After Sunday's games, we finally have the last two teams standing in Brawl:
[coL]compLexity and
[Mouz]Mousesports. They're now waiting to duke it out in a best of 5 to determine who will win the
$4,000 first prize and who will have to settle for
$1,500.
In many minds, the clear favorite to take the first prize is
coL, who have been looking strong in every tournament they've entered in the last few months. They've beaten
Mouz quite convincingly (2-0) in the first round of the Brawl Final Four and have also been going through
[CLG]Counter Logic Gaming in a closer series (2-1), which means that
coL is coming from the winner's bracket, and therefore they have a one-game advantage going into the final against
Mouz.
Mouz on the other hand had a long way to the finals. After suffering a loss to
coL, they faced the Australian giant
[aL]Absolute Legends, but managed to go through 2-0 against them and reaching the finals of the loser's bracket. Here, they met the Swedish powerhouse
CLG and ended up completely crushing them with a very unconventional Tiny/Tidehunter combination. The Tiny pick has been getting some attention by
Mouz lately and it will be interesting to see how
coL responds to the extremely aggressive playstyle of
Mouz.
The games in the loser's bracket finals between
Mouz vs
CLG is definitely worth a watch, so if you didn't catch them, you can watch them on our
video system.
The
Brawl Grand Finals sponsored by
TwitchTV,
TeamSpeak and
SteelSeries are set for
March 11th at 17:00 CET. We hope to see you all for the finals, where there will be a possibility to win a
SteelSeries Dota 2 Mousepad and even
$600 cash prizes, if you watch the
Dota2Replays stream with the IRC chat open.
See you there!
