The six teams fighting for survival in the relegation leg of this tournament are all trying to claim to final two spots for the final round, joining Nirvana.int and DDT. MYM and MCiTY are the closest contenders to these two powerhouses, but one cannot write off a side such as OK, who have been performing tremendously well in their last couple of matches. All games will follow a best of three format. The five games played between OK, DTS, LAN and SGC have all been shoutcasted by TobiWan, with OK vs. DTS Game Three being his peronsal recommendation.

Picks were pretty standard, with OK opting for two strong late game carries in the form of Slardar and Morphling. DTS' lineup didn't have the late game power of their opponents, but they compensated for this by having a great deal more ganking and pushing power.
DTS took a very proactive stance on the game, with their tri-lane at bottom taking two towers in the space of four minutes. DTS made great use of their early game advantages by taking a third tower, which was the middle lane tier one tower, in the sixth minute. With this early map and gold advantage, DTS were easily able to gank their opponents, gaining an early lead in hero kills and towers.
Even though things were looking quite horrid for OK, DTS were not able to capitalise on their early dominance. The side seemed to become lost, not quite sure what to do and not applying the needed pressure to control the game. OK were allowed to regroup and due to DTS being seperated a majority of the time, were able to obliterate their opponents in each team fight, having a clear advantage in terms of AoE disable. This netted Slardar and Morphling some valuable kills, allowing them to grab their key items in quick succession. Despite loses the team fights, DTS chose not to regroup, often being in different corners of the map. This resulted in OK having a relatively easy push down middle, and DTS called "GG" at around the 30 minute mark. Drayich must be commended on some very well executed ultimates, while Synderen continues to impress with an impressive Slardar.
With a great deal more matches ahead of us, F4F2 is far from over. Their will be disappointments and surely a few unexpected surprises, but at the end of the day, there will only be one winner.
