Six Points not enough for Nirvana.cn!

The chinese powerhouse packs its bags, finishing in 3rd place of Shanghais IEM Groupstages.

After hours of DotA, containing 6 games played in total, the squads from
LGD.sGty and Deity will advance to the Playoffs. The gap between them and Nirvana.cn however was not a big one. By taking a look at the results and standings, apart from 4th place finisher Bupt, all teams have 6 points next to their name.

With the three teams getting caught in a three way tie, the Organinsing Committe decided to count the number of direct kills (kills from each game against Bupt excluded) and take them as a reference.

The results from the relevant Groupstage matchups are:

LGD.sGty 27 - 34 Nirvana.cn
LGD.sGty 33 - 19 Deity
Nirvana.cn 21 - 41 Deity

According to that, both LGD and Deity got 60 while Nirvana.cn only finishes in third with 55 kills.

With such a thrilling outcome of Day 1, more action yet to follow tomorrow. Stick with GosuGamers for the Gosubets, replays and updates from the events.

Madmortigan calls it quits by

Farewell Mark



Well known and much loved shoutcaster, Madmortigan, has called it quits.

Revered for his enthralling and captivating shoutcasts, Madmortigan has done a service to the DotA community by exposing and marketing professional DotA like no other. Offer accompanied by infamous figures such as Synderen and hit0mi, Madmortigan has succeeded in producing some of the most entertaining VODs the DotA world has ever seen.

His other commitments lie in the growth and prosperity of the North American DotA tournament, SECS. Unfortunately, due to lack of time and other personal reasons, Madmortigan has called for an end to his shoutcasting. This is a sad day for all DotA fans, as Mark's witty humour and irreplaceable phrases such as "Ass Milk" will not be forgotten.

GosuGamers.net would like to wish Mark luck in all his future endeavors and that he returns to the DotA scene as soon as possible!

Lobby/Pregame

- "Add Buddy" requests will no longer work on players in "/dnd" mode. Players inviting them will receive a message indicating they are in /dnd mode.
