Arena of Valor Valiant Online Community Tournament - EurasiaSuperfly wins Kaisaya’s AOV Online Tournament – Daily Round-Up

EurasiaSuperfly defeats BrenEsports, 4-2, in their Best-of-7 Series during Kaisaya’s AOV Valiant Online Community Tournament yesterday in a thrilling contest which saw two teams battle for the grand prize.

Coming in as the underdogs, EurasiaSuperfly had the odds stacked against them, as BrenEsports has been riding an 11 game win streak throughout the tournament and have yet to suffer a defeat. Meanwhile, EurasiaSuperfly managed to claw their way back to the Finals by besting Nova PH Ravenous in the final round of the Lower Bracket.

On the other hand, BrenEsports went into the finals as the clear favorites, boasting significant experience from playing in the finals of season 1 and 2 of the Valor Cup. Not to mention, all of their matches showcased their cohesion and synergy when imposing their will against their opponents. Their 11-0 showing also granted them a 1-0 advantage to begin the Best-of-7 Series.

Game 1

Both teams started Game 1 with their safe picks – EurasiaSuperfly chose to run an Arum, Lumburr, Preyta, Airi, and Fennik, while BrenEsports picked Liliana, Lu Bu, Alice, Violet, and Maloch. These team compositions have seen action in the earlier rounds, and were used to feel each opponents’ strategies and tendencies.

EurasiaSuperfly was playing conservatively, only engaging BrenEsports when contesting for objectives. ESF Maverick secured the first Abyssal Dragon while ESF.Don got first blood over Kurokii at 2:20 of action for the early game lead.

Securing Abyssal Dragon was EurasiaSuperfly’s strategy, and they were able to pull it off masterfully against BrenEsports, capping off with a 4-0 team score just before 5 minutes. This helped balloon their lead as the match was nearing the middle stages.

By the 9 minute mark, EurasiaSuperfly was running roughshod, having a 11-2 lead and secured Dark Slayer at the behest of BrenEsports. The constant pressure from EurasiaSuperfly was enough to pummel BrenEsports, 15-3, and giving them their first loss of the tournament.

Winner: EurasiaSuperfly
MVP: ESF.Don (Preyta, 6-1-4 KDA; 11.6 MVP)

Game 2

BrenEsports looked to bounce back following a shocking loss to EurasiaSuperfly in Game 1. They picked a more bruiser lineup in Zuka, Teemee, Liliana, Skud, and Violet. On the other hand, EurasiaSuperfly picked a single-target burst heavy team in Max, Lumburr, Raz, Airi, and Lindis.

Arcadia and Kurokii picked off ESF.Zelle in the early going to start the match for BrenEsports. Undeterred, EurasiaSuperfly maintained their composure, as their opponent is slowly establishing their will in the Abyssal Dragon pit.

BrenEsports shown more aggressiveness in the mid game, opting to engage and bully EurasiaSuperfly out of their objectives. This led to BrenEsports secure the first Abyssal Dragon and two first level towers at just under 7 minutes. However, EurasiaSuperfly did not engage BrenEsports until it was the right moment – such as a clash at 7:06, where ESF.Maverick earned a double kill and a 6-5 team score lead.

From here on, the team score went back and forth between the two teams. But eventually, BrenEsports shown their mettle, and began to ramp up kills for their team, leading to a 12-6 score before 10 minutes of action. Following this, BrenEsports began to dissect EurasiaSuperfly, starting with the lanes. They seized the Top Lane, destroying the tower, then rotating to the middle lane. This left EurasiaSuperfly scrambling, as they did their best to defend their base.

After managing to survive BrenEsports’ onslaught, EurasiaSuperfly was preparing to contest the Dark Slayer. However, BrenEsports took it down easily and were making a beeline to the core. But a lucky stop saw EurasiaSuperfly strike BrenEsports, leaving Leathergoods to scurry back to his side of the map.

Trailing 20-11, EurasiaSuperfly used one clash to pick off Leathergoods, which they did. They then followed up by dismantling the rest of BrenEsports to cut the deficit to 21-14. EurasiaSuperfly’s momentum continued as the game reached the 19 minute mark, culminating in a 21-20 score, with BrenEsports at the defensive.

But BrenEsports capitalized on their numbers after EurasiaSuperfly’s Buck and Zelle fell trying to destroy the middle and top towers. This led to BrenEsports blitzing the remaining members of the opposing team to win Game 2, 28-23.

