Avid vs. swift: game1


Avid vs. srs: game2


Swift went out with a bang in their first Prime Defending. Consisting of members that competed together before on the old Canadian Excello as well as others, their chemistry and determination took them far into this tournament all the way from the USA qualifiers. People were shocked to see them qualify over Canada EG, who they defeated in the last round of the playoff preliminaries.

Or will it be Serious Gaming? they have been around for a while longer than the other two. They have become a veteran in the competitive DotA scene, participating in almost every major tournament and having consistent standings. Aside from online tournaments, they placed 2nd at Miage LAN in France and are expected to be at ESWC Master of Paris.

Avid has always been looked upon as one of the underrated teams in the community. At the 10th edition of the pride tournament the expectations concerning their results grew a lot because of their surprising success against Russian Fede- RuSh3d and swift during the preliminaries and playoffs. But in the second round of the playoffs they lost against the later second placed team namely Ukraine WG and dropped into the LB where they met Malaysia KS who ought to display their last station in PriDe #10. With a short entrance into leagues and tournaments they have already had some pleasing wins and good standings.

Each one of these teams may have their strong points which make them nearly equivalent and the outcome very uncertain but the remaining question is...

I'd rather see VP playing there than us trust me, but rules are made to be followed.. :-/

Let's see some gg's.

Btw. if you recall, last time we played tiebreakers (cant remember which PD, i think it was 7th) it was between VP MiZen and us (back then rB), - at first it was VP > rB, rB > mizen, mizen > vp, then in tiebreakers VP > mizen, rB > VP, mizen > rB - will the system be the same if we tiebreak 2 times, like towers/game length etc or will there be forced yet another tiebreaker?

If the tiebreaker will result in another tie, there will be an additional tiebreaker, which has to be played within 2 days.. same would be for the second time yeah and for the third well let's see first hehe.
