Matches Recap
HellRaisers made a critical mistake in game 1 of their series against Talon Esports at the Lima Major 2023, opting for a greedy draft that included a mid-Outworld Destroyer, carry Slark, offlane Magnus, and support Techies. Talon Esports seized on this vulnerability, exerting pressure from the start and securing kills. As the game progressed, the SEA team’s three cores pulled ahead in net worth, and HellRaisers struggled to find space on their heroes. Ultimately, Talon Esports dominated the game, racking up 56 kills en route to a 43-minute victory. Solo, in particular, had a rough outing, dying 18 times and ending the game with just Boots of Speed, Magic Wand, and Force Staff in his inventory.
In game 2, HellRaisers put together a more balanced draft, but Talon Esports still managed to gain an early advantage thanks to Mikoto’s impressive play in the midlane and strong performances from the side lanes. Despite a few strong team fight wins and the acquisition of Aegis on Yuragi, HellRaisers couldn’t stop Talon Esports from farming and obtaining critical item timings. By the late game, all five of Talon’s players had attained key items, making team fights nearly impossible for HellRaisers. Talon Esports ultimately emerged victorious, winning game 2 in 43 minutes.

With their strong showing against HellRaisers, Talon Esports looks poised to continue their run in the Lima Major 2023 and make a strong showing for Southeast Asia on the international stage.
Talon Esports has proven to be the most seasoned team from Southeast Asia at the Lima Major 2023, allowing it to keep up with the best teams in the world.
