INC.xLo - DoTA Team for Malaysian Squad to WCGAC'09

Last weekend, the DoTA spot for Team Malaysia to WCG Asian Championship’09 has finally sorted out through a qualifier held at Cybertime, OUG, KL. While the number of the teams that signed up might be small, it is rather a high caliber event as a number of local DoTA scene superstars came to bid for a spot in our national team.

As expected, the top 4 contender to represent our country - Kingsurf.my, INC.Excello, 8mski.tbun and Cybertime, went through through group stages easily. In the finals - using a league points system, Cybertime went down as the last team out of the final 4 after losing all their matches against other teams. As for 8mski, after losing the 2nd match to Excello, their manager decided to forfeit the rest of their matches, cited fatigue as the reason behind the decision.

With that forfeit, the advantage was with the crowd favorite - Kingsurf, especially when they didn’t have to go through any more matches, while their nearest rival - Excello still have one match to go before their league schedule is completed. As these two teams has fought earlier with a draw results together with equal number of wins, one single final match was held to determine the winner of this qualifier.

Despite being highly exhausted from all the continuous matches, Excello still managed to deny Kingsurf 2nd continuous appearance at WCGAC, by beating them fair and square in last finals match. Check out the summary by Gamosphere.com for a more detailed view on the event.

Congrats to INC.Excello for such a fine performance and we are looking forward to see them in action at Singapore this coming weekend!
