Game 1:
Despite a heavy loss in the group stage against the Malaysians, LGD were in a complete different form today as they absolutely demolished MUFC in the first game of the grand final. MUFC's choice of Death Prophet, Necrolyte, and Brewmaster was ambitious as they aimed to set the flow of the mid game in their favor. However their plan completely backfired as LGD's superior laning choices crushed MUFC, and the Malaysians had no chance to recover from the huge deficit and calls GG just 20 minutes into the game with little contention.
Game 2:
MUFC decides to play with a different set of heroes they're comfortable with, picking up the likes of Enchantress and Lifestealer. LGD continues to play around Lone Druid and Beastmaster with the aim to build an early lead through the ganks from xiao8. An early first blood by MUFC was able to give them a good lead in their aggressive trilane, with Lifestealer reaping the benefits and getting good farm.
Several careless mistakes gave LGD the opportunities they needed to stay in the game. The ganking power coming from Beastmaster and Nyx Assassin forced MUFC into a defensive state as they seek to avoid more unnecessary deaths. The gaming deciding fights occurred in the middle lane, with MUFC getting killed multiple times and LGD suffering no loss. LGD's synergy was amazing and gave MUFC no room to make a comeback. MUFC could only despair as they looked to have secured a good lead in the early game and calls GG. LGD will win the grand final with a score of 2:0.
