Lucifer runs over a weak Sky in the match for third place in the NicegameTV Allstars League. Lucifer gets 500 bucks, while Sky gets a thing or two to think about.
The first game on Snow Drop totally belonged to Lucifer. Lucifer's death knight and ghouls put an early pressure on Sky's archmage and footmen. The Undead quickly gained the advantage, creep-jacking Sky in the '12 o clock creep position, forcing Sky's archmage to use his scroll of town portal. Lucifer was then placed in a good position after taking out a set of Sky's footmen and militia, and went to the '9 o clock shop. After his shopping spree he finds the archmage just outside, without a scroll this time, so Lucifer can easily hunt him down and coil the archmage to death.
From there on, it was more or less one way street to the victory. Lucifer gets a Naga Sea Witch and a few crypt fiends, while Sky tries to grab the upper right expansion. But with Lucifer with his heroes both level two, and the Death Knight soon to be level three, Lucifer marches in and stops the expansion attempt.
Lucifer nearly kills the archmage again during that strike, but runs away only to be scooped up by Lucifer's death knight. Second hero kill for Lucifer, and the first game is over.
Melting Valley, Sky goes paladin first
The second game Lucifer continued on his build he had in the first game, death knight and ghouls in the start. Sky on the other hand went for the paladin as hero, accompanied by a handful of footmen. The game resembled the first one as Lucifer performed well-executed creep jacks and did a well-timed attack when Sky tried to put down his expansion. Lucifer also hires forest trolls to add to his army, getting healing and some extra manpower.
Lucifer did a good job pushing Sky back, not letting him gain any advantage, keeping the paladin on level three. And when Lucifer reached level three on his death knight, he went on the offensive on his way to Sky's base. But Lucifer needed not go forward, as his prey went to the base of Lucifer. Desperately trying to harass and get some acolyte kills, Sky gets a few, but ends up losing his paladin in the process. A badly timed staff teleportation marks the end of game two.
Game three, Sky brings forth the knights
On the third map, Turtle Rock, Sky goes for a tech build, back with the archmage as his first hero. A few footmen and his archmage creeps around the map, while he quickly techs up to keep to later construct a few flying machines. Lucifer, who does not seem to change the earlier winning concept, and continues with his lots of ghouls and death knights, later accompanied by a few crypt fiends.
Sky tries a different approach, that instead of mass footmen instead goes for an early mountain king, and continues to tech up, to tier 3. Lucifer notices this of course, and techs up on his own and gets a lich about a minute after Sky's mountain king pops. Lucifer continues to roam the map creeping the turtles, Sky doing the same but manages to get creep jacked yet again. Lucifer and also gets a dark ranger as third hero.
Advancing a bit and taking a couple of fights with Sky that ended mostly in Lucifer's favour, Sky then has his first set of knights out. Trying to break Lucifer's reign across the map he levels up his heroes as best he can, but still falls short to Lucifer's mixed Undead pack, accompanied by obsidian statues, crypt fiends, and his three heroes. Sky tries to push back with newly created flying machines, but is forced to once again type out after Lucifer's offensive.
