In the 2nd game, it was Nikobaby on his favorite hero, Faceless Void, who did not have the easiest of starts. His itemization is really what helped Alliance crush their opponents. Despite being a long, drawn out game which lasted over 50-minutes, Alliance won and have secured a spot in the upper-bracket final against Secret. The winner of this game will qualify directly to the Grand Finals.
We had @NikoDOTA get a bit bored and tried to 1v5 but in the end we still keep a dry clean sheet with a nice 2-0 win!🙌
