Team DD moves on to round 2

by Zena V. Magto

Team Divergent Dimension was able to grab a spot in round two as they beat KPD Esports in a 22-minute brawl, ending the tourney for the later team.

In the early game, both teams were just farming. Team DD’s draft most especially, requires a lot of farming. Nothing was really going on until Team DD drew first blood seven minutes in the game.

KPD’s hard carries, Storm Spirit and Phantom Lancer keep getting killed in the game. Both are almost nowhere to be found on the map, but when they do show up, they get overpowered by Team DD. They made sure to not give KPD a chance to gain an advantage.

The match took a turn at the 18th minute. A set of racks from the KPD side has been destroyed by Team DD. KPD is already 20k gold and 15k experience behind Team DD. The game ended in favor of Team DD.

The MVP of the round is Renzo “renzodotes” Orillosa. He carried Meepo, with the stat 10 kills, 3 deaths and 2 assists.
