The headline stat

Zero

Not “zero towers lost by the 20-minute mark.” Zero, full stop. Radiant played all 42 minutes of match 8820103476 without a single Dire hero so much as denting a tower, a barracks, or the ancient. Dire, meanwhile, lost every structure they had. This wasn’t a comeback story or a nail-biter — it was a clean sweep from first blood to fort.

0:00–5:16

First blood sets the tone

Five minutes of quiet laning ended when Elder Titan caught Crystal Maiden alone at 5:16, with Pudge backing him up on the assist. It’s a small thing on its own — one kill, one death — but Crystal Maiden would go on to die eighteen more times before the game ended, and this was the first domino.

15:29–17:17

The first crack

Radiant’s first tower kill came at 15:29 (bot), unremarkable on its own. What mattered was what happened ninety seconds later: top and mid tier-ones fell within a single minute of each other at 17:16 and 17:17 — not a slow lane push but a team moving from objective to objective. Dire had no answer and, as it turned out, never really found one.

29:27–33:03

The second wave

After a relatively quiet mid-game, Radiant returned to finish tier twos in one clean sweep of their own: top, mid, and bot tier-two towers all fell inside two minutes, 29:27 to 31:06. Mid’s tier three went with them by 33:03. Dire’s map presence was effectively gone with ten minutes still on the clock.

MVP

Elder Titan’s game

geiclub’s Elder Titan is the throughline of this entire match: first blood, the game’s top kill count, and the Roshan kill that put the result beyond doubt.

The final line reads 22/7/19 with 67% teamfight participation — the highest of any player in the game — plus 4,333 tower damage and the solo Roshan kill at 36:41, four minutes before the fort came down. Every major swing in this match seems to have Elder Titan standing in the middle of it.

Kills by Radiant player — the top four all sit within striking distance of each other. This wasn’t a one-man carry job, it was a full team performance.

The quiet carry

Templar Assassin never had to try hard

gotthejuice mode’s Templar Assassin put up the least dramatic scoreline on Radiant — 11/2/9 — and the numbers underneath explain why: highest GPM on the team at 559, only two deaths in 42 minutes, and 16,087 tower damage, more than four times anyone else’s total. The lowest teamfight participation on Radiant (33%) isn’t a weakness here; it’s a farming and split-pushing pattern working exactly as intended while the rest of the team held the fights.

The collapse

Dire’s night

Crystal Maiden’s 19 deaths is the single worst number in the match on either side — more than four times her kill count, in a game that didn’t even reach the 45-minute mark. Witch Doctor wasn’t far behind at 2/15/12, with the lowest hero damage output of anyone in the game (8,604). Between them, Dire’s supports died 34 times combined. Axe and Slark, nominally the heroes meant to convert that space into damage, finished with 9 and 3 kills respectively — neither ever got the game moving in the other direction.
