Top tweets of the week: November 18-24

We will not set a limit on how many tweets we will post per week mainly because we never know how many great tweets will come out over the week. In any case, feel free to drop a retweet to @GosuGamers the next time you see something funny.

 

11. Bulba's booth babes

BuLba was clearly enjoying his time at MLG and had more than just Dota on the mind. DeMoN caught him hanging around the Flipz booth babes.

 

10. EG DDoS'ed again

Evil Geniuses had recently been plagued by DDoS attacks which has led to several forfeits and postponed matches against Fnatic and Team Liquid. When it happened once again in EG versus Alliance, Loda tweeted his feelings on the situation.

 

9. MLG swag

North American qualifier team Pretty Boy Swag found out just how hard it was playing against the best teams at MLG Columbus.

 

8. Tobi losing it

Toby placed a self-imposed media gag after losing the casting rights of StarLadder to rivals BeyondTheSummit. Let's just say he wasn't very happy with the decision.

 

7. Volvo impressed Cyborgmatt

Not only did Volvo (the real car company, not the derogative term we use for Valve!) help deliver Diretide, they also managed to convince 'The Muscles from Brussels' to star in their new ad campaign.

 

6. Sigma.Int proves everyone wrong

One of the biggest suprise packets of the weekend was the strong performance from Sigma.int,  who dominated the group stages and made it all the way to the the semi-finals. Many had predicted they wouldn't win many, if any games, but it was a great validation for Adam Apicella, MLG Columbus organizer, who copped a lot of flak for inviting Sigma.int to the tournament after Team Dignitas pulled out.

 

5. Into the mind of KuroKy and XBOCT

This KuroKy and XBOCT fan picture sums up the different thought processes of these two Na`vi players pretty well.

 

4. Loda's rude welcome to America

When Loda travels to China he is treated like a rockstar, with fans clamouring in thousands to get to an autograph or a picture with the living legend. Unfortunately, he does not get the same reception in the United States.

 

3. God Speed to victory

Speed Gaming's preparation for MLG Columbus ran into some trouble when bOne7 was denied a visa to America. Luckily, Arteezy was available to take over the mid role, while SingSing moved over to the unfamiliar offlane role. Despite the set back and a lackluster first day, Speed Gaming proved they could overcome anything that is thrown their way.

DAY 0 - Touchdown in Columbus

DAY 1 - Round robin results: 0-3

DAY 2 - Round robin result: 5-0

DAY 3 - Championship Sunday result: 2013 MLG Champions

 

2. XBOCT balls of steel

XBOCT mans up in game 2 of the BO3 semi-finals against DK at MLG Columbus to show the world what he is made of, buying a total of three Divine Rapiers to stop the Chinese juggernaut.

 

1. A-God receives permission to speak

A few months ago, Arteezy took to twitter to voice his displeasure about a game he was watching, but was quickly reprimanded by the living legend himself.
