The second groupstage of joinDOTA's The Defense tournament is drawing to a close. Here is how things stand.

The top four teams from each group will advance with the top two heading to the Winner's Bracket while third and fourth placed teams will be placed into the Loser's Bracket.
Ukrainian team Na`Vi and Euro-American team EG both finished with a win-loss ratio of 4-1 but neither team wanted to play the tiebreaker game. Thus Na`Vi were given first spot in Group 2 via a cointoss decision.
| Playoffs | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Fnatic / MOUZ | vs | WW | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Dignitas | vs | PANZER | ||||||||||||||||||||||
There is one final game to be played between mous and Fnatic to decide who will take the fourth and final qualification spot in Group 2. This means that DD will play EG while Na`Vi face Absolute Legends in the Winner's Bracket whereas WW will face either Fnatic or MOUZ, with Dignitas playing the Germans from PANZER in the loser's bracket.
All playoff matches are Best Of 3 matches and will be stream by both TobiWanKenobi and GosuGamers Casters so viewers can look forward to exciting matches to come.

| EG ftw! |
| mouz not mous |

| get themm all DeeDee |
| IT IS CALLED MOUZ, not mous :D |
| ez 4 aL ;) |
| easy r*** for navi but with that shit uswest al may have a chance (200-300 ping) |
| Go Na'Vi rape aL |
| EG should be the Group leader, because they won Head-to-head against Navi... doin Cointoss is kinda a joke for me... |
| Dignitas vs Panzer.Srsly? AGAIN? |
| Go Na'Vi rape aL,this is ez for you! |
| Na'Vi!! Go FF match with aL!! I KNOW YOU DON'T WANNA PLAY WITH LAG!! :) |
| Navi .. |
| #12: AL dont want to play with lag either.. Both teams have the same ping. It's just the fairest scenario for all. |
| fairest ? al is already used to it(high ping) LODA:\"Asia (including N9) should be excluded from tours and we shouldnt waste time on these useless hosts and games.\" so true |
| Agree, don't know why all Euro communities are catering for one team, making all other teams play with lag. aL should just stick with Asia and go to Lans. @ godz how is it fairest? you are 1 team euro has 16+ teams each tourney, all of them have to play with high ping against you. Pretty sure if a survey was run, they would like to exclude you from their tourneys. And that would be right. |
| godzz just defending his team, what else can he say??? anyhow, i believe that on Lan Na'Vi would easily win aL, however with high pings its pretty even |
| @16 The Defense is an invite only tournament, so the people you should be talking to about how fair something is the organizers. |
| I'm talking about Euro and US tourneys in general. Those 2 play lagless on useast/euro. Why is everyone catering one team when i saw several members from other top teams complain? Whenever people play aL they don't even want to play. If aL is invited, then it should be either us.east or euro host, and if they want to play, then play with lag but don't make all other teams suffer because they live an aus. |
| how do you download tournament replays? |
| #19 +1 |
| 19+2 |
| Like always,NAVI show your power |
