Virtus.pro loses to FlyToMoon and leaves EPICENTER XL
Today was not our day.
The match began with a kill in VP's favor. The early game favored FTM more. FlyToMoon have claimed the first Roshan after winning a massive teamfight. Virtus.pro have managed to repel the attack on their Highground, however, losing top-lane barracks in the process. The second Roshan was also claimed by FTM. VP were forced to turtle inside their base, but were forced to surrender after losing a crucial teamfight on the 42-minute mark.
The second game was started with both teams being neck and neck. FTM ended up out-edging Virtus.pro in a couple of fights, but the tense battle around the Aegis ended in VP's favor. Both teams continued the intensive skirmishes. The second Roshan was slain by FlyToMoon. Virtus.pro fought off the first push by their opponents by sending all FTM's heroes respawning. However, the exhausting defensive playstyle could not create enough opening for VP to comeback. After losing a series of teamfights, VP conceded.
