GotFrag.com - SK-Gaming vs. Complexity

This series turned from something that was supposed to be a run of the mill mirror match with extremely talented players. But it turned into something far more interesting. Both of these teams have practiced heavily against each other, which meant that all the players were well aware of tactics and habits heading into this series. However, Complexity did have a strategy set aside specifically for when they ran against SK-Gaming: shadow dance and arcane specs.

Unfortunately for Complexity, the weakness of their alt spec was widely seen in the first game. Happyminti decided to open on SK’s priest, Realz, and popped Shadow Dance without hesitation. Pookz, the mage from SK, was able to control Minti enough until his Shadow Dance had run out. Once Shadow Dance was over, Complexity was out of luck as their damage output was meaningless, allowing SK to take the first game.

The second map was a different story as the bridge of Blade’s Edge proved to be too much of a snag for Enforcer. He had already blown most of his cooldowns except for Blind and when it came down to the wire, he couldn’t save himself. Realz was out of LoS for just a bit too long and wasn’t able to save him either, leading to SK’s first loss.

The last two games played out much too similarly to the first game. Happyminti was able to open up on Realz and Pookz but excellent play from SK allowed them to survive the burst of Shadow Dance / Arcane, after which the coL team really has nothing to offer in terms of offensive capabilities.
