Speed Gaming wins MLG Tournament

[Desolator]

After an incredibly exciting final day with an even more incredible final. Speed Gaming finally grabbed themselves a major championship after winning multiple of smaller tournaments. Team DK put up a great fight but in the end, Midas Gaming proved too strong.
Has the wheel turned? Alliance were eliminated in the group stage, Natus Vincere did not get further than the semi finals. Team DK and Speed Gaming proved that the rest of the world needs to update their Dota playbook. Be that maximize the gold curve through multiple Hands of Midas, mix up their laning or just using those awkward angles and laning IQ to win the game, whatever it is; Speed has it. The players were completely thrilled to be champions.

This was one hell of a tourney. By far the best since TI3!

I'm very very happy DK lost Watched all 3 games. Excellent stuff.

NaVi messed up game 3. Totally outpicked and outplayed.

Same here man and to think that he was a stand in for one of their main players Bone7. The guy hasn't even finished school and yet his skills are godlike.

Yeah, he's outlaning players like Mushi and Dendi even in unfavorable matchups. I don't remember which match was it exactly but he even outlaned an OD with TA(impressive stuff). He has a bright future from the looks of things.

DK's lineup is also so very strong. Navi and alliance were rather disappointing this time. Maybe the 6.79 effect? Remains to be seen.

I believe that was against FATA in the semis, once he was Elder Titan against OD and the second time he was TA against him.
