Minsk rangers
[[Bullet]] In front of you is a girl of one of the players Power Ranges. Is it possible to upset it with a loss?
The second semi -final battle pushed the Belarusian team Power Ranges And Russian Relax. And the first match with a great advantage won the latter. Versions about this PR players nominated several at once. So, for example, FNG said the following: “We use the tactics of dominance and the corresponding heroes. But similar is possible only with clear coordinated actions of the team. And we did not manage to achieve the level of control that we need ". The Russians were inclined to the fact that Belarusians simply do not know how to play in an aggressive manner. The opinions of fans have traditionally divided and were not in everything were the form of pleasant. In a word, everything is as always!
The second match showed that FNG There was right about control and dominance. Before starting to cut mobs, Belarusians killed Roshan and from this moments firmly held the advantage. Scandal lightning rushed along all three lines and, one after another, destroyed the characters of the enemy. His skill to a large extent ensured Power Ranges Victory in the second match, ending with an indecently large margin – 26: 7. As promised, PR corrected their mistakes and showed a very worthy game.
The third match caused a real storm of delight among fans and especially fans Power Ranges. Using the same aggressive tactics, Belarusians crushed Relax in all three lines. While the main PR fighters, led by the aforementioned Scandal, thundered the upper line, distracting the full composition of Russians, the rest of the team cuts creeps and methodically destroyed the towers. Then they changed the line and repeated everything with the same perseverance.
► This fan has a very eloquent gaze. At this moment, PR finished cutting relax.
In the second half of the match, Belarusians strengthened the pressure and began to finally push the “Foreign Ministry”. Even Roshan got them several times for the battle. The alignment of forces, no matter how Rulax tried, was not at all in their favor. Finally, with the same huge margin of gold and murders as in the last match, PR under the roar of the crowds, the final assault on the Foreign Ministry began, demolishing everything in their path. The third match and victory in the second semifinals remained with them.
Dark horse
That the fight between Virtus.Pro And Power Ranges will be heavy and unpredictable, everyone understood. But no one could imagine that so. Acting as a well -coordinated organism, the "rangers" arranged a massacre, methodically killing the "virtus" on all lines. The promised aggressive game in the performance of Belarusians turned out to be unexpectedly beautiful and … frightening!
In both matches Virtus.Pro was defeated with frightening lightness. Apparently, on this day the “virtuis” were not in form, their inability to recapture the upper line and arrange a Royal Oak Casino competent ambush on the opponents who came for Roshan.
► some visitors reacted to the defeat of their favorite team too emotionally.
The first match began with active actions. The VP's calm pharmacy was unpleasantly surprised by Rasha Belarusians. And although the attack did not bring the “rangers” the expected result, the necessary effect they achieved: the Russian team was demoralized. Already by the tenth minute of atrocities Scandal They caused a standing ovation, which was not in the best way at the team spirit of “virtuos”, and so shocked by fierce pressure of opponents. Even the initially successful attack on them turned into a defeat. Successfully fled from several opponents, Scandal took revenge on the fallen comrades, committing a triple murder. Having lost the rhythm at the very beginning, the VP was no longer able to intercept the initiative, and the Belarusians won the first battle with a large margin on the account.
Remembering the recent battle VP With DT168 , Many expected the losers to suddenly come to life, but the "virtuis" did not move away from a crushing defeat. Less than a minute after the start Smile died at hand J4. "Foreign Ministry" on both sides kept strong loners in the face Scandal And God. The latter played for Brewmaster , Accordingly, for most characters, he posed a serious danger even without support.
► virtus.Pro are extremely concentrated, but fatigue makes itself felt. They did not show a decent level of the game that day.
Of the small hassles, the meeting aroused greatest interest Batrider smile And Slark Moon. There was already a similar battle, however, instead of Moon there was ZXC there. The confrontation of these heroes did not end in favor Virtus.Pro. The tension continued to grow, but not for long, for Illidan I ran into Scandal. Given that throughout the second match all the runes took the “rangers”, this frag was very important for further control of the map.
[[Bullet]] Only the Belarusian team could boast of an abundance of fans. So is it worth it to be surprised at the victory of PR with such and such support?
At the fifteenth minute, the teams stopped being careful and collided on the lower line. As a result of the transient confrontation, the VP lost three, and the PR of only one. But soon the situation changed again: PR in full force went to the Foreign Ministry, where Illidan was first taken, and then immediately Smile. Further advancement Power Ranges According to the “Mid”, it was interrupted by the fully revived “virtuos”, who, having repulsed the assault, killed only one “Ranger”. At the twenty -third minute, a collision on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs again occurred, and the VP again lost three, taking only one enemy hero.
Having recovered, the “virtus” attacked the base of Belarusians from the lower line, but the attack was repelled, albeit at the cost of two fighters. However, on the way back the "bears" was waiting for an ambush in the person Chshrct , who pulled off the Russians and gave Moon the time to increase the fragment score to 17: 9, and then add another frag, taking the fleeing Morf Illidan. In the thirtieth minute, shortly after the murder of Roshan, the Rangers attacked the VP base, repeating their tactics and walking along the lower line. This crusade brought them four frags and put a defenseless base at their feet. A couple of minutes later, Belarusians re -attacked, only from the upper line, and as a result of a fierce battle, the entire rival was eliminated. 27:11-another convincing victory.
