Why Bren Esports banned Diggie in the Grand Finals
The Grand Finals of the M2 World Championship was quite the stellar affair with a back and forth BO7 series.
One of the more interesting things that happened in the drafts of BO7 Grand Finals was that Diggie never left the ban list on Bren Esport’s side. It was clearly not an inside joke but rather a strategic approach to prevent casualties. After the tournament concluded the team revealed their reason why they kept banning Diggie.
Bren Esports' coach Ducky explained this decision by stating:
“We’ve had a bad history with Diggie. Since MPL Season 6, they’ve been using the Feeding Diggie Strat. We developed PTSD against the hero. Because he was just so frustrating to play against, Burmese Ghouls actually showed a formal way to play it, and they’re really strong with it. So, it is very important for us to ban this Diggie because it seems that they really prepared this hero."
MayBe, Burmese Ghouls’ support, showed impressive Diggie gameplay in a competitive match and took down Bren Esports during the playoffs, sending them to the Lower Brackets. This goes to show how much of a headache Diggie actually is for Bren Esports.
