WPC Week 5 Recap by Kupon3ss



The Turn of the Tide



The 5th week marked the convergence of a multitude of drastic reversals. Just as the teams completed their first round-robin play this week, the world-changing 6.79 patch made landfall with all the grace of a hurricane, completely changing the competitive landscape of WPC.



This week we saw a lot of change, will it continue?



Series of the Week



DK vs TongFu



The first series on the new patch pit the undefeated DK against a shaky TongFu. DK appeared to be caught completely unprepared by the new patch, making questionable picks and item choices; suffering from noticeable coordination problems as TongFu bowled over the dream team with a pair of brilliantly executed teamfight/push lineups featuring Pugna, one of the new darlings of the patch. Unable to exert their strength in laning and chaotic teamfights, DK suffered its first major defeat in WPC as a newly focused TongFu emerged as a threat.





DK, no longer immortal









LGD.int vs iG



A confident iG stood to take first place from DK with a win, as LGD.int hovered upon the edge of relegation, after a slew of mediocre performances. Yet the rematch of the last G-League finals turned out to be a chilling surprise as LGD.int played some of the best Dota 2 we've seen, featuring great coordination, movement, and the richest CM ever seen. Finally showing us a flash of the infinite potential of their squad, the 2-0 victory for LGD.int brought them into the middle of the pack and dashed iG's hopes for the seat atop the leaderboard.
