As day 2 draws to a close, Alliance goes into the final day of group stage undefeated. The rest of the field shows as many surprises as expected results. But it isn’t over for anyone. We should all remember Na’Vi’s showing last year that had them leaving group stage just barely avoiding the lower bracket yet still pulling it together and making it to the finals.

As we get closer to the main stage event this Wednesday August 7th, those unable to make it to Benaroya Hall continue to find friends and other Dota 2 fans in local PubStomp events. Currently there are over 18,000 people signed up for 144 events spanning 48 countries – truly an International Event! Monday will be the last day you can register your event on the site but you can continue to signup for a local PubStomp after that.

Compendium owners, you have another night where you can make moves with your roster in the International Fantasy Challenge. Let us know how your fantasy team is doing by sharing your results with us on Twitter.

Monday has short schedule with only one match for each team but we will also be finishing some of the one-v-one matches after the team games. First up will be Mu vs Ferrari 430 with the winner playing iceiceice. The winner of that match will face Mushi Thursday August 8th for the Solo Championship Grand Finals at Benaroya Hall.
