Your matches
Trav2s 2–0 Lala
Game 1 MVP
Jerracabra (12–2–4 pos. 1 Ursa)
Do not read dotabuff, he got a 13 minute battlefury and outside of fedding twice from 15–19 minutes, absolutely dominated the game. Had a free lane against a dual melee offlane and had the Squiddy kotl in his lane. After his feeding session midgame, the Lala team picked up 1 kill post 19 minutes to close out a 1 sided game 1.
Game 2 MVP
Ghost (9–3–7 pos. 3 Legion Commander)
Capping off a strong week, Ghost had an impressive LC that included 126 duel damage in a quick game 2 win. More of a back and forth game than game 1, but the Trav2s stack hit a strong midgame timing that in addition to one of Lala’s players DC’ing was too much for the Lala stack to hold onto.
Logical 1–1 ColonelSquid
Game 1 MVP
Smack (9–1–11 pos. 3 Legion Commander)
Big fat noober went back for a silver edge after a blink dagger smh. Had an impressive game 1 as his team had a relatively straightforward path to victory as Logical went 11–1–7 on pos. 1 faceless void.
Game 2 MVP
Jah (19–4–14 pos. 1 Nature’s Prophet)
Definitely picked up a big portion of the slack from his team, with his pos. 2 ColonelSquid going 11–13–12 on mid Venge. Almost dealt out more damage than the rest of his team combined, contributing to 59.9k out of 136.1k.
CC 0–2 Matieu
Game 1 MVP
Harbinger (11–1–8 pos. 2 Templar Assassin)
All 3 of the Matieu tricore went off in game 1 as they rolled over the CC team in a very one sided 29 minutes. Harbinger picked up a 20 minute aghs-deso-treads-blink on TA as he had a free lane and transitioned into having a free game.
Game 2 MVP
Filski (5–2–11 pos. 3 Night Stalker)
This could have gone to any one of the members from Matieu team, but Filski’s tree cutting caused a 23 minute rage quit from the CC team (pictured above) so hard not to give him the MVP. Backed up by another strong week from Bloo on pos. 4, the Matieu stack cruised to a 2–0.
BobbyPMA 0–2 Fume
Game 1 MVP
Tiggles (2–1–12 pos. 4 Mirana)
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA how does this team keep getting Mirana through in these drafts. Dotabuff listed Tiggles as a core this game and the Fume stack steamrolled Bobby team for a 23 minute game 1 win.
Game 2 MVP
Fume (11–3–12 pos. 1 Juggernaut)
In a very back and forth game 2 networth wise, Fume stack was able to pull it out after winning a big teamfight once Bitterra’s bkb came out on Morphling. The Bobby stack wasn’t able to recover as the 600 networth advantage ballooned up to a 13k networth lead in a 35 minute game loss. Oh yeah Fume did well too.
Dark 1–1 Captain Pepega
Game 1 MVP
Captain Pepega (10–2–16 pos. 3 Necrophos)
More than held his own against the 2nd highest combined mmr safelane in the division behind only the Miyushi-Double King lane. Was only 400 damage from dealing the most in the server in game 1 despite being an aura heavy build as his team cruised to a game 1 win.
Game 2 MVP
Dark (19–5–12 pos. 1 Troll Warlord) and SSD (2–5–26 pos. 4 IO)
Felt it wouldn’t be fair to not lump these 2 together as I’m sure they were inseparable throughout the game. Somehow died on troll after picking up a Satanic+SNY+having a Wisp, but otherwise played a lights out game 2 to even the series up at 1.
W.Stealer 2–0 avgpeen
Game 1 MVP
W.Stealer (15–2–6 pos. 2 Medusa)
Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.
Game 2 MVP
Simple (6–1–18 pos. 1 Night Stalker)
Unfortunately had to pick up the slack from his giga virg pos 2+3 players who played furion+medusa, but he answered the call in a big way. Going the giga chad halberd->AC build, was able to create enough chaos on the map for his medusa to grab a butterfly and push down a lane before AM was ready to fight.
thamaestro 2–0 doss
Game 1 MVP
Trex (Popped the question)
Congrats on the engagement :)
Game 2 MVP
BettersonMcGee (1–7–21 pos. 5 Lich)
Along with [insert stand-in here] was able to dominate the safe lane which helped his team stop a 22 pick Chester Hot Fries Huskar from running out of control as well as giga baited a 5–1 Huskar into diving him under a tier 1 for his 2nd death that stopped his snowball as well as gave the already massive riki his death bounty.
