LinkEzaa was able to dominate throughout the game, and finished with a perfect 6/0/2 record. He was also hailed as the game’s MVP thanks to his superb rotation and great plays on the Hell Knight.
Despite losing the series with a 1-2 record, the first game is a testament that off meta heroes can sometimes be viable in certain situations.
