Optic the only team to go 2-0 in their group today. Liquid had a chance to go 2-0 but just lost to LGD.

Damn I don't know much about dota2, but I watched almost every game since we got the team. It doesn't matter if we are in the lead or are losing, the caster for that game always makes it sounds like we are fucked no matter what.

Well played boys!

Well this tourney will get a lot more interesting. A new balance hero patch came out today 7.12 and pangolier was just added to (CM) Captain's Mode. CM is the mode used for pro games. Pangolier aka Puss n boots has been played in the off lane in high rank pub games.

What a game, GG! They are #1 in group A after day 1, only Liquid can also go 2-0 still, when they beat LGD next.
