Ukrainian gold at ESWC 2011




Natus Vincere repeatedly triumph in a major LAN tournament. In the rematch of the Gamescom final against EHOME, the Ukrainians showed no signs of weakness and remain unchallenged in Dota 2, cashing-in 12,000$ as champion.

While EHOME had earned their slot in the final after erasing 4GL, the Chinese were not able to put up lasting resistance in both games. The first encounter had been won by Na`Vi based on picks and play, starring a roaming Butcher by Dendi who landed clutch hooks beyond countable. Disorganized Chinese heroes were hunted down seperately by an aggressively roaming Na`Vi squad until the fastly approaching surrender.

Although EHOME stepped up in terms of coordination in the second game, the Ukrainian tripple lane with AA as Night Stalker achieved a big lead, initiated by a 2-0 fight in the sentinel woods before the bell of creeps rang. Despite having done a better job defending and counter-ganking the gold difference leaned to heavily in Na`Vi's favour to pull off a comeback and keep the chance to defend their title alive.
