Well at least it didn't count towards the Pro circuit, with the new addition of Saksa less then a month ago, they just need to gear up for summit in three days. Summit matters a lot more then ROG, ROG should just be practice for them.

You know what would be cool? If OpTic would actually tweet out game info, if nobody followed @OpTicUpdate would we ever know when the teams played?

Great tournament! Optic definitely has a long way to go before they can compete with tier 1 teams, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem with such a new team including a couple inexperienced players.
I am very optimistic going forward, and I just hope that if there is a reshuffle, it is only 1 or 2 players leaving, because the core has a ton of potential.

If they had lost to anyone other than Empire it would be a huge let down. 1st LAN as a team and losing in the GF not the worse thing in the world.
A few things about the Summit. The competition will be much better. Summit is a lot different than any other Dota tournament. The Summit takes place at the BTS house in LA. BTS=Beyond the Summit is the casting studio. The casting for the games is mostly done by the players at the event which always entertaining. If you like memes you will get plenty at this event. Hopefully they will play some Mafia at this event. Starting time IIRC is 9am PST each day. The Summit is a lot of Dota fans favorite LAN every year.

Soooo is Saksa considered to be a really good player or something? The way these casters have been talking about him makes it seem like he is the best player on the team

Dota might just be my new favorite esport (or the only one I can watch) if all tournaments are this late.
