The Void? The Abyss? Kuro and co. hint to their new team


This year's Post-TI Roster-Shuffle brought a big surprise: the legendary players from Team Liquid surrounding captain Kuro S. 'KuroKy' Takhasomi decided to leave the organisation after four years. After months of almost complete silence, they are now teasing their new team with cryptic pictures. Sunday evening, all players shared drawings of themselves staring at a black hole or solar eclipse – similar to Epic Game's marketing move for Fortnite's Season 2. While each player is glancing into space, the environment differs in each picture. Team Void, Team Eclipse, Team Black Hole, Astral, Enigma? Users already get creative when it comes to guessing the name of the new organisation, but so far there is no further information. Kuro that the most recent...

TNC Predator Chengdu Major CHAMPIONS


TNC Predator exacted the sweetest revenge on its way to winning the first Major of the 2019/20 Dota Pro Circuit Season, the MDL Chengdu Major in China. The Philippine-based squad of Kim "Gabbi" Villafuerte, Timothy "Tims" Randrip, Armel "Armel" Tabios, Australian Damien "kpii" Chok, and Korean Park "March" Tae-won had to take the longer and harder route to capture the revamped roster's second trophy, following the one from ESL One Hamburg in Germany. TNC was almost unstoppable to start the tournament, sweeping Group A in the preliminaries and losing just one playoff match to Alliance. After they took care of business against J.Storm (2-0), the Southeast Asian group had the tables turned on them by hometown team Vici Gaming in...

Liquid sends Alliance home!


Former Alliance squad (Team Liquid) dominated on their lower bracket game versus Alliance with a score of 2-0. Nikobaby and the squad didn't even get a chance to make a stand on their match-up with the former Alliance team. Game 1: Alliance  ES + Morph combo didn't shine against Faceless Void + LC near the Dire bottom bounty rune clash. ES+Morph almost takes down Void, but a perfect chrono set-up with the help of LC, takes the ES+Morph winning moment on that clash. Thus then ending the game at 54 minutes mark. Game 2: Faceless Void + Timbersaw (Liquid) was too much for a Drow + Gyro + Puck (Alliance). Alliance took their first tower push together with the squad...

EG continues to advance at upper bracket TOP 6!


MDL Chengdu Major last quarterfinal series pitted Evil Geniuses against the Dota Summit Minor Champions, Invictus Gaming, who got punished for their hyper aggressive playstyle. The battle for a top six spot in Chengdu started with an unconventional mid lane Night Stalker from iG and a good laning stage that put EG 2k gold behind in the first five minutes of the game. The early lead felt more like a trap set for themselves by iG, who lost their composure going into the first team fight and they got outplayed by the NA representative. A single misstep in the EG jungle, around the 15-minute mark, was enough to destabilize the Chinese team. Game two unfolded in a rather similar way,...
