The Lima Major has finally come to an end. On Grand Final, Gaimin Gladiator success to becoming the champion after an epic duel with Team Liquid.
The first game of the draft looked very normal and cautious. Both seemed to agree to play "normally" without any element of surprise. Despite this, both were still playing quite aggressively by picking Hoodwink for Liquid and Primal Beast for Gaimin Gladiator.
The game was quite balanced until Gaimin finally managed to steal a momentum that allowed them to move up to Team Liquid's high ground. Finally, Gaimin Gladiator won the first match. The score was 1-0 for the time being.
Playing with a limp due to Samuel "Boxi" Svahn's sudden health issue, Team Liquid had to rack their brains to win their last few matches at Lima Major. In the second game, Gaimin Gladiator's level seemed to be far from Team Liquid, even though Team Liquid was one of the strongest contestants at Lima Major.
In just 21 minutes, Gaimin Gladiator managed to solidify a score of 27-6 and without thinking, Team Liquid finally tapped out by typing "GG" in the all-chat. The score was 2-0 in favor of Team Liquid.
The third game was the last game for Team Liquid to defend its chance to become the champion at Lima Major. Team Liquid was sure to play very carefully, while Gaimin Gladiator seemed to play quite loose by picking some unique picks such as offlane Witch Doctor and support Io.
Gaimin Gladiator's "YouTube combo" was surprisingly successful and created a surprise for Team Liquid who played very carefully. Despite playing solidly, Team Liquid was forced to lose with a score of 3-0.
Thus Gaimin Gladiator is entitled to take home $200,000 or around Rp3,000,0000,000, and get DPC points of 400. Team Liquid itself will take home $100,000 or around Rp1,000,000,000 and 350 DPC points.
