Kuala Lumpur (16 November 2016) — ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced the winners of the ROG Masters Grand Final held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 12th-13th November, 2016.
Team Secret, comprising of Korean, Malaysian, Estonian, Swedish, and German players, were crowned ROG Masters Dota 2 champions after defeating Execration from the Philippines 3-0 in their best-of-five final. The multi-national squad’s cohesiveness proved to be their key to success, even when playing with a new addition to the team. “We’re trying to figure out what is best. Right now it feels like I fit in well, and that’s easy for me to play because they are helping me to improve. They’re really good, and they know a lot. I’m enjoying myself,” said KheZu, Team Secret’s newest member.
The MongolZ, from Mongolia, faced top Counter-Stroke: Global Offensive (CS:GO) teams from Australia, the UAE and Singapore throughout the ROG Masters LAN group stages and Grand Finals. They defeated all of them without losing a single match to take home the first ever ROG Masters CS:GO trophy.
