Sparking Arrow Gaming (SAG) has replicated a hilarious strategy from an amateur Dota 2 league. In game 2 of their series against Team Aster in the 2021 China DPC Season 2: Upper Division, SAG smoked four of their heroes and rushed to the enemy safe lane tier 1 tower. As the horn blew at the 0-minute mark, they started hitting it and eventually took it down in 25 seconds. Ironically, this bizarre strategy did not help SAG take any sorts of advantage in the game as Aster outplayed them to force a 13 minute GG call. SAG lost the series 2-0 and extended their losing streak in the tournament.
