EG and Secret Top after Day One of Dota Asia Championships

by on January 29, 2015
 

Just the other day I was talking to our video man Colm about the Dota Asia Championships, saying that I don’t think the western teams will do that well at the event due to a variety of factors. If it weren’t for everyone’s favourite team NaVi I would be eating my words right now.

The first day of the group stage is over, with some teams playing up to four games. Currently atop of the table is American side Evil Geniuses with four wins and zero losses. Joining them on a undefeated run is fellow westerners Team Secret with three wins and zero losses and in 2nd place.

Surprisingly SEA team Rave are in 3rd having won three and lost one, then there is a mega five way tie for 4th. You can see the full standings below.

Thankfully I don’t look like a total idiot because A) NaVi are dead last with zero wins and three loses (despite a great run through the wildcard series). And B) There is still a lot of Dota to be played before the round robin stage is over.

If you want to catch up on todays proceedings all the VOD’s are on the BTS YouTube page, and full match roundups are on GosuGamers.
