KOTH - MYM 2:0 DG

delirium gaming, dota, dota-league, king of the hill, mym.dota

SteelSeries has expanded their King of the Hill-concept to the DotA-scene, and in the very first KOTH-vote over at Dota-League.com, Internationa- MYM.DotA has been chosen for the premiere match.

The ESWC third-place finisher has been laying a bit low since the American event, losing in ENADC to Team Pandemic and drawing against Avid in Prime Defending League. Now they have the chance to revenge themselves, as they are pitted against Finland Delirium Gaming in a battle for 250€. Both teams have been voted into the tournament, with MYM grabbing an whopping 33% of the votes, and the Finnish team sneaking into the top two with 11%.

Delirium Gaming made a name for themselves when they beat SK Gaming in the Semi-final of Dota Masters 9; thus becoming the first team to beat the Swedes in an official 6.52e-match. The game is not yet scheduled, but be sure to check back for a matchdate later this week.

Update:

The teams have agreed to play the game at 20:00 CET tonight. The game will be played in a best of three mode, and the winner will be awarded the 250€ and stay as King of the Hill - atleast until the next match!

You can follow live picks and bans in #dota-league on QuakeNet and in our Matchticker for the game.

 

Update 2:

In a onesided encounter, MYM took the first King of the Hill-title, as they brushed Delirium Gaming aside with a solid 2-0 victory. More info about the games can be found below.

I think that from the pool there were many more interesting matchups than MYM vs Random-3rd-div-team.

I understand if it was a bit unclear, its not that I dislike your team, but for a tournament like this I would love to see teams like Shakens, Delirium, WBG etc.

A match like you just played (and you played it very well), you outplayed (and picked) DG on almost every position and won the game without any trouble at all (except the 2nd game got a bit out of hands occasionaly (spell?)). And that is just not entertaining to watch - and I guess thats a big part of what koth is for?



on a sidenote, I dont think you guys need the 250€, but heck, what do I know :)

The KOTH would not be as interesting to the mainstream DotA scene if you pick upknown teams to play against unknown teams, which is why the choose a top team. I am sure it wont "just" be teams that are "easily beatable"..
Knowing my destiny - Is accepting your defeat...

You honestly think mym bashing a 3-5div. team is interesting?

My point is that this shouldnt be the top-6 teams battling eachother for 250€ every week, but upcoming talented teams - like the ones I mentioned already.

We already have plenty (which I personally enjoy) of top-matches in PDL and PriDe.

Why r u calling me a troll? Did I offend you anyway? I just said i don't like dota - and that's my personal opinion. You don't have to like it but deal with it.

What does whether you enjoy DotA or not, have to do with this thread about the matches between MYM and DG. If you really feel the need to express your opinion suitably, email yourself.

Nicely played MYM as usual.
