Evil Geniuses emerge from the tournament with a clean slate. On their way to victory, they managed to defeat several strong opponents: Neither
mTw nor
DTS could stop them on Saturday. In the semi-finals on Sunday, EG ended
It's Gosu's journey who defeated Western Wolves prior to the match. The other half of the bracket was dominated by
Next. Not only did they beat
Darer, but they defeated the champion of The Defense,
Na'Vi. Their opponent before the final was tournament host,
Team Dignitas. The Romanians, having beaten
Mousesports beforehand were upstaged by the boys from Kazakhstan and will have to play It's Gosu for third place. Dignitas emerged victorious.Finally, Next and EG met in the only best-of-three match of the competition. The Geniuses however did not need all three games to secure the win. They brought their contenders down twice in a row. After some decent but unstable results, this was the first remarkable success for the European and American legends in Dota 2.
