EMS: MYM vs XcN
This is the first time 
XcN has signed up for an international DotA tournament; the ESL Major Series DotA tournament. They have been placed in the same group as 
MYM and 
TeG and are set to play MYM right now!
It has always been XcN's dream to face off against one of the top tier teams like MYM, and now they have the chance! Unfortunately, both teams found it difficult to find a suitable host. 
MYM|Fear ended up hosting which was good for XcN, but it seems 
MYM|Maelk and others were spiking badly.
With four stunners on their side, XcN took the advantage early through midgame, constantly killing the weaker heroes like Leshrac, causing him to get severly outleveled. On the other hand, Bristleback was leisurely free farming for a long time, getting a fast hood and radiance.
Although their stuns and spells were enough to sweep out most of MYM's heroes, the Bristleback ended up getting a triple kill at one point because he was just too tough to take out. Sand King couldn't do much with his ultimate anymore once most of the Scourge heroes got their blink daggers.
Bristleback became unkillable with 30+ armor but he could barely enter the Scourge base sometimes because XcN was doing a good job nuking the creep waves and in fights. Although the Bristleback could tank a lot he was constantly getting disabled. Most of the Scourge heroes had blink daggers as well, allowing them to blink away from the Bristleback, heal and then come back.
The game was looking good for XcN from the start, but unfortunately their efforts just weren't enough to stop the overpowered Bristleback. Fear was able to sit and tank through all their damage and hit down buildings, slowly but surely they got all their raxes down!

Maelk probably knew what the host would be like,so he chose the most suitable line-up.Hero combinations that require precise timing and exact positioning were not viable under the conditions they faced,so he decided to play it safe.
Good game by both teams,looking forward to their ESWC clashes | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Why the goals always go to BB?!
if doesn't have dazzle in game, BB won't make anything. BB with dazzle and nekro healing is IMBA. Dazzle wins the game alone!!! Really a incridible match, that will go to the history of DotA | |||||||||||||

A incredible match to both teams, the problem so far is just lag, lets hope they can find better host next time, so there won't be any debates about lagging ^^

The 20 second respawn for Bristleback is ridiculous. If it wasn't for that imbalanced combo I doubt MYM would have won. Bristleback being nearly unkillable and Dazzles ulti. But then XcN didn't have much of late game heroes nor did they ban either hero. MYM performance was bad but I guess I don't know what to think of the game since lag played a role in it. But their luck this game didn't help them vs KS.

Quoting yuniardi: yeah.. the delay is almost 2seconds. so you should think really fast and predict your enemy's move asap,or it will be too late hahaha.. any replay? where? so indonesia couldnt be abandoned eh? they give mym a hard fight and a hard game.. i will beat u one day! to the glory!!
| |
XCN proud of indonesia. Good job by showing the good score even thou u guys having lagg. MYM play safe but get beaten at last. rofl @ that.

I almost don't believe that strong team like MYM can be raped easily by XCN in beginning and mid game with awesome kill stats. Go go XCN
