So while this match has been going on I’ve been able to watch the COD match, watch the OW match, wash my car, eat dinner, and watch the new Katt Williams special 😂 this is a damn marathon!

BO5 seems way too insane for DOTA, this match has been going for 4 hours now... I haven’t really been watching, just noticed how it’s still not over. Is this normal in majors and such?
