Game results

Game 1 - BetBoom win in 27 minutes

BetBoom executed their Spiritectomy draft strategy from the opening game - a community-coined term for their specific drafting approach that utilised Alchemist's high farm rate to outscale Liquid's mid-game timing window before their system could establish the structural advantages their Falcons series had been built around. Kiritych on Alchemist dominated the early game - his GPM acceleration giving BetBoom the net worth lead that compressed Game 1 into their fastest game of the tournament at 27 minutes. Liquid's mid-game timing push - the tactical identity that closed their Falcons series - arrived too late to contest Alchemist's scaling.

Game 2 - Team Liquid win in 39 minutes

Liquid levelled the series through Nisha's Storm Spirit - his clinical mobility turning the tide of Game 2 through the same tempo system that had defined his Falcons series performance. The 39-minute duration reflected a Liquid tactical reset that specifically addressed BetBoom's Game 1 Alchemist scaling - their coaching staff identifying and counter-executing the draft approach that had compressed Game 1 into 27 minutes.

Game 3 - BetBoom win in 44 minutes

Game 3 was the series decider. gpk on Void Spirit posted a 14/2/15 KDA and 38,300 net worth - the standout individual performance of the Semi-final. His Void Spirit's Resonant Pulse and Astral Step gave BetBoom the mid-lane map control that Nisha's Game 2 Storm Spirit had disrupted - his individual output across the 44-minute decider reflecting a player whose tournament ceiling is the most sustained of any mid-laner remaining in the PGL Wallachia Season 8 bracket. BetBoom closed the series extending their unbeaten PGL Wallachia Season 8 tournament record to 6 series wins without a series loss.

Standout performances

gpk posted a 14/2/15 KDA and 38,300 net worth on Void Spirit in Game 3 - the highest individual output of the Semi-final. His series combined output across Puck and Void Spirit reflected a player whose hero pool depth gives BetBoom the mid-lane flexibility that Liquid's preparation - built around countering a single mid-lane system - could not fully account for across 3 consecutive games.

Kiritych's Game 1 Alchemist performance - the Spiritectomy draft execution that compressed Game 1 into 27 minutes - was the tactical standout of the Semi-final. His early game domination gave BetBoom the structural framework that their Game 3 Void Spirit system ultimately closed the series with.
