XcN knocks out the gods

Indonesia XcN is continuing their journey into the international competitive scene. They've already faced Internationa- MYM, and now it's time to face the gods--- Romania TeG in the ESL Major Series tournament. The match is being streamed live on GGTV.

XcN showed a powerful performance against MYM, almost defeating them with their early game dominance. Unfortunately for them, their efforts were not enough to overcome the lategame bristleback. Otherwise, they have won 2 other matches in their group for the EMS tournament.

TeG has improved a lot in the scene over the past few months. Not only did they win first place at the Miage LAN tournament, but they've had good standing in MYM Prime Defending and were the last invite into PDL.

It is always interesting to see some of Asia's finest compete against some of the world's best! Watch the match Live, now!

Brief game review:

Both teams jungled heroes leaving their solo lanes weak. The necrolyte for XcN could not take the Sven/Leshrac lane and the Romania Bird's potm fell hard to the sand king/lina lane. Meanwhile, Queen of Pain farmed amazingly against the zeus, getting an early guinsoo at 28 minutes.

The POTM died a lot early gaming, sand/king lina countered her pefectly forcing her to go bracers and a strong delay in getting any damage items. With the early kills, Lina was able to get a dagger and keep the map warded more.

Indonesia Lakuci farmed amazingly with TB, getting an early sange and yasha and later a Butterfly. The strong TB/Necrolye combo gave centaur a rough game and it was hard for the farmed sven to counter it at all.

The sven was able to get his BKB fast, as well as a MOM thanks to early kills. There was one instance where the sven and leshrac were chasing down the necrolyte on top lane, QoP teleported in to help but she missed her sonic wave. This allowed the sven to get a double kill on the QoP and Necrolyte putting him at 4-0.

Although TeG's centaur and sven farmed really well, it was not enough to counter an overfarmed queen of pain and terrorblade. The score was pretty even throughout the game, but once TB got his butterfly and XcN had an advantage in kills, they pushed down mid rax causing TeG to call it "gg."

not like he played him amazingly well or something, teg just allowed him to freefarm which cost them the game.

teg got the first ward @ 13min, thats very late vs jungling tb. no gangs on tb early for like 25min (i don't know the exact times) and there was lesh/sven top. with these circumstances u dont need any "mapawareness" at all. it was just teg's own fault.

:) maybe rinoa is a XcN fangal? :)

Or maybe shes trying to shed some light on one of the dominant dota clans in asia which has little exposure in an international perspective.
