Dota 2 - The International. Must See Game- What Dota is all about

Searched and didnt see a topic here.
Prize Pool this year increased to $20,000,000.00
Tounrey is in full swing and has a lot of really great games. I came here to point anyone who wants to see what dota is about to last night's winner bracket semifinal that pitted North American Evil Geniuses team against China's EHOME.
Game is avail to watch for free by either twitch vods or if you download the free dotat client you can watch most all games in the client, with twitch commentary overlay and you can also pause, slow down or watch player perspectives.
For those familiar with objectives for moba's
Quick Synopsis -
---Evil Geniuses were behind all game, had a terrible laning phase and at on point were 20k gold behind Ehome.
--Ehome made a final push to destroy enemy base destorying all towers from all three lanes and all barracks causing Mega Creeps to be deployed.
--EG have just their ancient left but hold serve and manage to push out their lanes. Then they get a quick pick off on one of Ehome players.
--Only 1 of 10 players have buyback available (mechanic that allows you to buy back in to game if you are dead but you have enough money )
--Eg storms down midlane for a GG all in push, wipes EHOME while defending their own base from mega creeps by using some amazing skill shots and disables and wins the game, which hands EHOME their first lost in the main event.
To put game in perspective, only 33 times has a team won a game after having mega creeps, and it has NEVER happened at The International. This was also a LIVE event and the US crowd and China crowd were cheering quite loud back and forth...
Just a really all around thrilling game, if you have ever wanted to see the best of what Dota COULD be, check out the game..It is a 72min affair, so skip to about 60-65 min on the game clock to see the finale.

Sounds intense. Ive considered watching for some time now, may give it a try. The whole 20 million prize pool is insane though, no other esport can compete with that

I don't want eSports, but when I do, it's because of EG.
