Wings Crowned As TI6 champions | TI6

Wings Gaming in this International has been one of the most consistently performing teams. With a hero pool as large as Dota’s hero pool, wings gaming showed that they could draft any hero and win with it in a comfortable manner (well, except pudge! But lets not go there).

Another team which deserved to win the title was Digital Chaos. They had the toughest routle amongst the top 3 teams. After being kicked down to lower bracket by Wings and then defeating the team that was responsible for the exit of OG ie TNC. And then they had to beat a formidable EHOME. And on the very same day as the finals they were pitted against the tournament favorites EG. And it takes a lot of resilience and perseverance to do such a feat and well played DC.

The series was a 4 game series, Wings winning 3-1. They had somewhat unothrodox draft. Despite them being known for such whacky draft, this one did not quite pan out as they hoped. They got ran over by W33’s Skywrath Mage and Moo’s Timbersaw. And even though Shadow’s Silencer was supposed to counter the heroes from DC, he never got the farm required and Blink’s storm was also sub-par. Pudge pick for Iceice did not really work out all that well. And DC run over Wings.

Wings 1-0 DC

After that game DC were on a high, taking game from the mighty Wings. Second game, they opened their draft with Oracle, Void to which DC pick a classic Void counter Naga Siren. Early game they applied some pressure onto Invoker it wasnt that significant. Blink got a Midas by 10 mintues and there was no stopping him from there. Even though Resolution was farming decently, the rest of DC were being run over by the ganking lineup of Wings. Moo’s Doom also had very less impact.

Wings 1-1 DC

Game 3 was completely Shadow man handling the DC team. With his immaculate performance on the Void and a final score of 20-0-16 he proved why he is the one of the best player in the world. It wasnt just him though, Blink on DP, Innocence again on Oracle steamrolled through their opponents. Resolution got pretty fat on his Clinkz and found some kills too but Shadow kept on getting these amazing chronospheres catching W33 and Resolution in it. W33 also died way too many times in the game and so did Moo, but it was hardly their fault as Wings was just rampaging through DC and the game ended with 25k gold lead for Wings. Resolution went for an attempt of desperate divine in the end, but he could muster up only the relic. And the momentum from Wings was just way too much for DC.

Wings 2-1 DC

Game 4 was better for DC. After a one sided game 3 from wings, they were looking to close the series with a quick game. They drafted Kotl for innocence and Anti-Mage shadow in response to the Moo Timbersaw. Wings also read the lanes perfectly as they sent Axe mid to counter the W33 slark, Anti-Mage KOTL lane to keep Moo at bay. While Faith did manage to kill off W33 solo early game, and Moo was also shutdown with the double mana burning lane of KOTL and AM, DC also found some early game kills too, which kept them in the game. And Moo, who hadn’t died in that aggressive lane was beginning to look scary for Wings as he started racking up the kills. They contained the momentum from Axe and managed to shift it to their side. But they left Shadow unchecked. Shadow on AM always managed to lead the net worth charts it got to a point where he was nearly unkillable by the DC cores. And W33 dying back trying to kill an axe way out of his base sealed them the game as Wings just ended the dream for DC.

Wings 3-1 DC
