Virtus.pro had a very solid showing during the group stage at The International 10, finishing second in Group A with an 11-5 record and earning a top seed in the upper bracket of the event’s main stage.  During that group stage run, VP defeated Evil Geniuses, Alliance, and Team Aster, while also splitting their series with OG and showing that the young roster was more than capable of contending with players who have attended numerous TIs in the past.  Unlike the upstarts that many

Not many people expected seeding at Dota 2’s biggest tournament to come down to graphic North America on North America violence.  Heading into the final handful of games in The International 10’s group stage, OG, T1, and Evil Geniuses were all nearly tied for the final two spots left in the Group B upper bracket. After T1 swept Thunder Predator and OG split their series with Invictus Gaming, Evil Geniuses needed to 2-0 Undying to force a tiebreaker.  Game one went according to plan, but Undying was unrelenting… and undying

One day remains before the stage is set for The International 10’s main event, and the top Dota 2 teams in the world are still fighting for playoff seeding—or in some cases, their tournament lives.  While Invictus Gaming locked in the top seed for Group A with a dominant 13-1 record in just three days, Thunder Predator also became the first team eliminated from TI10 after going winless against the field of opponents.  The highlight of the day was one of the first matches, which saw rivals OG and Evil

Their backs were against the wall from day one, but after two sound defeats at the hands of Team Aster, Thunder Predator is the first team eliminated from Dota 2’s The International 10 with a 0-7 record on day three.  TP was one of South America’s best Dota 2 teams all year, but it looked like the Peruvian squad was losing steam as the 2021 Dota Pro Circuit dragged on. Well, we gave our best. Thank you everyone for supporting us even today. It's hard for our boys, they still

Evil Geniuses had a very strong showing during the 2021 Dota Pro Circuit placing second at the One Esports Singapore Major and WePlay AniMajor and qualifying for The International 10 with a global leading 1,700 DPC points. The success of EG this season largely came from integrating Abed and iceiceice into the team. With the Southeast Asian players joining the team, EG was able to implement a much more aggressive and technical style that helped the roster reach new heights. This playstyle shift had the

Evil Geniuses are through to the fifth place decider for IEM Fall North America after battling through a grueling gauntlet of tiebreaker matches between them, TeamOne, and Triumph which lasted nearly four hours — in part due to 15 minute breaks between each match — and involved 67 rounds in an MR3 format on Inferno. The win sets up a fifth place decider match on Saturday at 00:15 between EXTREMUM and Evil Geniuses for the final spot at the PGL Stockholm Major on offer to North America, with only one

The International 10 kicked off earlier today, marking the start of the biggest event in Dota 2 history. Following issues with the event ticket and other technical problems that saw matches start a full hour later than scheduled, TI10’s opening day saw 18 teams playing 20 different series across both groups. By the end of the day, only one team remained undefeated and there were several upsets that could impact the final bracket.  PSG.LGD were one of the favorites going into TI this year, and they showed why with four

Team Aster was the first team to record a positive COVID test while training in Bucharest ahead of The International 10.  All 10 members of Aster, including the players, coach, manager, and their accompanying video team tested positive last week. Valve and tournament organizer PGL did implement a workable solution to allow players to compete even while in self-quarantine, but Aster decided to play things safe.  Even though the symptoms for the entire team have been steadily improving, management made the decision to play the group stage for TI10 with
