These four heroes from Team Spirit mostly deal physical damage, with the armour stacking from Timbersaw’s third skill, Reactive Armor, providing him up 25 stacks, and every stack gives him 1.6 armour and 1.6 health point regeneration.

He can gain up to 40 armours and 40 Health Point regeneration when enemies attack him a lot within a duration of 19 seconds. The only way Team Spirit could damage him in that game was getting Spirit Vessel – reduces HP regeneration and healing by 70% or purchase a Silver Edge to break the passive skill of TImbersaw for a duration of 4 seconds.

However, these were luxury items for Team Spirit in that game, so they were unable to purchase them before Timbersaw went out of control. There was no way to kill Timbersaw with those physical damage dealer line-ups.

Forward Gaming’s most recent professional match-up was on December 8 where they suffered three losses in the group stage of the Megafon Winter Clash against Team Liquid, PSG.LGD and Team Secret. Their opponents are top 5 teams in the world, however their performance on 1 December 2018 against EG was great.

Forward Gaming is one of the best tier one teams in the world. Their formidable draft and proven line-up means they are ready to contest any tier 2 teams.
