Dota2

She looks like Thor, has a hammer like Thor and even has hair like the Asgardian god. But Dota’s 2 newest melee hero Dawnbreaker is not a solo hero like the son of Odin is portrayed in comics. No, she’s a unique blend of toughness and support, with plenty of utility on the battlefield.

Magical dragons, elves, sorcerers, Moon Goddesses, demons, and of course tragic backstories. Dota 2’s Netflix series seems to have hit all the nails on the nose within the magical genre, for both the hardcore fan and the casual viewer alike.

The internet is divided today about just what possessed Invictus Gaming’s Zhou “Emo” Yi to post that legendary “?” mark. Was he feeling emo? Was it simply a typo? Psychological warfare? Was he trolling?

It started out threatening to end before it even began. But end, it did: the ONE Esports Singapore Major concluded with a bang as dark horse Invictus Gaming (IG) pulled off a stunning comeback against favourites Evil Geniuses (EG) to claim the Major.

Fans of Evil Geniuses and Team Secret will be in contrasting moods after the penultimate day of action at the ONE Esports Singapore Major. The Team Secret fandom will be nursing their shattered hearts after a humbling 0-2 loss to China’s Invictus Gaming (IG) sent their team packing. But on the other hand, Evil Geniuses fans will feel fairly confident of their team’s chances to clinch the top prize.

It was the biggest mismatch on paper – champions-elect Team Secret against wildcards PSG.LGD. It was no secret that fans were already licking their lips at a potential showdown between Team Secret, arguably the world’s best Dota 2 team, and the reinvigorated Evil Geniuses (EG). But PSG.LGD had other ideas.

For many, firm odds were on Fnatic to wipe OB Neon out. OB Neon was the clear underdog, having just an average showing in the Major so far. Part of the reason was OB Neon having had to swap in Yang “Deth” Wu Heng after Rafael “Rappy” Palo had to drop out of the team due to Covid-19 concerns.

The first day of the ONE Esports Dota 2 Singapore Major playoffs was a bloodbath. Evil Geniuses, Team Secret, Invictus Gaming, and PSG.LGD swept the opposition aside, recording thumping victories which have moved them onto the next round of the winner’s brackets. Fnatic, Vici and Invictus still have a shot at the title, but will have to slug it out with the rest of the teams in the loser’s bracket

Massive improvements have been made to the production of the ONE ESports Singapore Major, following a rocky start to the Dota 2 tournament.

Ukrainian side Natus Vincere and North American team beastcoast have announced their withdrawal from the ONE Esports Singapore Major 2021.
