As expected, the Dota 2 event has seen its fair share of completely onesided matches, in which the favourites managed to work out a lead over the attending amateur teams.
A small upset was caused by Russian side Virtus Pro who lead group A with three wins to zero, after catching local heroes Na`Vi off guard with an aggressive lineup featuring Naix, Undying, Batrider, Shadow Demon and a strong Queen of Pain.
ArtStyle's Netolic passed their first assignments as well, taking out Ukrainian sides SSD and Eyeless. The new team has yet to cross swords with Na`Vi however; a match which will potentially decide who gets the better seeding for the Quarter Finals to be played on Saturday.
Not much is decided in group B on the other hand, which only completed two rounds so far. Empire, iLuminate and iCCup (formerly DevilMice) currently reside on top and will have to secure their playoff slots tomorrow.
