Game results

Game 1 - MOUZ win in 32 minutes

MOUZ took Game 1 in 32 minutes through their established carry system - their clean opening game execution reflecting the same tactical quality that had produced their Nemiga sweep and YeS reverse sweep. The 32-minute close was MOUZ's fastest game of the group stage - their system operating at its highest individual efficiency in the opening game.

Game 2 - PlayTime win in 45 minutes

Game 2 was the series' defining game. PlayTime's high-sustain late-game draft - specifically built around a carry with 30,000 net worth - outlasted MOUZ's defensive system across the 45-minute extended game. The decisive moment came at the 40-minute mark during a Roshan teamfight where MOUZ committed multiple buybacks in an attempt to prevent PlayTime from securing the objective and pushing their base. PlayTime's high-sustain draft composition absorbed MOUZ's buyback-fuelled resistance before their carry's 30,000 net worth gave them the individual damage ceiling that MOUZ's depleted economic resources could not contest in the subsequent push.

Game 3 - PlayTime win in 37 minutes

PlayTime closed the series in Game 3 - their high-sustain draft approach reapplied with the specific adjustments that MOUZ's Game 2 Roshan buyback pattern had revealed as their primary defensive tool. The 37-minute close reflected a PlayTime team whose coaching staff had identified MOUZ's buyback commitment timing and drafted specifically to outlast that commitment across the game state where their 30,000 net worth carry ceiling becomes decisive.

Standout performances

PlayTime's carry posted a 30,000 net worth in Game 2 - the highest individual net worth of the series and the standout individual carry performance of PlayTime's reverse sweep. Their high-sustain draft system gave their carry the protected farming windows that MOUZ's multiple Roshan buybacks could not deny across the 45-minute extended engagement.
