Alliance silence beastcoast, South America entirely eliminated from The International 10

Broadcasting that you want to play a team because you think they might be an easier matchup for you is a risky maneuver that can either psych out or fire up your opponent. Beastcoast fell victim to the latter after selecting to play Alliance over Team Aster in the best-of-one round of The International 10’s lower bracket today.  Right from the start, Alliance came out firing, getting an early pick on K1’s Sven well before he became a threat and then rolled over beastcoast for a solid 25 minutes, surviving

Team Secret stomp OG, send 2-time champs to lower bracket at The International 10

Team Secret are well on their way to making their deepest run at The International yet after defeating the two-time defending TI champions OG 2-0 at The International 10 today.  This was the first time the two European Dota 2 juggernauts had ever clashed on a TI stage and Secret already seem to be in top form, sweeping OG in fairly convincing fashion.  Game one was close, with OG nearly pulling away in one of their classic mid to late-game pushes. But Secret were ready when it mattered most. From

Vici Gaming, Virtus.pro, and the potential experience gap at The International 10

This article is sponsored by DJ Esports. 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

Here’s the schedule for The International 10

From the group stage onto the main stage, Dota 2’s top teams have finished their first trial. They will clash live at the Arena Națională in Bucharest to decide who will lift the Aegis of Champions and be crowned the champions of The International 10.

Invictus Gaming lead the way heading into the final day of The International 10’s group stage

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

Thunder Predator is the first team eliminated from The International 10

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

Chinese teams continue to dominate on day 2 of The International 10

Day two of The International 10 didn’t suffer from early technical issues, letting players, talent, and fans get right into the Dota 2 action.  The Chinese teams that finished day one on top of the standings continued to dominate, with both Vici Gaming and Invictus Gaming leading their respective groups at 4-1-0. PSG.LGD also held onto a top-two spot in Group B, splitting a tight series with Team Secret and then sweeping Fnatic.  OG is the only non-Chinese team with a top-four record, even though they started the day losing

The biggest Dota 2 event of the year is underway, with many of the top players in the world competing to raise the Aegis of Champions at The International 10 from Oct. 7 to 17.  Just like with previous TIs, teams started by being split into two large groups and competing for positions in the main event bracket and a shot at $40 million. And, with such big stakes on the line, more than 1.13 million fans tuned in to watch.  Throughout day one, TI10 saw an average viewership of

PSG.LGD is the only undefeated team after first day of The International 10

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

Here are the players to watch at The International 2021

Dota 2 has had a chaotic 2021 season with remnants of the previous year carrying over while many teams host completely different rosters that have changed throughout the Dota Pro Circuit. Throughout that period, we only had two real chances to see players compete at an international level when the top teams from each region clashed at the OneEsports Singapore Major and WePlay AniMajor.  Now, heading into The International 10, 18 of the best teams in the world will battle it out from Oct. 7 to 17 for their share
