MidwayFinals was a exclamation point on an event that Lowkey W controlled from day 1 to day 5.
Lowkey W won the R1 Tourney Grand Final on May 10 in Russia, sweeping Abrahams 3-0 in the best-of-five title match to claim the $10,000 Deadlock event. The final closed out a dominant tournament run for Lowkey W, who finished the event unbeaten at 7-0 in series and 15-1 in maps after controlling the Grand Final through team fight pressure, hero flexibility, and standout carry performances across all three games.
Prize Pool
1st - Lowkey W - $5,000
2nd - Abrahams - $3,000
3rd - Leviathan - $1,500
4th - Fearless Furies - $500
The sweep was built around a deep hero pool and a clear teamwide edge. Across the three maps, Lowkey W outkilled Abrahams 80-45, and every win had a different face. Zerggy was the headline performer, especially on 
Warden, while vraic's 
Apollo and 
Lash games, hoot's 
Silver, and Lystic's 
Bebop all gave Lowkey W reliable impact in the fights that decided the series.
Game 1: Lowkey W open with a clean team win
Lowkey W took the first map 253k to 205k in souls, winning in 35:14 behind a balanced draft that gave Abrahams very little room to breathe. Zerggy's Warden was flawless at 7/0/8 with 46k souls and 19k objective damage, setting the tone for a series where Warden would continue to be one of Lowkey W's most important heroes.
cosmetical's 
Mirage had the highest soul total on the server at 50k while adding 7/1/10, and hoot's Silver delivered one of the strongest all-around lines of the map at 9/1/18 with 40k player damage, 8.7k objective damage, and 17k healing. Lystic's Bebop also mattered, going 6/3/18 with 21k healing. Abrahams had damage from zxcbobi's 
Wraith and together's 
Shiv, but they could not match Lowkey W's efficiency or sustain.
Game 2: Zerggy's Vyper pushes Lowkey W ahead
Abrahams made the second map more competitive, but Lowkey W still closed it 215k to 151k in souls at 31:06. Zerggy moved to 
Vyper and posted the strongest individual line of the map, finishing 10/2/15 with 38k souls, 43k player damage, 23k objective damage, and 22k healing. That is the kind of stat line that shows up everywhere at once, and Abrahams did not have a clean answer for it.
vraic's Apollo was also excellent at 6/2/25 with 45k player damage, while hoot's 
Viscous added 25 assists and 13k healing. Lowkey W again won through layered teamfights rather than one isolated carry performance. Abrahams got respectable output from zxcbobi's 
Venator at 6/7/4 and sanya_sniper's 
Celeste at 5/9/7, but the team fell behind across the board as the map went longer.
Game 3: Zerggy Takes MVP as Lowkey W Finish the Sweep
The final map was the clearest statement. Lowkey W won 297k to 232k in souls at 39:16, and Zerggy's Warden earned MVP with a massive 19/1/14 line. He finished with 61k souls, 69k player damage, and 34k objective damage, leading the server in the categories that mattered most. If Game 1 showed Warden's value as a stabilizing pick, Game 3 showed how hard the hero can take over when the player piloting it gets rolling.
The supporting cast was strong again. Hoot's 
The Doorman went 7/6/23 with 56k player damage and 18k healing, vraic's Apollo added 8/2/20, and cosmetical's Mirage posted 58k souls with a 6/4/18 line. Abrahams had moments from sanya_sniper's Lash at 9/6/14, empty dreams's 
Pocket with 53k souls, and Tas's Bebop with 17k healing, but Lowkey W had too many strong lanes of pressure to contain.
Lowkey W Leave No Doubt
The Grand Final showed why Lowkey W were the class of the tournament. Zerggy's Warden and Vyper were the biggest carry stories, but the sweep was bigger than one player. Apollo stayed valuable through vraic, Mirage gave Lowkey W strong economy and fight presence, Silver gave them damage and healing in Game 1, and Bebop added another layer of sustain and control.
Lowkey W end the R1 Tourney as deserved champions. They entered bracket play as the group stage favorite, beat Abrahams in the upper bracket, then swept them again in the Grand Final. Abrahams had strong pieces and several heroes with real impact, but Lowkey W had the better answers across the full series, and by the end of Game 3, there was no argument left.