Ecl9ipse 0–2 INSANE CORNDOG
Game 1 MVP
Prohibit (14–6–9 (nice) pos. 2 Bounty Hunter)
Okay now this is epic. Phase->drums->aghs->radiance Bounty Hunter. POWERFUL. Unfortunately, ruined his build with a beta king bar, but his team took a 10 minute 3k networth lead and slowly choked out the map and never let the Skkip PL come online.
Game 2 MVP
Prohibit (14–0–5 pos. 2 Faceless Void)
Lemon needs to get a shoutout for a solid series, but I cannot give MVP to an Ursa player. How Ursa was able to get picked 2 games in a row, I don’t know, but whatever. Prohibit once again said fuck you and fuck your mid heroes as he played void mid and had a free game as he picked into an Alchemist.
Econ 2–0 FrenZyy
Game 1 MVP
Stang (8–1–13 pos. 2 Templar Assassin)
Game 1 was a big team effort from Econ team, with all 5 members having a game good enough to deserve MVP. Stang gets the edge here as he got his signature hero this season and going off despite having to lane against the FrenZyy Furion.
Game 2 MVP
Double King (18–5–8 pos. 1 Razor)
Just like in game 1, all of the Econ team played well as they only gave up 18 deaths in a 41 minute game 2. DK gets the nod here for just his sheer kills as well as damage dealt as he contributed 18 of his teams 34 kills as the Econ stack took the series 2–0.
Mu 1–1 DJ Dingus
Game 1 MVP
AntiVirus (11–4–24 pos. 4 Clockwerk)
Absolutely killed it in game 1, out-damaging everyone in the server except his spectre, despite it being a fairly poor clock game. Otherwise the game was extremely 1 sided as the DJ Dingus stack held an almost 5k networth lead at 10 minutes and kept that stranglehold on the game until it mercifully ended at 31 minutes.
Game 2 MVP
Mu (14–3–6 pos. 2 Queen of Pain)
The Mu stack managed to just not die and outfarmed the DJ Dingus stack who ran out an extremely fast paced Pudge-Wind Ranger-Razor tricore. Mu contributed to over half his teams total kills as his team managed to just out farm the map and win a prolonged game 2 in 49 minutes.
Envi 1–1 Alpha
Game 1 MVP
Envi (19–1–10 pos. 1 Ursa)
Unfortunately, had to give another MVP to an Ursa this week, but well earned for Envi. The tricore of Envi-Zamolxes-Shade managed only 4 total deaths in a 1 sided game 1.
Game 2 MVP
Charbz (17–4–13 pos. 3 Axe)
In a reversal of game 1, the tricore of Charbz-Alpha-Melody put together a ridiculous game 2 as they combined for 41–9 scoreline. The Alpha stack took a 4k lead at 10 minutes and never let it go as they held a substantial networth lead throughout the midgame en route to a 35 minute win.
DrSteel 2–0 Brightside
Game 1 MVP
CamelFarmer (11–1–14 pos. 2 Ember Spirit)
Outside of resident fedder, HullCity07, the DrSteel stack didn’t die past 15 minutes as they took game 1 convincingly just under 30 minutes. CamelFarmer was tasked with making space for his sidelane Luna+Naga combo farmed until they were able to walk out of the jungle, which im not sure their Naga did, who managed to lowest damage in the server, BUT put up a game high 637 GPM.
Game 2 MVP
Snow (8–1–10 pos. 3 Timbersaw)
The offlane timber worked out well as HullCity was allowed to play a jungle Enigma, allowing his timber to get solo xp as well as some farm on their 4. After winning both sidelanes, the DrSteel stack took control of the game in the midgame and kept their advantage for another fairly quick game 2 win.
USDanny 2–0 Iceyeti
Game 1 MVP
Rice Boi (17–4–6 pos. 2 Mirana)
The Rice Bros get back on track with a game 1 win where Rice Boi contributed to 17 of his teams 37 kills. However, in a very uncharacteristic move, actually had 1/2 of his deaths AFTER he bought his bkb instead of before.
Game 2 MVP
Rice Boi (22–8–7 pos. 2 Pugna)
In a very close game 2, where it was extremely back and forth until the USDanny stack took control of the networth at 39 minutes after a rough 7 for 1 teamfight for the Iceyeti stack. The lead surged from there as the USDanny stack could rely on their spectre to carry them in the late game.
