MYM Prime Nations Playoffs grids have been published just a couple days ago, but the matches are being played during this weekend. In the first match of the playoffs Ukraine managed to defeat Greece, becoming the first team to secure a spot in round 2.
Bans: Bristleback, Spectre, Sandking, Terrorblade, Silencer, Zeus.
MYM Prime Nations WB Round 1
Greece0:1Ukraine
Ts1kN0RR (Netherdrake, top) ZlobOgr (Warlock, top)
wasano. (Queen of Pain, top) Dendi (Tormented Soul, top)
G0ld3n (Nerubian Assasin, mid) DkPhobos (Tinker, mid)
Kover (Rogue Knight, bot) Travka (Priestess of the Moon, bot)
Namkor (Slayer, bot) Goblak (Prophet, jungle)
The first game was a big surprise for Ukraine. As Travka said after the game "I thought Greece wasn't a hard opponent but i was wrong ._.". G0ld3n soloes DkPhobos mid, destroying him early game due to Mana Brun spam and his deadly spell combo. Kover and Namkor gain lane control bot, almost grabbing a First Blood at level one. The things turn out to be really bad for Ukraine when they reach mid game, but through good defending versus Greece pushes the survive to late game, which they win due to stronger picks.
Bans: Bristleback, Spectre, Lina, Silencer, Nerubian, Tinker.
MYM Prime Nations WB Round 1
Ukraine1:1Greece
DkPhobos (Queen of Pain, top) BoteR (Sand King, top)
ZlobOgr (Lord of Olympia, top) Namkor (Warlock, top)
Travka (Netherdrake, mid) Ts1kN0RR (Shadowfiend, mid)
Dendi (Rogue Knight, bot) G0ld3n (Priestess of the Moon, bot)
Goblak (Tormented Soul, bot) wasano. (Pandaren Brewmaster, bot)
Unfortunately, this one happens to be a save and reload after 28 minutes of game. The game is really enjoyable, close and full of action, especially on bottom lane, where two strong early game lineups face each other.
Bans: Queen of Pain, Silencer, Bristleback, Tinker, Sandking, Warlock.
MYM Prime Nations WB Round 1
Greece1:2Ukraine
Ts1kN0RR (Priestess of the Moon, top) Goblak (Shadow Priest, top)
Kover (Venomancer, Roaming) DkPhobos (Spectre, top)
G0ld3n (Faceless Void, mid) Travka (Shadowfiend, mid)
Namkor (Slayer, bot) ZlobOgr (Nerubian Assasin, bot)
wasano. (Lord of Olympia, bot) Dendi (Tormented Soul, bot)
Again Greece is executing their ganking lineup to it's limits, Namkor going a 9-3 Lina with only 1100hp is sure a great thing to watch, but the most beautiful part of the game is how Ukraine again manages to slow down the pushing. Travka playing a flawless Shadowfiend, and Goblak doing his best to help DkPhobos get farmed really fast.
The tournament is surely not over for Greece, as they can still make some surprise in Loser Bracket, but they are sure a team to be afraid of.
