This is not the first time that the two have teams have faced each other in a Grand Final.

The net worth lead see-sawed a number of times during the match, but Yatoro's Monkey King pick and rushing Aghanim Scepter paid dividends. PGL@pglesports75 minutes!!!!!!!!!

More than a couple of times, the soldiers were the reason a fight turned on its head. Yatoro chose to go for a Divine Rapier later in the game.
