second though this could have worked out for him but he tried to do it with the warden solo which infie slowly choked out over time with all the patients in the world in fee in this kind of shape is so dangerous so impressive he always makes the right decisions he never oversteps he always gets all the value out of his army that he can and he is so patient all the patients in the world will take his time will draw it out and will win it in the end whether it be with expansions or with tower pushes or whatever we even saw that against fly when he was engaging into creep camps with patience and i guess in that case more so confidence having that perfect game sense knowing exactly how far he can go like we saw fly do it so well in the group stage i feel like it's in really looking brilliant in these playoffs in our twitch poll by the way it was a tiny little lead for infy 52 against 48 he has three match points to become the first ever three-time wgl champion 2015 and a back-to-back win in 2020 is that what's happening three and oh really moon spawning in the upper left-hand side with an engine of war at the green because he knows a tower push might be coming and then you need the support of the engine of war moon struggling if you lose one more map this tournament is over and the old king is the new king is it going to be a clean 3-0 that would be quite devastating moon getting 3-0 in a grand final not what we're used to seeing what's the first hero is he gonna follow up with the warden like la laia did no it's gonna go back to the keeper again i think that's the better choice for him if lolita warden can't do it he can't do it also the creep on the left-hand side apparently a little harder than on the right-hand side so maybe a little bad luck here not spawning in the east but yeah moon's keeper is so much better than his warden and it's kind of good for tower push preventions and you can still go tier three someway i like that choice a lot more definitely definitely keeper if it does go late game though if we're going to base two base tier three this is a very hard map to level triple hero if you want to go keeper naga demon which seems to be the best late game then the demon hunter is not going to be able to get level 3 easily by any stretch this is echo isles this is the least experience that we have in the map pool per map not too many big items not too many camps but a very easy expansion is infie gonna make use of that i would imagine so by the way in the history of the gold league there has never been a 3-0 grand final three one three two four two four three those are the results so far could be a lot of history right here if infie takes this map he's one map away from thirty five thousand dollars and what a crazy development right how long is wcg quarterfinal ago six weeks five weeks something like that it was a three over moon and there were some crazy games in there as well with mass dragon hawks against mountain giants and weird stuff like that in here looking much better looking in incredible shape that tree of life is getting attacked by the creeps oh my goodness [Music] envy with the circle and ring no claws this time circled for the keeper as well archmage moving over there's a water lamental is there are there no wisps nope let's cancel that's the cancel and guess what that was just the archmage the footmen weren't even in moon has barely any mana left this does not look like the right opening build moon i gotta say i mean it's pretty predictable the human's gonna go green into expo and of course he's gonna play aggressively right after that moon kind of running into that one maybe he was hoping for something else but in fee he's playing the fast expansion has been not harassed harassed at all all the peasants still alive the expansion and the tower might be finishing without one single peasant going down yeah that's not supposed to be that way steph bought from the keeper so the archmage can't get it that keeps his hero kill potential alive look at the militia already are you kidding me how are they here already and it's only two he doesn't need to overreact he doesn't need to bring five and lose so much lumber two is enough to just force back these archers he did the very same thing on last refuge now question why are you moving them over but of course if there's an attack they're already there just in case and he left the footman on the left-hand side because it's enough to defend with two footmen and a couple of militia iffy is in god mode right now yeah he's just been maxing this perfectly years decades of experience perfect game sense perfect execution decisions at all times if infi gets the cancel here moon is miles behind yeah this is already checked he's getting the water mental archmage damage is enough though wow when do you ever see moon get destroyed like this infused expose up prevents level 3 he already started attacking he's got the lumber mill about to finish power build coming in there the macro absolutely on point he's got the blacksmith coming the shop a few towers the am still pressuring some foot is saved new foot is being made that is looking quite strong here close the perfect game he gets the cancel in the middle as well with all he has sticks and stones right now to work with he has like a handful of footman and a level 2 am but somehow he still is everywhere doing everything yeah his sticks and stones are beating wounds machine guns though moon is pushing here this is very at least it's the right hero combo this time no demon hunter but moon needs an incredible amount of damage to keep his tournament hopes alive all the night elves they want their wallpaper they want their stained glass but it's keeper gets the level three all right with that you can find a lot of kills almost looks like we returned to the old meta of last wgl keeper mass archer and then go tier three triple hero mountain giant it's actually not the case though we don't see a tier three here for moon you see a piece all right he has to distract one minute in the south for these aps in the main to finish is infield gonna read that as well is it gonna be that crazy or is finally something gonna catch him off guard and that's what i wanted to see for a moon two-pronged attack destro attacking at the bottom going for a little bit of hero focus because he got the staff before moon never can step out of entangles and at the same time doing this in the north this is the moon i want to see and this is the moon that is successful it's daytime right now oh it's engines of war i believe right now aps if i saw that right and a shop and a shop that was pretty much in fees strat against fly in the semi-final when entry was playing night off moon going all in with this push it's still only footman by the way no rifles also interesting it's double rex by the way very very quick and now the engines of war are finished this looks like a 2003 game two wrecks against engine of four rush with archers behind it that upgrade is going to make a massive difference if that also gets killed it's closed needs repair lots of repair and mk is out dangers of war they seem to be in the wrong position he's just chasing after the archers doesn't care about the ancients mk coming in range for the storm bald going for the naga there is a staff she gets out latest blessing coming what can you do with this huge investment now moon is stuck with this attack can't really attack has no expansion infuse on two bases the mileage infi gets out of his footman every time is absolutely ridiculous stumbled onto the keeper there's a tp but he's buying so much time when did this push start like a minute ago there's no damage at all done stumbled on the other archer expecting the staff to be on the one further in the back yeah if he knows what's happening is