VODs of the Week: Feb 17-23

Team 1: Na`Vi
Team 2: Team Liquid
Event: Dota 2 Champions League

The first game between Na'Vi and Liquid was quite neck and neck. At one point, it was Na'Vi who took the lead by a considerable margin, but some questionable decisions from the team overall resulted in Liquid regaining their momentum and win the game one. A 71 minute-thriller!

Team 1: Fnatic
Team 2: PowerRangers
Event: joinDota League

This was a very interesting game, showing some experimentation with picks and a slight clash of play styles. What else? We see a Vengeful Spirit as hard carry!

Team 1: Na`Vi
Team 2: Rox.Kis
Event: DC Captain's Draft Invitational

Played with -captains draft, it's bound to change things up. This particular game is filled with kills and actions, throws and counter throws.

Player 1: Patience
Player 2: Jaedong
Event: IEM Cologne

With all the talks of Protoss being unstoppable, it's always nice to watch Jaedong perform well in what used to be his worst match-up. 40 minutes of ZvP grandeur incoming!

Player 1: Polt
Player 2: StarDust
Event: IEM Cologne

This entire series was manic so we suggest you just catch the enirity of it. Watch Polt's relentless drop play meet StarDust stalwart defense and storm play.

Player 1: Jaedong
Player 2: StarDust
Event: IEM Cologne

Do you remember where we say Jaedong versus Protoss is awesome. Do you need more proof? Usually, you wouldn't but this game against StarDust on Habitation Station is just too good.

Team 1: Insidious Gaming
Team 2: Saigon Jokers
Event: GPL

It isn't always fun to watch one-sided games, there were quite a few noteworthy ones this week. This one is the shortest professional game we've seen so far since the start of the new GPL season, and it includes mid lane Lulu and QTV going off as usual. 

Team 1: Gambit Gaming
Team 2: Supa Hot Crew
Event: LCS EU

The next unexpectedly one-sided game came from Gambit Gaming boasting a near-full roster of subs and still managing to defeat the up and coming Supa Hot Crew.  Keep an eye out for Hulberto, in particular.  With Olaf play like that, he'll be starting on an LCS team soon.

Team 1: Team Solomid
Team 2: Team Coast
Event: LCS NA

This is definitely the upset of the week.  Since Bjergsen arrived in North America, no mid laner has been able to best him in lane or map pressure, but Shiphtur's Lich Bane Ahri led Coast to a decisive victory against the seemingly unstoppable Team SoloMid.
