I want to thank Kibyu for organizing another awesome staff cup. We were preparing ourselves for several months because this is after all the biggest tournament of the year. After lots of roster changes we have finally set up the right chemistry in the team and won 5,000,000 virtual bragging right points, that I will spend at twitter, joinDOTA forums and twitch chat. I want to thank my teamm8s Scant, Noxville, SlashStrike and Kvothedota for carrying me into my 2nd staff cup victory. After winning my 2nd title I will most likely retire for the time being and reband 2 days before next staff cup announcement. I want to thank Kibyu for organizing another awesome staff cup.

Once more, not a single team fromwas able to take home the title, where it actually belongs. Even our biggest hopewas not ready enough to take it all.
