Mousesports and 
Kaipi, who are currently on a confirmed hot streak after having beaten directly invited 
Team Liquid.
The team of interest going into the competition was the much speculated about new roster of
dd.Dota, who got off to a good start defeating 
Next.Kz followed by promising CIS team 
RoX.KiS, before running into Mouz in the semi-finals. While the first game of this series provided some really interesting strategies and a glimpse into the potential of the dd.Dota roster, ultimately Mouz were more disciplined, winning them the first game and then taking that momentum into the second game of the day.Meanwhile, by far the biggest upset of the tournament was Kaipi, looking to reprise their strong showing in last weeks EIZO Cup. As many fans had written them off when going up against such an established name as Team Liquid, they managed to power through even after losing the first game of the series, without sacrificing their unconventional picking style, giving
Artour 'Arteezy' Babaev his by now signature Zeus two games in a row. This combined into a global ganking lineup with Nature's Prophet, Chaos Knight and Wisp for game two, while in game three they played a highly aggressive game with Faceless Void of all heroes.For todays match-up Kaipi will be looking for revenge, as last time the two teams met in the WePlay Dota 2 League Mouz took a 2-0 victory off the younger team, who had to play without Arteezy due to the unfortunate scheduling of the games.
