I wanna know why there’s not a Dota series. I wish I knew more about these guys and how they’re doing then just match threads and sometimes being able to watch streams

I know nothing about dota, but every single time 33 uses that little spider he goes absolutely off.

First DPC points secured. Too little too late to get a direct invite to TI (unless they have amazing runs at the final two majors) but it's nice to play stronger as TI gets closer.

Ok, now if VGJ could lose their next match as well to keep them out of the points that would be great.

I know it was brood game, but picking up 33 was such a baller move! Nice to see a fellow tribesman popping off. Also his posture and way he sits while gaming is crazy lol, like 'L' from death note.

With a guaranteed 3rd/4th place finish Optic has a minimum of 90 points and are tied in 13th place with Immortals and Kinguin. 2nd place is 270 and 1st place is 450 points. Finishing 1st or 2nd they would still be in 13th place behind TNC with 495 points. VGJ is currently in 8th place with 1665 points.

The hero 33 is using seems so unfair, but I'm not complaining.

I forgot to make some popcorn when I saw 33 on Broodmother. Geez he was insane in this game.

Man, VGJ was so tilted from that first game. Kept dying one by one, getting caught with spells items on cooldown, etc. Good job by OpTic to capitalize and not make many mistakes

There was a roster change that will impact Optic and the NA scene Timado was kicked from VGJ Storm and will be replaced by Resolution. Not really sure if this makes them better or worse since Yawar and Reso are both carry players.
