Match Game: Ding Lao and Chian Coronel visit Sequel Juan Luna

Earlier today, Nelson “Ding” Lao of BoyzTrek's NoMets Team and Chian Coronel of Team Blinque-Tech came over to Sequel Juan Luna (WHY KAYA? WHY? WHY? WHYYYYY?!!!) to play what was to be one of the best games I've ever witnessed, and played in my entire life. We played a game in the -apnpsp (All Pick, No Power-ups, Shuffle Players) mode with some of the best players in Sequel Juan Luna. The players and heroes line-ups were as follows:

Sentinel Side

Goblin Techies (Ding), Mirana (Aiwem), Pandaren (Ryan), Tiny (Eric), Vengeful (ABCDing)


vs


Nevermore (Elmer), Magnataur (Landz), Chian (Zeus), Warlock (Ria), Akasha (Gwing)

Scourge Side

Everybody already knows who Ding is. He's supposedly Davao's number 1, the leader of BoyzTrek's NoMets Team. Chian is the leader of the Blinque-Tech Team. Aiwem (formerly of Team RJ) and Elmer are currently ranked as two of the top players of SJL. Eric, ABCDing, and Landz were also top SJL players before they lied low due to focus on their studies (ANUH?! BAKAK!). There's Ryan who plays almost everyday in either BoyzTrek or Sequel Juan Luna. And then, there's Ria (me) who is a serious but not so good player, and Gwing who plays just for fun. Unfortunately, us two girls were shuffled into the same team.

And so the game began amidst cheers and jeers by the players and the many spectators. In the top lane, my Warlock and Chian's Zeus struggled against the stuns of Ryan's Panda and Eric's Tiny. Elmer's Nevermore battled against Ding's Goblin Techies. And in the bottom lane, Gwing's Akasha and Landz's Magnataur also struggled against the stuns of Aiwem's Mirana and ABCDing's Vengeful.

Early on, Ding set to show off his skills using his favorite hero by hunting our side's heroes and suiciding to kill us. This forced me and Chian to light up our side of the map with sentry wards. Elmer persisted to farm well and became a force to reckon with combined with Landz's dagger, reverse polarity combo. Gwing also showed promise as Akasha but wasn't able to fully show her skills due to the constant bullying of the opponents. My Warlock was in the worst shape, unable to kill and stuck with only perseverance, as we were forced to fill the map with wards. HUHU! Chian performed well. Our team was generally stronger, and was able to push constantly.

But Ding strategized well and was able to stifle our aggressive pushes by {edited as requested by baDING} rendering the Sentinel's buildings invulnerable to our aggressiveness. Ding's stellar performance, allowed their team to counter-push, backdoor, and do everything possible which gave them the advantage of having mega creeps that won for them the hard fought war.

The game was long and well-fought. Very well-fought and it lasted almost two hours!!! Sana may replay!!! Sana may rematch!!! RAWRRR!!!
