So gather your stashes of tangos, be they many or be they few, and put them into motion. Once you are done the amount have surely changed (for better or for worse).

Yesterday was the last playdate of Round 3, and so far the most more known teams are still hanging in there. But some of them have had the missfortunate to face each other already. The most major ones of those can be seen in the table to the right.
Some surprises have occured, for example the rather unknown american team Final Style beating MCiTY in a clean 2-0. FluffnStuff, leader of Final Style says the following about the event and their success so far:
- "We really enjoyed this tournament so far because it has allowed us to face teams that we haven't been exposed to previously. The MCiTY games were fun, we were very excited about winning. Looking at the brackets, I think that we have a shot at winning our next 2 games."

Quite shocking, or atleast disappointing are default losses of teams like EHOME, LAN and Nirvana.cn.
But the tournament goes on. Round 4 features 64 teams, among those are DDT, MYM, Nirvana.int, Nirvana.my, TeG, Tribal.int, TheRetry, OK, DIPS, Competo, Mineski and XtC.
Some of the upcoming games are looking especially interesting, so keep an extra eye on the matches mentioned above in the Round 4 table.
To round it off, GosuGamers spoke with the supervisor of the tournament, Matthias 'Losemann' Beyer:
-"Well I am very proud to have such a tournament running and I am very proud of our partners CM Storm and GeIL for making it possible to give the DotA community a great tournament.
I am mostly satisfied with the tournament, such as having a lot of games streamed, having many teams putting a lot of effort into their preparation and also having an awesome admin team, who is reachable 24/7.
We are being very strict in our tournament about rules and we have set examples on how we are dealing with problems and inactivity. This is what I think is missing in the DotA scene. I am really looking forward to the next rounds as we have now the chance to see more great games casted by our coverage partners."
