Our team played the starting phase of the game very confidently, earning a comfortable advantage by 22 minutes in 8k gold. However, we couldn't let our guard down, because the opponent had such a strong hero as Morphling.

But gradually the advantage of our team became more and more. At 30 minutes mark after a successful fight ua Natus Vincere demolished ru TeamSpirit's mid lane and thus increased the advantage to 15k gold.

At 36 minutes, the game came to an end. After losing Morphling, the opponent admitted their loss.
