After a grueling 64 minute game 3, OT put up an impressive fight in a reverse sweep against AUSKR to win it all.

OT are the current reigning champions of APAC Pro League. Not only have they won every APAC Pro League this year, but they have an impressive 7 event win streak. They faced off against AUSKR in the grand finals, with an epically long yet close game three.

Game 1: AUSKR Makes a Stand

For the majority of this match, it was looking bleak for AUSKR. The soul lead mostly swung in OT's favor, and OT kept sieging objective after objective. If AUSKR took a guardian, OT took two in response. There was one thing AUSKR had going for them, however, that would ultimately win them the game - and that was Midboss captures.

Midboss went down 4 times over the course of this 43 minute match, and AUSKR secured 3 of them. In the last 10 minutes of the game, AUSKR put their foot down against OT, flipped the soul lead by picking off Sire's Pocket and Adam's Bebop. They used that momentum to siege Midboss, and with the rejuvenators on their side pushed into OT's base. A Walker, a Shrine, and two Base Guardians. After that, they decided to take Midboss again and wiped out OT's whole roster, leading them to victory for game 1.

Game 2: OT Takes Back Control

OT decided enough was enough. While AUSKR had a small soul lead over OT for around half of this game, OT ultimately flipped it wildly in their favor at around the 19 minute mark, when they decided to take Midboss. They got some picks on AUSKR, took two Walkers, and had minimal losses after that. For the next 13 minutes, AUSKR will only manage to frag OT 6 more times and secure one Walker.

It can be hard to find footing again when you're down 3 of your Walkers, as you're constantly answering minions at your door step. OT took advantage of being able to roam the map, farm up, and used that extra power to fell AUSKR's base, winning them game 2.

Game 3: A War Of Attrition

This match was the most important of the series. Whoever won this one, won not only bragging rights, but also the prize money. This game was extremely close, swinging in favor of both teams multiple times. If one team got Midboss, the other team got the next one. While AUSKR had a couple of impressive Midboss steals, it didn't deter OT.

It all came to a head around the 56 minute mark when a massive team fight broke out around Midboss. AUSKR was looking ahead, out fragging OT even with their 3 Rejuvenator buffs. AUSKR picked off everyone but bubsdoge's Warden , who rushed into AUSKR's base to distract them. Unfortunately, he went down after a quick answer from Bischu's Abrams and BIRDRING's Venator.

With all members of OT now down, they barely respawned in time to pick off a few members of AUSKR who were currently killing their Patron. This bought them enough time for Sire on Mirage bubsdoge, who had enough fire power to make the rest of AUSKR to retreat back through The Doorman's door, out of OT's base.

OT had to answer the minions on the doorstep, and AUSKR had to do a reset. Another team fight broke out near urn, where OT locked in and picked off members of AUSKR. This allowed OT to secure Midboss and push into AUSKR's base, wiping them out in the process of securing a well fought victory.