Rusy 1–1 goatsatan
Game 1 MVP
FooSquash (8–2–13 pos. 2 Jakiro)
Unfortunately only dealt 8k tower damage. His sidelanes also did well enough that the Jakiro-TA mid matchup was made worse because they kind of just ran out of space on the map. Grouped up as a team and ended the game in a little over 25 minutes.
Game 2 MVP
Remster (18–8–22 pos. 1 Luna)
Despite his teams best efforts to throw this game, they received the RD2L special — the counter throw. In a real “snatching victory from the jaws of defeat” moment by the goatsatan stack, they managed to snatch victory, then place it nicely back into the jaws of defeat for the Rusy stack to take the game 2 win.
Reedy 0–2 AcidRain
Game 1 MVP
AcidRain (8–2–10 pos. 3 Enigma)
Continuing his strong laning with fellow divine, Jynx, the pair put on a strong game 1 as they were able to nullify Sonnegod’s Sven. In an impressive feat, Target managed to deal the lowest damage on his team, despite playing magnus pos. 2.
Game 2 MVP
Target (10–3–15 pos. 2 Lycan)
Picked up an 18 pick Lycan and went off, erasing his so-so game 1 performance. Another strong team performance as all members put in a solid game as they took game 2 in a convincing 31 minutes.
Quantum Jojo 0–2 Bestpinoza
Game 1 MVP
The Rulebook
Game 2 MVP
/apex (8–3–15 pos. 1 Terrorblade)
Not the most impressive game from a farm or scoreline sense, but was his teams only lane that won their lane as well as winning his lane against a Tusk+Beastmaster. Despite that lane and a near 5k networth disadvantage at 11 minutes, he managed to find enough space on the map to pump out a 763 gpm TB and take the game “2”.
Wizard of Chaos 2–0 agony
Game 1 MVP
Cum Taco?
Game 2 MVP
Cum Taco.
7EMPEST 1–1 Sebastian
Game 1 MVP
Weight (11–7–20 pos. 4 Enigma)
Will like to add that Alpaca played pos. 3 Lich this game. Me writing on this game does it a disservice as I’m sure whoever turned that last fight deserves the MVP for this game.
Game 2 MVP
Cam (13–2–9 pos. 2 Morphling)
Game 2 was very much the Cam and Minicolt show as they combined for 29–4, but Cam will get the nod as he didn’t get to play gigabusted Ursa. Was pretty much a carbon copy of game 1 minus the throw of all throws.
Kira 0–2 The Clamburglar
Game 1 MVP
Cuddles (6–3–25 pos. 5 Jakiro)
Despite the first 15 or so minutes looking rough for the Clamburglar team as they were only 500 gold ahead despite running an alchemist lineup, several key fights got them back into the game and they cruised to a game 1 victory. Cuddles contributed to 78% of his teams total kills as well as spending the most in the game on support items all while keeping an almost 600 xpm.
Game 2 MVP
Lyk0sTv (14–0–8 pos. 2 Lone Druid)
The Clamburglar team had a very straightforward, 21 pick LD, stomp the game, win in 21 minutes game 2. Very rare for that team as most of their wins this season happen to end after 60 minutes.
Voldrox 2–0 Calamity
Game 1 MVP
Senya (21–2–9 pos. 2 Clinkz)
The newest member of the stack putting in a massive game 1. Was pretty much a throwaway series from the Calamity stack as they are eliminated from playoffs and picked a VERY meme draft.
Game 2 MVP
Hype (15–5–9 pos 1. Medusa)
Not much to add when its a medusa lineup against an offlane techies and mid sniper.

Trav2s Top 5 Games to Watch
5. Logical (9–5) vs. Dark (9–5)
If one team manages to get 0–2'd they will have to play in to make playoffs. Also the Dark vs Logical carry matchup is a must watch.
4. Envi (7–7) vs. AcidRain (7–7)
The most EST sun vs EST sun matchup out there with the playoffs on the line
3. FrenZyy (6–8) vs. The Clamburglar (6–8)
The surging Clamburglar stack vs the faltering FrenZyy stack. If one of the teams can pull out a 2–0, they can be playing in to playoffs.
2. Brightside (6–8) vs. Rusy (6–8)
Can Brightside shut down Rusy in the midlane to help his team make playoffs?
1. Quantum Jojo (5–9) vs. Sebastian (5–9)
Even though playoffs at 7–9 is a long shot, it might be possible still and a Minicolt vs Freightrain brother vs brother matchup is exciting to see.
