This match took place a day before my biochem final exam, clashing with Euro quarter final match between Spain and Italy. Since I can afford to watch the replay of this match later, I chose to watch the Euros :3
But what's so special about this match? Of course the lineup used by XcN in this match, namely the use of Meepo! In the first glance, Mouz seems to have better heroes line up, and even then they dominate a large proportion of the early-mid game in this match. However, brilliant play by Ritter' Meepo change the tide the game. No, Meepo in this game isn't heroes killer, but he's crowd control. Dragon Knight did a fine job farming an early BKB and then Battle Fury, and by the time both DK and Meepo reach level 16, they were able to hold off Mouz intense push. The tide of this game changed somewhere late in the game when mouz tries to push mid, but Meepo were able to perma-net Mouz DPS melee heroes, Leoric and Panda, leaving DK in lvl 3 Dragon Form to easily dish massive damage with little scratch received. Visage also did a good job to cover Meepo with her Gargoyle, while Lina and SK did their best to fend off the rest of mouz (QoP, Warlock and Dazzle).

Overall this game is one of the better match in Prime Defending League, especially with the clever pick of Meepo. Well of course picking Meepo is quite situational, considering he can be easily counterpicked by heavy nuker, which explains why Meepo was picked last and when the situation is allowed (looking at Mouz heroes line up).
