Kelly "Teek" Law-yone takes a look at the upper final match between X6tence and ShipIt at BlizzCon 2009.


ShipIt vs x6tence

x6tence - Druid/lock/war
ShipIt - pal/dk/hunter


Match One

Ruins of Lordaeron - X6tence’s druid (Souler) gets focused heavy and strangulated at half health and explodes. Coilermaster/sukiyami.
SHIPIT


Match Two

Shipit starts out as very offensive with Kamiu trying to keep up Tsukiyami’s pet. Warrior bladestorm causes a disengage, and Kamiu cleanses an early fear. Souler gets focused again and runs around the pillar desperate to get away but can’t escape leading to another win for Shipit.


Match Three

X6: changes to dk/war/pal

Dalaran - Tsukiyami gets focused, but so does Siler. Siler goes into a bladestorm, but it is not enough to pressure the hunter. Souler is getting low and at 4k hp, he has to bubble and drops down to the bottom floor. Tsukiyami gets a freedom but gets charged by the warrior. Tsukiyami does a feign death but it is not enough to trick x6tence and he goes down, and Coilmaster quickly after. X6tence wins, making the series 2-1, with Shipit in the lead.


Match Four

Shipit kamiu, coilmaster, suki(hunter/lock/pal)
vs x6 (dk/war/pal (falcon/siler/souler)

Blades Edge - Siler pops an early bladestorm while sticking onto Coilmaster. Kamiu trinkets a hammer of justice, and coilmaster uses a defensive shadowfury to peel off some of the damage. Coilmaster then gets BoP’d and Siler gets low. Souler gets extremely low and is forced to bubble. After bubble wears off, Souler gets feared and Coilmaster drops to the bottom level.

Souler is stuck in an ice trap, which forces Siler to pop shield wall. Coilmaster summons a voidwalker to help with the damage he is taking in. Tsukiyami uses scatter shot to get pressure off of coilmaster, but Siler LoS’s the hunter. Siler now is using a shield and sword to mitigate damage, but Suki now has freedom and focuses Souler. Souler gets really low but he heals back up to full. Meanwhile, Coilmaster gets focused and dies due to an intimidating shout used by Siler. X6tence wins, making the series 2-2, the winner of the next match going into the grand finals.


Match Five

x6tence - Pal/dk/war
ShipIt - pal/dk/hunter

Nagrand - Falcon starts the match on Coilmaster, so it is just DK on DK action. Tsukiyami is playing survival, instead of beast master. Souler is being focused and runs behind a pillar to cast a flash of light, but doesn’t get it off in time and dies WITHOUT using bubble. It was a quick victory for Shipit, and they go off to face TSG in the grand finals!
