ESWC2010 first game day.
The first games of the ESWC2010 Grand final begin today . As you probably know among the many disciplines present and DotA, and it allocated quite an impressive prize Fund of $ 24,500. For such money, participants from all over the world came to fight!
Among them, the winners of the Russian qualifiers-the team DTS / Chatrix gathered under their banners the best representatives of Russia and Ukraine.
If you follow the news, you probably know that the draw has already passed and all teams know their opponents. And according to the schedule of the tournament, only the first group stage games will be held today on July 1.
IceFrog is recruiting additional beta testers.
The Creator of Dota Allstar (in the form in which we know this game now), known as IceFrog, announced an additional set of beta testers in his team.
About a set of new assistants frog announced on the pages of his personal blog. Apparently, additional people were needed to check the next version of the map just before the release and release.
The draw for the teams ESWC 2010.
The organizers of ESWC 2010 held a draw of players and teams participating in the Grand final.
It should be noted that the representatives of Russia team DTS / Chatrix, sufficiently lucky in the draw and got a relatively good group. The opponents of the Russian-Ukrainian team will be Nirvana.int, Eyes On You, Universal Soldiers. Those who follow the DotA scene probably understand that of all three opponents really make a threat to our team can only Nirvana.int, led by Fear and Demon. In addition, this team just before ESWC strengthened Latvian Puppey and is definitely one of the favorites of the tournament.
However, the group is quite light, due to the relative weakness of the other two teams. In General and a whole, under a certain share of luck, DTS must exits with first seats in group.
From other groups it is possible to allocate the fourth group in which the strongest representatives of China and Malaysia, and also rather strong Romanians from TeG gathered. In this group, it is likely to be a tense struggle. Although it may well be that EHOME just won’t make it to the tournament.
So, groups ESWC 2010: to Read fully.
EHOME may also not get on ESWC.
More sad news is coming from Asia. There are certain chances that the best Chinese team EHOME will not be able to participate in the division of the prize pool at the ESWC 2010 Grand final. The guys had some problems with visas and it may well turn out that they will not have time to solve them before the tournament.
This is all the more sad that ESWC 2010 will not be able to visit the strongest Asian teams and it is already difficult to talk about the fact that this will be a real tournament of the strongest from around the world.
Let me remind you that just recently the winners of the Malaysian qualifiers — the MUFC team-announced that they would not go to France . Their problems are related to finances. However in their case the ESWC Grand final will get some sort of equivalent replacement in the form of Nirvana.my .

The DDT command is now called LOST.
Most recently, the former DDT left the American company Blight.Gaming, which turned out to be quite questionable. Here we wrote about it.
Well, now from the camp of the team came new news-Ducky Dream Team has a new sponsor.
Composition of LGD.YS.
When it became known that the organizers of ESWC 2010 will invite LGD.YS as the winners of the previous draw of the tournament (let me remind you that the last ESWC was held already in 2008) , this did not cause any complaints.
However, since those ancient times, a lot of time has passed and it was not quite clear in what composition the “current” world Champions in DotA will perform.
Only now was the veil of secrecy lifted. We present to your attention the composition of LGD.YS at ESWC 2010:
Benedict Lim hyhy Han Yong team captain Toh xy Wai Hong Roystan Chee roy Jin Sheng Daryl Koh iceiceice Pei Xiang Joshua Tan ToFu Jun Liang.
As you can see the composition has significantly increased by acquiring the notorious iceiceice. Now, given the selection of players of the Singapore team, it makes sense to put it in another favorite.

ESL Major Series VI play-off second round.
After a rather boring first round, the second round of ESL Major Series season VI brought unexpected results. Team DTS / Chatrix, the undoubted favorite of the tournament, could not break the resistance of little-known DiXi and leave the tournament without reaching the prize places.
The only explanation for this result can be the preparation of the team for ESWC and the reluctance to reveal new effective tactics. And can guys already simply seem thousands of dollars ESWC and them several don’t care on measly 400 the Euro EMS VI.
In any case, look at the results of the second round of play off EMS VI:
Competo > cG|DPP diXi > DTS AzN > Tribal.int eMg MUFC tried to find sponsors, but it did not succeed by the right time.
Then the team offered to transfer the quota to the second place, namely the team Nirvana.my. Sponsors Nirvana in personified by Loveen’a and companies GIGA agreed send its team in France. Thus, at the ESWC 2010 Grand final instead of MUFC we will see the team Nirvana.GIGA.my .
However, not all Nirvana players were ready for such an unexpected turn of events. Two representatives of the team were personal Affairs, because of which they can not go on a trip. In this regard, the team will make two substitutions.
