Dota 2 losers bracket 30

We start with a best of three match between iG and DK. Both of these teams were sent down to the Loser Bracket by Na’Vi and now one of them is going to get their chance at redemption. The winner of this match heads to the Loser Bracket finals.

The second match of the day is a best of three match between the undefeated machine of LGD and the always unpredictable Na’Vi. This is the first meeting between these two teams at the International. LGD has won every match of this event 2-0 and while Na’Vi struggled during the Preliminaries, they have come back at the main event to win all their matches 2-1. The winner of this match heads on to the Championship, the loser goes to the Loser Bracket finals.

The Loser Bracket final is our third match of the day. It is another best of three with one team coming off the momentum of a win and the other a rough loss. The winner of this match goes on to the Championship match.

The Championship is our only best of five match and will decide who wins the one million dollar prize.

The TLDR version – Four teams are still in it – iG, LGD, DK, and Na’Vi – anyone of them can still win it all. Watch it here, participate here.

Day 2 Ends

Day 2 continued where Day 3 left off; four single elimination matches. EG, Darer, coL, and CLG were all eliminated by mid afternoon. LGD continued where they left off as well and remain undefeated. Zenith gave them a run for their money, but it was still LGD in two straight.

Then… well then it was the Na’Vi show. iG took the first game but then it all changed. Na’Vi showed why you can never count them out. Their loose style and aggressive action excited the crowd and then this play launched Benaroya Hall to its feet. The end result was Na’Vi 2-1 – punctuated with a bit of dancing by Dendi.

The late games included EHOME beating Orange and then playing iG. After their defeat by Na’Vi everyone wondered if iG had anything left in them. Instead of collapsing, they showed why they sailed through the prelims with a 13 and 1 record by coming back with a decisive victory to insure they would play Sunday.

The night ended with Zenith and DK looking for that last spot in Sunday’s lineup. DK took command of the late game and never looked back. They will continue on to Sunday where everyone can still win it all!

See you in the morning.

Day Two Starts

What a day for Dota 2 yesterday! We had over 400,000 simultaneous viewers online and thousands of visitors at Benaroya Hall watching some amazing matches. The best of 3 matches went the distance for all but one match – that match was LGD winning in two straight games and sending Orange down to the Loser Bracket

LGD continues their dominance and not to jinx them but can they continue undefeated? They go up against Zenith Saturday. While Zenith struggled and lost their first game against coL, they came back strong to take the final two games. Their match will be the fifth game of the day.

Last year’s winner, Na’Vi, pulled out a win against DK after losing the second game in the match. All three were great games and you can watch all the replays of Friday’s games on the schedule page.

Saturday starts as Friday ends; four straight single elimination matches from the Loser Bracket. The intensity of these games are heightened because each team knows – one mistake and they are gone.
