Recent Results: Potm Bottom beat Team Empire 2-1 in an entertaining series of games to advance in the lower bracket and knock out Empire. Game 2 in particular had some frantic early game action and Game 3 featured a series of small mistakes from Empire snowballing into a 30 minute double raxxing.

Teams: mousesports vs. Moscow 5

This match has been delayed several times due to some logistical issues from Moscow 5 so do not be surprised if this match is postponed again. This is an upper bracket round 1 match, best of three. The winner goes on to play the winner of today's mTw vs. CLG match. The loser falls into the lower bracket. M5 will seek to avenge their loss Starladder Series loss to mouz.

Teams: uebelst vs. WhA

Lower bracket, best of three match. This game is scheduled for the same time as mouz vs. M5 so the stream may not be available or it may be guest cast by Epi--like today's Na'Vi vs. Quantic game is being. The loser is eliminated from the tournament.

Future Defense Action: At this time, I have not seen the date and times for future matches scheduled.

Other Tournaments of Note:

• ProDota 2 League appears to be on a bit of a hiatus and they move from the league stage to the knockout stage.
• ECAL Americas features some well known teams such as EG, and aL as well as some lesser regarded teams. Hard to follow the action as their official webpage does not seem to be working but the tournament may be worth keeping an eye on.
