hello friends!
itís Xeo and my last vlog from MLG Columbus
unfortunately our team hasnít passed to the tournamentís final as
it has lost to DK with the score 1-2 in the semi-final
I wonít tell you about the games in details as you can watch them by yourselves
they are added to the special section on our site
devoted to episodes from the tournament
I guess I should mention the2nd game
where Sasha XBOCT showed the Chinese what mean big steel Ukrainian balls
what is important, he hasnít lost his Rapier
after the game Dendiís mom wrote sms where she thanked Sasha about that
she was very happy he hadnít lost it
unfortunately Rapier was taken by BurNing in the 3rd game
he was very angry his team didnít manage to win in the previous game
the Rapier had no special meaning at that moment
though it was rather funny
approximately the same way of taking the Rapier and winning the game
the team passed to the final of MLG Columbus
in such a game DK lost to young team Speed Gaming with the score 1-2
once again, I wonít describe you the games
you can watch them on the site or in V1latís comments
I canít say he was doing that with a great interest
especially the 1st game which lasted nearly 80 minutes
where there was a hard action
I guess only at last 10 minutes there were mega crips
which were somehow stopped by Speed Gaming and
when SingSing bought the Rapier from Kunkka
which had 2 Daedalus
he was making something crazy and it seemed like they can somehow win this game
though SingSing didnít think so
oh, excuse me, iceice who had first broke into Clockwerk first and
took the Rapier away later he was killed and he bought himself back and
took the Rapier once again
it was something crazy
we had so much fun
thatís why if youíre patient enough, not even not patient at all
you should watch the 1st game and curl up with a video to the end
itís worth seeing
I hope weíll have the highlights at our youtube channel
where you watch this vlog by this time
that was the result of the tournament
I guess this result isnít so good for us
why?
ëcause we took the 3rd place and itís some kind of the record of bronze for NaíVi
which we havenít won for long
or got it when there was Dota 1 on the tournament OSLP Cup in Kazakhstan
I guess itís a some kind of anniversary
I hope that on the DreamHack we will be able to improve our results
we are leaving tomorrow for it
there will be interesting system on the DreamHack
itís rather a novelty for the last few years
there will be double elimination which means there will be losers
all the matches of winners and losers will be played by the system best of 3
though the losers final will be played by best of 5 to 3 victories
the Grand Final will be also played by best of 5 and the team
which was on the upper place wonít get 1 point
it will last for 3 days
this means that our guys will have a chance to improve themselves etc
even if they will have a trouble in the 1st tour
well, actually they do that every time after the International
as well as at the previous International
I hope everything will be fine
I guess weíll have a time to think over the information in Dota 2 and
come to some new ideas as well as try something new
during the tournament
Dendi was talking about that today
we had a little talk
I asked him about changes in Dota 2 after the new patch
it has changed very much
there are a few points of change
1. now there are more gold
it appears much quicker
that means a lot
2. many heroes have changed
it made possible to make more strategies and combinations
it makes the game more interesting
so I hope that all the teams, especially NaíVi will show
something interesting at the Dream Hack
talking about the games
yesterday after the match there was an after party as usually
for the gamers, the press and even usual fans
it was funny and cool
such things are very interesting and pleasant
as it makes all the gamers and the whole community be more friendly
it makes everyone closer and more supportive in Dota 2 community
everything was very warn in such an informal atmosphere
such tournaments are very important as they gather teams and players from all over the world
there were players from China and Asia
SingSing and Mushi from Singapore
American and European teams as well
with such players as Cyborgmatt, who is very famous
he came from Manchester, London
itís V1lat, our speaker and many other people who help to organize such tournaments and
develop the community
such informal communication makes people closer
it was pleasant to see the players talking to each other without any offense, aggression etc
there was such a fact when there were almost no people in lobby
as the bar is closed very early
lobby is working unlit 12 am
iceice, Mushi and Dendi left there with a few people
Dendi came to Mushi and asked for signature
he agreed but asked Dendiís one too
he left the lobby and came back with the mousemat
which Dendi has signed for him
Mushi signed the photo card for Dendi and wrote there
´Mushi for Dendi - the best player of the worldª
it was like a respect gift of the best middle players of the world to each other
it was really cool
Iíll post the photos on our site
as well as in our groups
I already have them in my twitter
you can subscribe it

follow me
I write many interesting things about the tournament there
there many updates there
thatís why it is worth following
what should I say more
oh, itís very important
what was the players reaction for the loss
their reaction was rather good
there were no quarrels
everyone made the conclusions
of what happened, why and what should be done
I want to believe that this loss made our team more friendly
though itís only my thoughts
as for the real conclusions
weíll see it at the next tournament DreamHack
thatís all I think
today we had a free day as weíre leaving for Sweden tomorrow
we have a flight from Columbus to Detroit
Detroit - Amsterdam
Amsterdam - Gothenburg from where weíll go to Jonkoping,
the place where the tournament is held
by train, bus or taxi
weíll decide it right there
thatís why it will be one more run
back to the east
in any case the tournament will start on November 28
weíll have time for rest and sleep
as well as getting used to the European timezone
thatís why today we have a rest
weíve been to a little cottage town with Dendi today
there are different shopping malls and cafes
we had a breakfast there with Dendiís friends and
came back to the hotel not long ago
weíll have some free time tonight
I donít know what will we do
I guess everyone will have a rest before tomorrowís trip
thatís why Iíll have a time to download this video on youtube and
it will be there earlier than the previous one
one more advantage of DreamHack is that there will be fine internet at last
the videos will appear faster and I hope there will be much more of them
at the end I want to answer your questions about who I am and what I do
