Continuing on, we fought with Nightmare for our next match. First draft nets us QoP, Viper, LoA, Zeus and Chen, against Medusa, Warlock, Veno, and two more heroes that forgot. I think they had THD and Sandking or something but I forgot.

Mostly the reason I forgot is because the third match was played in only one day and was kind of so funny that I forgot most of what happened in the second match. Will cover that in one post, but NOT TODAY!

Early game is quite bad, with Musica's Viper actually doing rather badly early game (with a chen support too!). Even bottom lane, with LoA and QoP up against Veno and Medusa, isn't exactly doing that well, with them being able to keep us at bay, at least for a while.

Things start to change around level 5 to 6 though. Wandering Chen nets a lot of kills, along with high level shield and the imba irritatingness that is LoA + QoP. Viper actually farms stuff. LuX's Zeus at mid starts to WIN the Warlock.

Musica is mostly farming around the map and not being involved in battles. The next time I see him involved, he has a Reaver and a Relic on him, but the game is pretty much over by then. A lot of catching leaves us very well farmed and having a rather huge level advantage. Even with rather bad early game, we suffer extremely few deaths while netting a huge amount of kills later. With Tofu getting a Skadi, we push fast and get the mid set of Raxes down and a win comes soon.

Cool moment of the game comes when LuX is ganked by a lot of shit, and having a rather low hp build. Looking as if the Zeus would die at any moment, ice heals with Chen's ultimate, and then runs in to heal again with a Meka, as the Zeus is still persued by the Venomancer and taking all that damage from Shadow Strike and Poison Nova. Still being persued, the Venomancer launches a final projectile to finish the Zeus off, but suddenly a LoA teleports in, and shields the Zeus just before the deadly projectile hits, and coils for good measure as well.

It was a rather close save.
