I got Evil Geniuses to win the whole thing.

The tournament format was bad last year, glad they changed it.

I really like the meta right now too.

Wait so First Place takes home $6 million?!?!?!?!?
im not familiar with dota how many people are on a team.

Also side note. I hate how Esport teams are in all the different games. Like Evil Geniuses and Cloud Nine in Halo and Dota. I liked when teams had original names like Triggers Down, Final Boss and Believe The Hype.

I just started playing Dota 2, and man is this game tough for me! It is my first time playing a game like this, and the learning curve is huge! Im loving it so far though

Team Secret about to Pubstomp the rest. Not really going to be a contest, they are just too stacked. Want Na'Vi to pull a miracle tho. I expect at least one Dendi Pudge game.
