Nachricht von "Dota2.com Blog" If you would have been forced to make a bet today after the first round, you would have laid your money on ViCi Gaming. They dominated the first game. After, people were wondering if Newbee even would be able to squeak out a single victory. Then Newbee did what they did all tournament. They didn’t listen to the noise. The team that finished a lowly 7-8 in the group stage did what they do best – play great Dota. They came roaring back and won three straight. The fi…

Nachricht von "Dota2.com Blog" Today we play the Grand Finals to decide who will win the Aegis and be crowned Champions. It is ViCi Gaming vs Newbee. At the end of Phase 2 (group stage) there could not have been two teams further apart. VG had dominated the entire set of round robin matches ending on top of the standings with a 12-3 record. Newbee on the other hand, squeaked in with a 7-8 record that forced a three way TieBreaker. ViCi’s record gave them an instant trip to the Main Event. Newbe…

Nachricht von "Dota2.com Blog" For a day with this much drama and excitement, it’s crazy that it ends with just one team moving on and the other three teams eliminated. We started the day with a match between ViCi Gaming and Cloud 9 that was a filled with team wipes being traded back and forth before Cloud 9 came out on top and forced a game three. The comeback ended for Cloud 9 with a failed early Roshan that they never recovered from. ViCi moved on. Last night LGD came battling back from behi…

Nachricht von "Dota2.com Blog" Today we start with the matches that began yesterday. First up is ViCi vs Cloud 9. ViCi is already up one game in this best of three series. The loser of this match ends their bid for the Aegis. The winner faces either DK or LGD who also continue their match as well. Last night, we saw LGD make an amazing comeback to snatch a victory away from DK. Can they carry that momentum through the day or will a rested DK be able to turn it around? The loser goes home. The w…

Nachricht von "Dota2.com Blog" Saturday night ended in laughter with the All-Star match. The crowd favorite for The Cheese included a new Hero – Techies. It was a silly, funny blood bath with even some occasional great playing. If you missed it, watch the VOD. But while you watch it, one thing will sink in. This is a new International. 7 of the 10 All-Star players have already been eliminated. Today we saw both Na’Vi and iG eliminated and finishing The International in 7/8th place. We will not …

Nachricht von "Dota2.com Blog" Yesterday the games decided that NewBee would be in the Grand Finals. It also moved ViCi, DK, and EG into the lower brackets – but it didn’t send them home. Today we will be saying goodbye to teams as the games aren’t simple matches, but Elimination Matches. We start the day with Cloud 9 vs Na’Vi. The winner there moves on to play ViCi. The next match is iG vs LGD. The winner moves on to face DK. The loser of those matches goes home. Their International is over. T…

Nachricht von "Dota2.com Blog" The day started with top seeded ViCi Gaming taking on NewBee. NewBee had been fighting hard since last Saturday when they had to play a TieBreaker to end the day. They won that match. The next day they started with an elimination match against Titan. They won that match. Then they played Na’Vi. They won that match. Next they played iG for the Upper Bracket spot. They won that match. This morning they played the top seeded ViCi. They won that match. That sent ViCi …

Nachricht von "Dota2.com Blog" <img src="http://blog.dota2.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/DSC_1804.jpg" width=538 border=0> Monday started where Saturday ended for NewBee, an elimination match. Saturday they won two straight to move on. Monday morning, they had a little rougher time against Titan. NewBee took the first but Titan took the second game forcing the third. NewBee was one game away from elimination, but in the end, they were too much for Titan. Titan had a good run, but all Tournamen…

Nachricht von "Dota2.com Blog" <img src="http://blog.dota2.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/DK_Grouphug_after_beating_C9.jpg" width=538 border=0> Sunday started with a best of three elimination match between Liquid and LGD. Liquid had risen up from the wild card round to end with an 8-7 record. They had outplayed everyone’s expectations. LGD had battled back from a slow first day where they started 1-4 to end with a 7-8. It was a good record, but not enough – they had to play a three way tie brea…

Nachricht von "Dota2.com Blog" Today every game mattered and they were all interconnected. A win by Evil Geniuses not only raised them to join ViCi Gaming as the two teams going straight to Key Arena, but it also eliminated last year’s champions Alliance. This means, for the first time at The International, we will not see the returning Champions vying for the Aegis. We also saw LGD’s charge which started Thursday leave them with a 7-8 record. Their final wins eliminated teams and caused a thre…

We know six teams that are guaranteed to move on to the next round: Vici Gaming, Evil Geniuses,Team DK, Invictus Gaming, Cloud 9, and Liquid. What about everyone else? We have a short day scheduled Saturday on purpose. While we have only three rounds offici…

Nachricht von "Dota2.com Blog" <img src="http://blog.dota2.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/5H3A7566.jpg" width=538 border=0> We all need to keep watching. Nothing has been decided. The top team after today is ViCi with a 7-1 record. If they lose the rest of their games, they end up with a 7-8 record. Arrow is at the bottom with a record of 2-8. If they win the rest of their games, they end up with a 7-8 record as well. Is a 7-8 record enough? Remember, you don’t have to be the top team. While th…

In this phase, each team will play one game against every other team. No one game will decide anyone’s tournament, no single loss will sink their hopes, and no single win will guarantee their success. Instead it will be the cumulative effect of all 15 games they play across four days. What record will a team need to be…

Nachricht von "Dota2.com Blog" There has been a lot of discussion over the last 24 hours regarding our requirement that Fnatic plays with Era at The International, and how it differs from Fear’s substitution in Evil Geniuses. In cases like this, we think being fully transparent is the right approach. Hopefully this sheds some light onto the situation for everyone. If you are not familiar with the situation we are referring to, please read Fnatic’s update first. There have been a number of situa…
