He had his Vanguard by 5-minute mark, followed with Phase Boots by 7-minute mark and the most important item &#8211; Blink Dagger before 13-minute mark.<\/p>\n<p>However, their mid laner Outworld Destroyer in that game was heavily harassed by Drow Ranger, Drow Ranger had a 2 level gap advantage higher than Outworld Destroyer.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Axe ganked and tried to create space for their cores, Drow Ranger out-farmed in that game and had a golds per minute up to 633 by the end of the game.<\/p>\n<p>In their game against Winning Gaming, they drafted Tidehunter and Anti-Mage which were a great draft because Tidehunter is a hero that very tanky and enemies have to commit a lot of time and skills in order to kill him.<\/p>\n\n<!-- Table view: sport-bp -->\n<style>\/* info (hed, dek,

Anti-Mage in that game.<\/p>\n<p>IG.V on the other side was doing quite bad on the same day against Winning Gaming, they picked the strongest combo in this meta of the patch- Phantom Assassin and
