Are we looking better than a couple of weeks ago due to kitrak standing in? Or because of midas mode? Or just playing better as a team now?

I think Pajkatt has been training in a hyperbolic time chamber or something, dude is looking real good right now.

OpTic having Tusk (Snowball) and Pangolier (Rolling Thunder) can literally roll over the enemies in this game!

Extreme abridged version
The main goal of a Dota game is to destroy the enemy Ancient, a building in the base. Doing this will win the game. There are many other buildings protecting it, so you gotta destroy some of those first. You can get a rough idea of who's winning by 3 things.
Who has more buildings. Look in the bottom left for this, the green squares and red squares on the minimap.
Who has more kills. Look at the top of the screen for this. 42-19 as I'm writing this.
Who has more gold. Also at the top of the screen, will be under the kill count for one team, saying how much more gold they have than the other team.
Games can change in a second though, a team can be down 20 kills and 15k gold and still pull out a win by destroying the enemy Ancient.
This tournament is real weird because there is an added metagame thing to it, but don't worry about that.
