During the first map, Team Avice players were actively tipping Egor Demon and calling him a "322-er" [match-fixer], even though their own roster features Koma, who is actually banned by Valve for account sharing.

On the second map, Team Rostik drafted a high-tempo lineup with Luna and Largo, effortlessly destroying the Ancient in 31 minutes. For Team Avice, Koma stood out with a great performance on Kez, finishing with a 9/2/4 stat line.
The main drama unfolded on the third map: the game dragged into the late game, where Team Avice players, having no buybacks, took a bad teamfight in the mid lane. During the fight, Dota crashed, and it was impossible to load the game back to those specific timings.

After the game crashed, the admins told the captains that there was an option to restore the game to the exact moment of that crucial teamfight. Rostik agreed to play out that specific moment, but Avice stated the following: "Only a fool in my position wouldn't agree to a full rehost from minute zero." To resume from the exact crash moment, the consent of both captains was required.
As a result, a full rehost from minute zero took place with the exact same heroes. Team Rostik confidently won the third map. Egor Demon had a very strong game on Lycan, micro-controlling every single wolf. In this match, not only did Rostik's team win, but justice did too.
On September 27, Team Rostik will play against Team Daxak in the upper bracket final. Team Avice will play in the lower bracket, where their opponent will be Team Cake.
