It is finally time for the main event, as AMD Premier League’s first season has reached its final matches. The third-placer match and the Championship will both be played today.

Of course, very exciting semifinal matches paved the way for this wonderful finale. Two best-of-three matches, featuring three teams with direct invites into The International 3, battled it out for a slot on the Finals.

Rising Star went with heavy team fight heroes combined with a good ganking and pick-off potential. They went with a Magnus and a Queen of Pain on both games, as well as an Io. The first two are known for their big AoE skills and team fight control, while Io is known for its gank potential. They weren’t able to get any of the skirmish that they had hoped for though, and ended up losing to Tongfu‘s well farmed Gyrocopter on straight games. It looks like TongFu is eager to prove themselves worthy of the direct TI3 invite that has been given to them.

Gyrocopter continued to be the trend, this time helping Zenith to take the first game against Invasion.MUFC. The Malaysians had a farmed Alchemist, but all other heroes barely had anything. The Singaporeans made good use of their overall lead to take control of the game. Zenith picked the Skywrath mage for the second straight game, and they were also able to get their comfort heroes in Lone Druid and Tinker. It was MUFC’s turn to pick Gyrocopter on this game, but the massive-DPS late-game hero didn’t have the lockdown that he needed to provide the damage that he wished for, His team’s lockdown was basically revolving about their Axe’s initiation, which was countered by Zenith having two BKB, Dagger and Force Staff.

The first match will be between Invasion.MUFC and Rising Star, a best-of-3 series with the winner taking home 500 USD. Zenith and Tongfu will play on a best-of-5 series later on, with the winning earning 3000 USD and the loser receiving 1500 USD.
