![]() His reaction speed is simply shocking and he has exceptional powers of prediction. Unlike ARS-ART, Vigoss prefers to gank with his teammates. ![]() Even though he is not as good a support player as NS, he can provide many Observer Wards.Vigoss is our other hero killer. His solo-killing ability is simply incomparable, often seizing an opportunity another player would have missed. At the time, VP's captain and strategic mastermind Jolie described ARS-ART and Vigoss as thus:"ARS-ART's (Virtus.Smile) playstyle is very unique, different from any other. Without a doubt, his and Vigoss's performances both deserved the title “King of Gankers”. He attained an acme of perfection with heroes like Nerubian Assassin, Gondar and Pudge. He seemed to be naturally endowed with instincts of an assassin and filled to the core with a desire for aggression. If MYM PriDe #6 was said to be Vigoss's mainstage, then MYM PriDe #7 was ARS-ART's. It was a fierce, seemingly preordained meeting that was hard to forget. MYM first defeated VP in the winners' bracket, but they were then defeated by VP slaughtering their way out of the losers' bracket. Even though IceFrog had just released 6.48b the day before, this tournament still used 6.43b as the competitive version. VP went undefeated to take the tournament while Say Plz took 3rd place. TFL was the only tournament during the 6.43 era that VP did not win. In the finals of the TFL, SK got their revenge for Dreamhack Summer by defeating MYM to claim victory. xDT commonly employed heroes that were extremely unpopular at the time like Anti-Mage, Terrorblade and Faceless Void often surprising the opponent. VP got sent to the losers' bracket where they were eliminated by the previously unheard of South Korean dark horse team xDT (Extreme DotA Team). In the first round, SK fought three hard fought battles to defeat VP at their peak. They were on their way of creating their own legend of winning three consecutive MYM PriDe events.Īfter MYM PriDe #6, the long and drawn out TFL competition finally reached the playoffs. After a bitter 84min contest, VP emerged victorious. MYM PriDe #6 turned out to be a cakewalk for the Russians with five Russian teams making the playoffs. ![]() T_T would go on to win SK Gaming's sponsorship, and become another powerful and influential team following the steps of MYM and VP. Beastmaster synergized very well with the lineup providing excellent vision for ganks as well as a creep for a quick teleport from Tinker. This is because they introduced an innovation of their own-a jungling Beastmaster by Merlini together with a jungling Furion to quickly reach the all-important Level 6. Ultimately, MYM defeated T_T with their own version of the devastating global strategy, swapping out Spectre for the famous MYM Tinker surprisingly not played by Merlini. Carrying widespread influence, this tournament drew 33 participating teams. Using version 6.44, this was the first international-level competition that used -XL mode (three bans for each side). In the final, Russia defeated Denmark to become victor.Īnother important tournament in June was DreamHack Summer 2007. GL ended up representing China, but due to the bad internet, they were eliminated after one win and one loss. China's team was organized by ChinaPanda who took care of players who wanted sign up and play. On June 8th, MYM hosted the MYM Prime Nations #1 tournament with players representing their countries that ran concurrent to MYM PriDe #6. Just like how Michael Jordan had to overcome many difficulties before dominating the NBA, after this defeat VP ruled the DotA world from 6.43 to the 6.48 era. In the ASUS Spring 2007 Tournament, the LighTofHeaven-led Say Plz defeated VP to become champion. Wings would go on to win The International 2016 despite only posting a 8-6 record in the group stage, defeating Digital Chaos 3-1 in the grand finals.On May 8th, VP (Virtus Pro) was formed from players out of MaGe and DoTa. Despite a mediocre performance at the Manila Major 2016, the team continued to find success finishing second at the Nanyang Dota 2 Championships S2 and placing fourth at DPL Season 1. This was the first tournament win for bLink as well as Wings Gaming as an organization. In December 2015, Wings earned their first top four placement at WCA 2015.ĭespite a poor start to 2016, the team was able to display their incredible chemistry and defeat Team Liquid 3-0 in the grand finals of ESL One Manila 2016. He later joined Wings Gaming after Speed Gaming decided to shuffle their roster. ![]() He also joined Chinese powerhouse Team DK as a stand in for WPC 2014.
