The playoffs of the seventh StarLadder season are over and
Natus Vincere has its fifth StarLadder title. The Ukrainian powerhouse was able to win the grand final against
Alliance despite an one-game-disadvantage coming from the Lower Bracket. It was a match as nailbiting as the grand final of the International 3 but this time
Na’Vi took revenge. The key to their victory was their successful shutdown of
Alliance‘s solo mid
Gustav ‘s4‘ Magnusson who’s usually the play maker on the Swedish team. After one of the best Dota 2 matches both teams were showing great sportsmanship and respect for each other at the award ceremony.
The Russian teams
Team Empire and
RoX.KIS finished the season on the 3rd and 4th place.
RoX.KIS was only part of the offline playoffs because neither
Quantic Gaming nor
Speed Gaming were able to attend.
