​Evil Geniuses are moving on to the Winners Bracket Final after beating EHOME 2-0. Game 1 of this series will go down as one of the greatest games of DotA 2 ever played, as Evil Geniuses came back from mega creeps for their first time in the history at any Valve event ever.

3. Ludwig "zai" Wahlberg

​Since the most recent Evil Geniuses roster shuffle, which saw zai return to Evil Geniuses, he showed everyone why Evil Geniuses took the risk to play in open qualifiers just to add him to their team. zai's 4 position plays so far this tournament have been amazing. In both games against EHOME, there were targeted 1st phase bans again zai. They tried to limit his impact, but unfortunately for EHOME, it does not seem to matter what hero he plays. zai not only doubled the last hit record on Shadow Demon during this patch in game 1, his Dagon purchase changed the course of the game and allowed Evil Geniuses to secure their comeback. As of right now, zai is the most important player on Evil Geniuses, and he gets a lot of credit for Evil Geniuses' resurgence.

2. Saahil "UNiVeRsE" Arora

Whatever you do Wings, do not allow UNiVeRsE​ to play Faceless Void. UNiVeRsE again showed why he is known as the best Faceless Void player in the game with his performances in both games against EHOME. He was hitting every one of his Chronospheres, and he brought utility to his team like no other player can. UNiVeRsE even picked up an Aghs Scepter in game 2 just to allow his heavy hitting ranged cores a shorter cooldown time to destroy all of the heroes he trapped in his Chronospheres. We will see if teams have learned from EHOME's mistake.
