In the first game, Falcons had the advantage in all three lanes during the laning phase, with Malr1ne's Pangolier completely suppressing 7e's Earth Spirit! However, Falcons' several overextensions allowed 7E's Earth Spirit to catch up, giving TZ a breather! In the mid-game team fights, TZ's teamwork paid off. Although skiter's Nature's Prophet had an Aegis in the first Roshan fight, he was instantly killed, and two teammates were also lost! In the second Roshan fight, TZ decisively rushed and secured the Aegis, then pushed high ground, leveraging the infinite violent output of YSR-04E's Shadow Fiend with a Daedalus to crush Falcons, taking the first point against the odds!
Both teams' BP:
Radiant TZ: YSR-04E Shadow Fiend, ponlo Sniper, zzq Treant Protector, Beyond Centaur Warrunner, 7e Earth Spirit
Dire Falcons: ATF Doom, Sneyking Sven, Cr1t Snapfire, Malr1ne Pangolier, skiter Nature's Prophet