Winner: BrenEsports

MVP: Leathergoods (Liliana, 6-1-10 KDA; 12.7 MVP)

Game 3

Despite being down 2-1, EurasiaSuperfly showed their perseverance as they emerged victorious in the crucial Game 3 of the finals. Winning this game is important for EurasiaSuperfly as they will be down 3-1 if they lose this crucial match, that is the reason why EurasiaSuperfly used some of the best heroes that they’ve utilized in the tournament with the exception of inzaiplays’ Lumburr which is banned.

Slaying the first Abyssal Dragon was one of the most critical moments for EurasiaSuperfly’s victory, as they were able to gain a 2k+ gold advantage, which led to them to killing Krixi and Airi in the clash that happened in the 4-minute team clash.

Despite not being able to use Lumburr, inzaiplays’ Thane is considered a formidable hero as well for him. His initiates before clashes are one the key points as to why EurasiaSuperfly wins these fights, as he was able to apply crowd control to enemies using his first and second abilities.

Leathergoods’ Krixi was struggling during the match due to EurasiaSuperfly focusing on killing the said hero first before tackling on defeating the other heroes. BrenEsports’ mastery of Krixi proved to be a problem for other teams during the tournament, which is why EurasiaSuperfly created a game plan to stop this powerful hero.

ESF’s strategy against Krixi was too make her stay as far away from her teammates as possible, making use of Thane’s first ability to draw Krixi closer to the enemies, then Zuka or Lindis will finish the job for the team. With Krixi gone at the start of most team clashes, BrenEsports was unable to do anything against the onslaught of ESF as they were quite undermanned. EurasiaSuperfly won Game 3 with a final score of 15-3.

Winner: EurasiaSuperfly
MVP: ESF.Don (Liliana, 5-0-8 KDA; 13.8 MVP)

Game 4

A perfect team composition was the key to EurasiaSuperfly’s victory in this exciting Game 4 of the finals.  With the combination of Liliana, Zuka, and Fennik, EurasiaSuperfly was able to deal massive damage against BrenEsports. Lumburr also proved his effectiveness for the team as he was able to gather 13 assists in the entire match.

The same strategy against Leathergoods was applied to this match, with Fennik, Zuka, or Liliana using almost all of their abilities against Tulen during team clashes. With Tulen gone in team clashes, BrenEsports didn’t have enough firepower to defeat EurasiaSuperfly despite having Violet as their carry. Antihero’s Lu Bu was able to get 7 kills and 3 assists, but that was not enough to stop the rampage of EurasiaSuperfly in the middle and end stages of the game.

Despite gaining an advantage by killing the first Abyssal Dragon, BrenEsports couldn’t continue their farming strategy as EurasiaSuperfly read through their plans and guarded the farming monsters in their territory more closely after the slaying of the first Abyssal Dragon.

During this fight, it seems that EurasiaSuperfly has already fully “downloaded” BrenEsports, seemingly finding way to stop any of BrenEsports advances towards victory by devising a counterattack against them. EurasiaSuperfly wins this game with a final score of 20-14.

Winner: EurasiaSuperfly

MVP: ESF.Don (Liliana, 3-2-12 KDA; 11.4 MVP)

Game 5

It seemed like BrenEsports got this game under control at the start of the game up to the 11-minute mark, but EurasiaSuperfly pulled off a miraculous victory to win first place in Kaisaya’s Arena of Valor tournament.

ESF.Maverick’s Lindis was the savior for EurasiaSuperfly as he was able to fend off the enemies pushing through their core at 11:00. With the help of Maloch, they were able to perform a feat that no one in the tournament has done before: defending the core with two heroes against a complete team. That moment proved the power of Lindis as her damage was so devastating that even the tankiest heroes of BrenEsports couldn’t stand a chance against her strong abilities.

This forced BrenEsports to stay defensive after their failed push through ESF’s core. With EurasiaSuperfly gaining momentum, they were able to get the powerful buff from the Dark Slayer, which ultimately led to them destroying the towers of BrenEsports that they couldn’t even touch during the early to middle stages of the game.

With EurasiaSuperfly’s great teamwork, they were able to win most of the team clashes after the 11-minute mark. The commentators couldn’t even believe what was happening during the end game, as BrenEsports really had a huge advantage in the game before the glorious MVP moment of ESF.Maverick and ESF.Zelle, but EurasiaSuperfly prevailed in the end after a long-winding battle of team clashes and tower defenses.

EurasiaSuperfly emerged as the champions of Kaisaya’s AoV Valiant Online Community Tournament in this final game with a score of 27-25.

Winner: EurasiaSuperfly

MVP: ESF.Maverick (Liliana, 11-6-12 KDA; 10.7 MVP) and ESF.Zelle (Maloch, 7-4-14 KDA; 10.7 MVP)
