LOS BA\u00d1OS\u00a0— European side OG proved to be too much for Filipino quintet TNC in the finals of the Mars DOTA 2 League in Macau on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

Despite being just a minor tournament, implications for qualification in TI8 were at stake, and OG did not just take home US$130,000 or about P6.5 million, but also got 150 DOTA Pro Circuit points which are vital in their bid to make it to Seattle next year.<\/p>\n

TNC went to a hot start in the best-of-three round as the team went 3-0 to open Game 1 behind Carlo Palad’s first blood as Storm Spirit and two more from Marc Fausto as Terrorblade.<\/p>\n

But just as Johan Sundstein’s Tiny began to work, so did OG’s fightback, and Roman Fominok’s mid-game domination as Morphling spelled doom for TNC, forcing the club to concede in the 39th minute.<\/p>\n

OG then started red hot in Game 2, going 3-0 to begin the rematch, and the team made sure that it will not blow the opening barrage despite Fausto’s Dragon Knight keeping TNC afloat. TNC called GG after a little less than 40 minutes as OG completed a 2-0 sweep of the series.<\/p>\n

TNC will still take home US$65,000 or about P3.25 million and 90 DPC points for the runner-up finish.<\/p>\n
