  Only three teams remained in the StarLadder i-League StarSeries Season 2 finals at the start of the fourth day, and by the end, only one would claim the top prize. Under Armour Outlet Stores . Natus Vincere, Fnatic and Team Secret -- all three have tickets punched for The International 6, and a win at StarLadder would mean a huge boost headed into Seattle.While Team Secret secured a grand finals berth in Saturdays upper bracket final, NaVi and Fnatic had one final best-of-three to play to determine who would advance. Despite the two teams being in relatively even standing, NaVi looked dominant over Fnatic in the series. Mirana was the key in both games, used by both Danil Dendi Ishutin in the first game and Victor GeneRaL Nigrini in the second game. NaVi secured the 2-0 and a second chance at beating Secret, this time in the grand finals.The first game saw Natus Vincere struggle to find ground against an aggressive Team Secret. While NaVi found a few early kills on Johan pieliedie ?str?m, Jacky EternaLEnVy Mao and Artour Arteezy Babaev both got off the ground quickly and never let up. Team Secret took a series of kills on Nigrinis Beastmaster and never let Dmitry Ditya Ra Minenkov get his Weaver pick off the ground, eventually ending in a first game win for Secret.NaVi swung back harder in the second game off a surprisingly conservative lineup. Usually known for early aggression, Minenkovs Terrorblade signaled a shift to a late-game push. Secret attempted to adapt, putting a great deal of early pressure on NaVi and shoving all five back onto their high ground. Team Secret could never put the final nail in the coffin though, and NaVi pushed back to bring the series to an even 1-1.The third game saw more explosive Mirana play, this time on Babaev, who found key eliminations across the map. The overall lineup of Secret couldnt match Arteezy, though, and Minenkovs Ember Spirit gradually pulled NaVi ahead as the game went on, securing enough advantage to go high ground and take the series advantage, putting it to 2-1 and match point for NaVi.A draft stage advantage in the fourth game put NaVi ahead from the start, where a surprise last-pick Huskar for Minenkov threw Secret for a loop. In combination with some excellent Shadow Shaman play from Ivan artstyle Antonov, the early aggression NaVi is known for shone, completely shutting down Maos Morphling and any hopes of victory. Pushing down two barracks in short order, Team Secret tapped out in just 18 minutes, ending the series 3-1. Natus Vincere took home the StarSeries cup, some prize money and the confidence gained in its first LAN victory of 2016. Under Armour Shoe Clearance Sale .
