The Galaxy Battles 2 Southeast Asian Qualifier wrapped up today with a final best-of-three between my Mineski and Int Fnatic, which Mineski dominated 2-0.


Mineski made devastating use of Shadow Demon in both games of this series. th Anucha 'Jabz' Jirawong finished Game 1 with the second highest XPM on his team and had a ton of items for a position five support - Force Staff, Blink Dagger, Aether Lens , Gem of True Sight and an Aeon Disk.

ph Michael 'ninjaboogie' Ross took over Shadow Demon duty in the second game to allow Jabz to roam with Tusk. this time, Mineski saved Shadow Demon right up until the penultimate pick phase, grabbing Luna last. The classic Luna/SD combination allowed Mineski to melt towers, removing Fnatic's safe places to farm very quickly. It took just under 40 minutes to end the game against Fnatic's staunch high ground defense.

You might be surprised to hear that this will be Mineski's first Major of the season. They've qualified for four other events so far, but they've all been Minors. That being said, Mineski are already fifth on the Qualifying Points ranking, and a Major could give their standing a big boost.

The Galaxy Battles Major will take place at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan from Jan 15-21. The SEA Qualifier is the first to finish, but the remaining regions will all be wrapping up over the next few days.
