Not at all a surprise considering their performance since lineup additions of Goblak and Silent, dd.Dota is now a combatant in Dreamhack Summer 2013. Of the 16 participants, they were graciously handed the last of nine invite slots - the 10th slot going to the Techlabs winner PowerRangers, and the last six slots up for grabs in qualifiers. The prize pool is even higher than last year with 300 000 SEK in total, over 45000 US dollars. Do not forget; three of the players who won Dreamhack Summer last year are on DD.Dota now - the French players Funzii, Sockshka, and 7ckngMad, who represented Mortal Team Work at the time.
If you have not had a chance to see DD in action, do not let their - seemingly MS-Paint drawn - team logo fool you. DD paved the way in the TI3 international qualifiers and, although losing to Mouz 1:3 in the TI3 qualifiers, are now sitting solid with a ticket to Seattle. They're lined up to play the eastern qualifiers wild card team for an official pass to TI3.

You can also find DD charging the way in Starladder (invited) where they started strong by defeating RoX.KIS, putting them 1-0. Their path to victory in Starladder, however, is riddled with their TI3 captors Mouz (2-0) and the momentus Na’Vi (3-0).
