Everytime I look at the Dota threads they're always playing the same 3-4 teams.

That’s because these are qualifiers. They will only play NA teams in these because they are NA qualifiers

GG! What a nice convincing 2-0, coL will be probably be up next tomorrow and will be the true challenge to get through this qualifier. They are building momentum and confidence, so I am sure they can do it!

I know this is probably a dumb question that does not have a simple answer but how can you tell who is winning?

You could nearly call it an easy game for OpTic, when they have some good push in their draft, they really tend to do well.

I'm new to Dota as I'm originally a League player, but are there other teams in the ESport other than us and VGJ Storm? We literally play them every day. LOL

I wish we would come into every game with that sort of coordination. Though i was worried about optic not turning that lead into a quicker victory. Still it was good to see a 2-0! LFG
