Game One - Echo Isles

ReMinD and Creolophus opted for two different strategies in the late game for the first in Echo Isles, despite opening with the same first hero with the Demon Hunter.

ReMinD spawned on the top left side, building an Ancient of War near the green creep camp early on to take down with his hero and a single archer. Creolophus on the other hand, decides to build his Ancient of War further down his base, near the Mercenary Camp, managing to creep that area along with buying a Troll Shadow Priest. ReMinD comes to harass, only to see Creolophus taking down the last creep.

Some creeping and small skirmishes occur during mid game. ReMinD then decides to creep the Marketplace, with Creo trying for a creepjack. Both move out to gain momentum. Creo picks up a Naga Sea Witch at the nearby Taverm, but ReMinD goes straight for the Ogre Magi with a Mana Burn, and managed to pick up a Greater Healing Potion for his hero.

Creolophus has an expansion up and running in mid-game. ReMinD managed to scout the expansion, but didn't try to take it down. ReMinD had two archers shadowmelded in the middle of the map, while Creo camped near it to prevent them from escaping. After a few minutes, ReMinD goes in to save his archers which were running away from Creolophus, using a Staff of Preservation on the Demon Hunter to save one archer. He drops the Staff on the floor for his Keeper of the Grove to pick up (with Creo trying to steal the item) and he managed to save another dying archer again.

ReMinD decides to tech to Druids of the Claw, building to Ancient of Lores to tier 3. Creo, having an advantage with his early expansion, hit 70+ food count quickly with Archers and Druids of the Talons.

ReMinD sets up an expansion and as soon as it goes up, Creo went to attack and take it down. ReMinD decides not to defend it, and attacks Creolophus' main base instead. Creo portals back as soon he destroyed the expo. Creolophus' army was far superior to ReMinD's, forcing the Korean to retreat. Creolophus had the expansion and far better army, defeating ReMinD to take game one.


Game Two - Terenas Stand

Creo spawns on the upper left of the map, with ReMinD on bottom right. Both start with the Demon Hunter, creeping nearby creep camps with the help of the Ancient of War at the Goblin Laboratory. With around 4 archers, they creep the Goblin Merchant and get level 3 for their heroes.

Both players hit their 2, and both gets the Naga Sea Witch as their second hero. Creo decides to play the offensive card to ReMinD's base with his archers. During the battle, Creo's Naga Sea Witch health got too low, forcing the hero to TP away. During this time, the Demon Hunter was taking damage as well, going under 80 HP but the Naga's TP managed to portal just in time before the hero was taken down by ReMinD' s army.

ReMinD decides to attack Creolophus' base. Both players add a Shredder to their army, known to do good damage against Archers. ReMinD managed to destroy Creo's shredder, forcing Creolophus to stay behind his base. ReMinD adds some Talons to his army, with 47 food count against Creo's 36.

The game winning skirmish was when Creolophus took a gamble and went straight to ReMinD's Demon Hunter, managing to kill it. ReMinD didn't have a TP during his offensive push. Creo's Demon Hunter was at the brink of death as well, but fortunately the Naga with Staff was right behind to save it. Creo then pushes back with master Druid of the Claws, and ReMinD was unable to get back from the crucial mistake. Creo wins the match 2-0.
