Game 1 was a slow game as both teams aimed to accumulate maximum farm on their cores while only making occasional ganks to pick off solo heroes. The net worth situation was equal at the 30-minute mark but then eventually, as the heroes got their power spike, the teams started brawling. Abed’s decision to not pick up an early BKB proved to be fatal for him as he always got locked down by Riki’s smoke screen with a Diffusal. The team fights never really fell in place for Among Us as Motivate.Trust Gaming kept building a net worth lead to end the game in 51 minutes.

Game 2 saw Among Us putting all their eggs in inYourdreaM’s basket as they played a 4-protect-1 strat centred around Phantom Assassin. Motivate.Trust Gaming had an amazing game on all their cores while for Among Us, only PA was able to cope up with the Battlefury pick. Time looked to be running short for the side of Among Us as Motivate.Trust Gaming looked all set to end the game. inYourdreaM picked up a Divine Rapier and that looked to be the only way out for Among Us. A messy fight by both teams took place but Motivate.Trust Gaming’s heroes were too strong to be taken down as they went 2-0 up the in the series.

But again, Motivate.Trust Gaming made all the right decisions and had all the desired items to have an edge over the enemy. With absolute domination, Motivate.Trust Gaming ended the game and took an amazing 3-0 victory in the grand finals.
