Recap and Highlights

Chu took an initial lead in creep score only to be harassed back by tabako early in the game. From this point, tabako took over the lead and steadily built a creep score advantage with an advanced stance in the lane. Both players battled for creeps and harassed but neither made any serious attempts on a hero kill until late in 15 minute match. At 14:30, chu took advantage of tabako’s advanced position on chu’s ramp and drove for a kill as tabako retreated. Tabako barely escaped chu’s barrage of attacks on his Voodoo Puppet to survive and win the match. The kill would have brought chu within 5 points of tabako’s match score (based on 1 point for each creep kill or deny, 15 points for a hero kill and 10 for a tower), and likely won him the match. In the end, tabako wins over chu by a combined creep score of 103-85.
Below: the final encounter between tabako (Blue) and chu (Pink) at 14:32.