seeing the matrix dude you can't fool him does he have no hunch hole that's oh he surrounds the keeper trying to block his way out and that's the tp gun does he have no hundred soul this is why he goes engine of war yeah i mean it's too late he decided early to all in push that with a surprise ancient of war placement in the north but if he's like yeah whatever i can just run past these buildings archers those are the frail targets why the hell would i ever attack these engines of war seventeenth supply lead out mage is not even level three these engines of war don't really know what to attack putting his faith into the ends there's no critical building that would break infie's neck if it falls now and the one thing is the hero levels are still very weak for nf with 2-1 only get out of my base get out of my game get out of my tournament suddenly the engines of war are even starting to fall militia somehow always survive footies somehow always survive how does he do it i don't know we do have all the venoms now coming in which is on the first good answer against these defense buddies okay he'll spray of course nice as well to keep the archers at bay he's taking out the footman then rifles and casters left two engines of war fell for this though there's the heel potion left and so far it's only art is there a transition at least marksmanship or something so many militia called time and time again somehow the lumber for info is still looking good i guess because he's not going to three yet he might be doing that later once he has finally repelled this attack and that might be coming soon because the mana is starting to run out run out alchemist has pretty much no heel spray anymore mountain king all right you can get a hero kill here never mind tp and saves the rest of the army with it loses one priest but this is kind of the best moon looked in the series still facing two bases and 30 supply against him it's not exactly a confident position mass rifles that seems to be the way that seems to be the way again the lion said it already after his awl lost against sock i don't know what to do what can i do he found a couple of answers normally the best thing you can do against rifles is aoe the orcs are really strong with their stomp the undead are strong with their impale and nova but what aoe does night of really have panda nowadays doesn't seem to be playable anymore emulation bro wouldn't that be something colorful would love that okay he's diving with the artist protected by infused buildings kind of will they have a fall not only on moon's heroes but all also on moon himself looks like it saves everything that was decent damage done but it's also level 3 automate how do you get back from a situation like this normally the answer is you don't but it's moon so perhaps he can divine away the author of the history book can already get his pen and prepare the entry in ten gold leagues nobody did it three times but this is it this is pretty much it if moon doesn't cause a miracle here the first three time wdl champion still tier two here on tier 2 for a foreign long time to either be aggressive very effectively or to hold on and then tier 3 he goes for very very delayed for the knockout punch and here we see it tier 3 starting around two minutes away from castle tech and then within our fire these rifles are gonna get buffed up even more the inner fire rifle glory continues and i think if infy wins this is pretty fair to say that no knight of in the world stood stands a chance against him he killed moon twice if it continues that way he eliminated low light he eliminated colorful only foggy may be missing rifles against archers 78 53 okay clap lots of mana envy is about to end this moon can't breathe anymore you can take a couple of baths to get mana back heroes are good four three three can they do something maybe it looks like rifles rifles are uncontestable with this first mountain giant is out should have the upgrade moon needs three more of these it's a little bit expensive is the problem they don't come for free can't pay them with stones either off we go yeah off we go what can moon do trying to get rid of these rifles one after the next but the mountain king just storming forward clapping one after the next inward potion he can stay there until the end of day so much damage so far the alchemist is able to heal against that mountain giant is coming in almost immediately surrounded and damaged and he's trying to taunt but infie microing perfectly against that heel potion of the keeper of course he's ready for that and just like in summer the night elves don't stand a chance against human against infy especially what lightning for another kill moon stamps against this defeat but it feels like it's only a matter of time mountain king focus fire right clicks dispel escape taunt oh sweet tp transfer good sequence by moon oh and he died the keeper not bad by moon but even better by infy he lost hardly anything there his heroes were in trouble but he keeps them alive moon is trying to keep his tournament chances alive but that attack looks kind of pathetic yeah attacking one barracks yeah this is five larger than a single mountain giant this is absolutely miserable mk has a mana potion clap two moon at 52 supply with two mountain giants this is then almost no damage keeper is back at home though can't step onto the rest of this army has four minutes to be mined out he's constantly against two bases he didn't even he didn't even touch it once and now the paladin is here for healing inner fire that might be the last piece of the puzzle to finish the job that plus paladin great level ups great power increases for infie mountain king in trouble again there's a staff this time though we have to use it to get him out of there yeah oh wow zap but not in time there is the staff mk out of this battle for now but it feels like he doesn't even need him anymore damage is done mountain giants bruised and 80 supplier marching forward unstoppable force in fee a game a series as clean as it can be in f from beginning to end we have to be honest in complete control moon hardly a chance let's not forget that prior to this grand final he demolished the best orc player in the world with random ones and with three to one only losing in the mirror i think moon either has to find something completely new or he has to finally master the warden yeah something he was refusing to do for years yeah feels like this is the best chance indeed okay can he get the mountain king this time staff is not in range but oh the clap hurts so bad mata for moon very limited next time they meet it's probably gonna be katowice lots of time to work on it and get the revenge all right this might be the end we all know how this is gonna finish yeah this is just very very painful of course you try everything you don't want to give up 35 000 don't want to give up that world championship but mountain giants broken super bruised and the mk yeah that's it gg the first three-time gold league champion and what a domination this was the first three or four 3-0 grand final in gold league history as well the ice man nobody could get him even close to melt crazy strong performance this one and moon's victory in 1.30 i think the most convincing ones this also was looking extremely strong in feed this tournament definitely the strongest player in attendance our world champion back to back yeah three time in total and he's got another beautiful trophy now to put in his case indeed the frozen throne i guess what's with the staff of medivh oh it's heavy it's heavy yeah raise it my man the old and new walker 3 world champion is in fee bring in the prize the title the championship again back to china wgl for a while there was looking rough for the motherland where the titles always went
