The Philippine team Blacklist International managed to win the match against Invictus Gaming at Bali Major 2023, losing almost 50k gold and fighting against rivals with Aegis.
At the 67th minute of the game, the Chinese team iG entered the opponent's base in full force and with Aegis. However, the Blacklist players, being without one teammate, decided to trade bases. This was the decisive moment that brought victory to the Philippine team.
It is noteworthy that this was the biggest comeback at the LAN tournament.
Ben «Noxville» Steenhuisen:
Blacklist make the biggest LAN comeback (in terms of networth) in Source 2 (since ~Sep 2015) but likely ever.
They were behind by ~48990 networth (incidentally, right as the game ended).
#2 is Liquid > Vici (Epicenter '19) ~42.6k
#3 is Nigma > RNG (Bukovel Minor '20) ~41.5k
If you include all games of Source 2 (including online) it's:
#1 of 2023
#4 overall (~84.7k is the overall record where Liquid came back against Chicken Fighters in the TI2021 EU Regional Qualifiers)
Thanks to the fact that Blacklist International also won the second map in the series against Invictus Gaming, they got a chance in Tiebreaker with the Shopify Rebellion for reaching the Bali Major 2023 playoffs.
Bali Major 2023 is taking place at Ayana Estate, Bali, from June 29 to July 9. 18 best teams, based on the results of the Dota Pro Circuit Tour 3, are participating in the tournament. The Dota 2 Major prize pool is $500,000 and 3500 DPC points.
