Dendi 5 man coil vs. xGame @ StarLadder Season 10

Having bought the DotaTV ticket for StarLadder X I have a vested interest in this event. I purchased the ticket for $9.99 and I am not disappointed! The games have been great so far though some of that may be attributed to how well Na'Vi is playing. As it stands now the top four teams are Na'Vi, TeamTinker, Virtus.Pro, and Alliance. Cloud9 had a shakey start but seam to have settled down. Keep in mind most teams have only played one or two games and Fnatic and Empire have yet to play. I have a feeling one of those teams will be knocking back VP. For a full recap check out GosuGamers.



Na'Vi have been playing very well with the new lineup. Each game they seem to be ironing out the misplays and getting a feel for each other's play sense. I really like the aggressive style that they have been playing, and they are finally drafting heroes that match their play style. I am concerned that there may be a lack of leadership but that may come with more play time together. And of course, Dendi is still playing at peek performance as this video shows!

On the NA side of the house things are quiet as there have been only a handful of games. Today there are three games including Na'Vi.US and EG. I should be on DotaTV for those games so look for Kruppe!

How do you feel StarLadder X is going so far?

D2CL starts soon!

Dota 2 Champions League starts today with two really good matches, Na'Vi v Alliance (el clasico!) and Team Tinker v Empire. This should be a good day to watch these matches as we get to see the new lineups in action against each other.

This starts the European division which will be followed with American and Chinese regional qualifiers. You can watch the games through DotaTV for $9.99 including a courier. Kind of disappointed as I just bought Starladder X ticket and can't justify buying two at the same time. But I will watch the games on twitch!

Top Four Predictions in no order:

TeamTinker, Na'Vi, Cloud9, Alliance

As long as I get to watch these games I will post an update on my thoughts. Anyone else going to watch? What is your prediction for the top four?

One of the things they I plan on doing here in the near future at Dota Dad is to discuss why I created this site in the first place. Until then just know that I love playing competitive games but at a casual pace. Which is why the following preview video really excites me!

Check out the game on Greenlight.
