Gosucup: AEON.ru triumphs over KS

Most
of the remaining matches for GosuCup #2 Round One are scheduled before
this weekend with many exciting matches coming your way.

The first round of Gosucup #2 is already concluding with MCiTY defeating dmZ and TeG winning against DIPS. The remaining matches and their respective timings are listed below:

XtC vs Tribal.Int 23rd January at 1300 CET. Blight.Int vs The Shit! (Unscheduled) DTS vs LaginHed (Unscheduled) Kingsurf vs AEON.ru tomorrow at 1630 CET. SGC vs PMS 23rd January at 1400 CET. MYM vs Pandemic today at 2300 CET.

Team LaginHed, comprising of mostly former team nfinity players replaces team Thermaltake as they have already disbanded. Most of the remaining matches have been scheduled to be played by the weekend, and out of the four scheduled matches, Kingsurf versus AEON.ru is the clash which will garner the most attention with both teams having shown strong performances during offline play but are less impressive during online tournaments. It will be interesting to see how the new members and stand ins for both teams mesh with Kingsurf's latest addition XiaoXiaoFong and AEON.ru with stand-ins Loda and Azen.

The dual Singaporean teams of XtC and PMS are eagerly anticipating their games. XtC have shuffled their roster recently and will gauge the extent of their teamwork against Tribal.int. PMS will see their match against SGC as a warm-up match before they head to Shanghai for the Iron Ladies DotA tournament.GosuCup #2 round one update

GosuCup action this weekend

GosuCup kicks off with two games that will be taking place today, where dmZ takes on the Australians from MCiTY and a East vs West clash in XtC and Tribal.Int.

The long awaited GosuCup #2 launches with two very exciting matches that will be taking place today. We begin the day with an exhilarating match against the often feared German team, diamondZ, and the intimidating Australians, MCiTY. Along the way, we see a very rarely occuring event: an Asian team, XtC, and European team, Tribal.Int, going head-to-head online.

diamondZ	[0:0] (Matchticker)	MCiTY

Although both partake in Farm4Fame, the two have not met in a league since the DotA Pride tournament in November, where MCiTY took the crown. Since their last meeting, however, both dmZ and MCiTY have made revisions to their roster. Will the roster modifications made since their last match change the outcome of the game?

XtC	[0:0] (Matchticker)	Tribal.Int

Being one of the first matches since the MYM PriDe tournaments in October '08 where an Asian and European team met online, this match has stirred up a great deal of attention. Tribal.Int and XtC have never met in an online or offline event, so this match will prove to be quite exciting!
