In the second game, Nisha's Dragon Knight dominated gpk's Nature's Prophet in the lane, but after the laning phase, BB's lineup with Batrider, Kunkka, Nature's Prophet, and Alchemist started to gain momentum. Insania's Treant Protector was ineffective, and BB continuously won team fights, taking down towers and securing Roshan to widen the economic gap! BB learned from the first game and didn't give Liquid a chance to drag it out. They relied on their strong mid-game lineup to push high ground, winning two team fights to end the game and even the score!
Both teams' drafts:
Radiant Liquid: Insania (Treant Protector), m1CKe (Mirana), 33 (Beastmaster), Boxi (Dark Willow), Nisha (Dragon Knight)
Dire BB: gpk (Nature's Prophet), Save (Batrider), MieRo (Kunkka), TORONTOTOKYO (Chen), Saika (Alchemist)
