DAC SEA Qualifiers Day 3: The Philippine Journey
In the third day of the Dota 2 Asian Championship SEA Qualifiers, Mineski had one of the hardest moments thus far in the tournament as they faced two of China’s powerhouses.
The first match for the day was against Big God, which included veterans like Xu “BurNIng” Zhilei and Zhang “Xiao8” Ning. Consistent and solid plays from the Chinese “gods” secured the series for them, 2 to nil.
Later on, the Filipino squad faced CDEC Gaming. This time around, strong performances from Lu “Maybe” Yao and Tong “Mikasa” Junjie ensured that Mineski-Dota won’t have any wins or draws for the day.

The Filipino team dropped to the 11th place in the overall standings with a 2-2-4 record.
Tomorrow, the Pinoy team will face Cant Say Wips (CSW) at 7:30 p.m. (GMT+8, Philippine Standard Time), followed by China’s IMG at 10 p.m.
CSW has been at the bottom of the rankings thus far, while IMG is currently sitting at 10 points along with Tongfu.WZ and Big God.
It is important to note that all ten of the Chinese teams are standing high in the group stages so far, with Mineski-Dota having the highest position among other Southeast Asian (SEA) teams.
