Beyond the Summit Pro Series
Season 4: Southeast Asia came to an end today with the grand finals between
Team Dog and TNC Predator deciding which team would be crowned champions of
what seemed like the final event for the region this year.
TNC seemed to be at the top of
their game in the lower bracket finals, dominating T1 and eliminating them from
the BTS Pro Series Season 4: SEA in an admirable third place. For TNC, this set
up a rematch of the upper bracket final as they would face off against Team Dog
in the grand finals with the victor of the best-of-five being crowned champions
of the event.
While Team Dog had won the upper
bracket final just yesterday, it seemed as though a completely different TNC
came out to battle today as they stomped their opponent in the opening game of
the series. Ending in less than half an hour and leaving TD with only eight
kills in total, TNC seemed relentless and on a warpath.
But that was nowhere near the end
of things as TD seemed to find their footing in game two, even though TNC
picked up the Morphling once again. It may have taken 40-minutes, but the
series was tied at 1-1 as TD looked to repeat the upper bracket final. Once again,
in game three, it was all TD as they pushed TNC to the brink of elimination by
taking the series lead and putting themselves on championship point with a
decisive win.
With their backs against the wall,
TNC needed a victory to take us to a game five and they gave us exactly that
with a magnificent game to tie things at 2-2. Although TD mounted a few small
comebacks, it was at the cost of multiple buybacks, which TNC punished a few
minutes later to force the GG call and the first full five-game series at a BTS
Pro Series SEA event as all three previous iterations ended in 3-0 sweeps from
the victors.
With these two teams throwing
everything at one another, unfortunately one would have to face defeat and it
became clear rather early on in the final game that it would be Team Dog who were
suffering. TNC marched through every lane and destroyed their opponent’s hopes
of a tournament victory, dropping the first lane of barracks in only 23-minutes
– with the game ending just a few moments later.
With that, TNC Predator close out
2020 with an amazing 3-2 victory at the BTS Pro Series Season 4: SEA, beating
out Team Dog in a fantastic grand final. Although just a makeshift roster, much
like Among Us previously, Team Dog secure a valiant second place and now we
look toward the new year for more SEA Dota 2 action.
