LGD Gaming Comes Out as MDL 2017 Champion After Defeating Teammate LGD.Forever Young

A unique thing happened in the 2017 Mars Dota 2 League tournament where LGD and LFY teams who were still 1 team could meet in the Grand Final after they had previously met in the upper bracket final first.

In the round In the upper bracket final, the LGD.ForeverYoung team was able to beat their senior, namely LGD Gaming, with a score of 2-1 and forced them to meet the Newbee team in the Losers Final. With the motivation to win at home, the LGD team was able to beat the Newbee team with a score of 2-1 and meet LFY again for the revenge party.

The match in the Grand Final was quite tough where the game ran up to 5 matches, where this rarely happened in the top party. Perhaps this is an illustration of how enthusiastic the two teams are to see how far they can go, considering that the most prestigious event The International 7 will soon take place. Moreover, LGD as a senior team also did not want to lose face by losing to their junior team.

In the end, the LGD team was able to come out as champion with a final score of 3-2. This is the LGD team’s first win at the Lan event in the last 2 years. Even though they lost, the LFY team has also illustrated that the Chinese team is still a team to be reckoned with after the defending champion The International 6, namely Wings Gaming, had to disband so that the defending champion could not participate in the tournament.

Will the LGD and LFY teams be able to play well at The International 7?
