Mars Dota 2 League 2017: a look at each team’s current form, part 1

There isn’t much information available regarding the Mars Dota 2 League 2017. The eight teams have been revealed, so this article will take two teams and explain their playing form heading in. Things that we do know about the Mars Dota 2 League: it’s organized by Mars Media; all matches will be played offline at the Optics Valley International Tennis Center in China; the tournament lasts five days (July 5-9th, 2017).

When considering each team’s playing form, I’m only looking at the last four weeks of professional play.

Mars Dota 2 League – 4 invitees, 3 qualified teams, 1 replacement

Newbee: in form

Newbee has steadily improved after their dead last finish that the Kiev Major. They look like a different squad from the one we watched get reverse-swept by Team Liquid. Though Newbee missed EPICENTER and the Dota Summit 7 with 5-6th Place finishes in those qualifiers, something has changed. They’re gelling better and the consistency is up. Newbee‘s last three events have led to finals appearances.

OG: out of form

Everyone talks OG up (normally for good reason); however, I’d be lying if I told you I’m confident in them these days. Unlike Newbee, OG has been on a down trend since the Kiev Major. Given, they placed first. It’s tough to bring that level of consistent play to the table every tournament. OG won two $1,000,000 tournaments in a span of four months. The Kiev Major champions missed the Top 4 of their last two events. To make matters worse, they missed the EPICENTER playoffs altogether. Winning three games and losing six doesn’t get the job done. Highlights are below.

Thanks a lot for reading, make sure you check out part 2 for Evil Geniuses and Invictus Gaming. Reach out on Twitter and share any thoughts you have. I reply to all tweets sent my way.

(Photo: League of Legends) With the upcoming changes to League of Legends' runes and masteries being discussed more and more as Keystone Runes and reimbursement plans are revealed, lots of players are becoming uncertain or downright upset with how the transition is being handled.

10 Top Sexiest League of Legends Skins

One of the largest games in the world, League of Legends is no stranger to well-done character creation and character appearance. As a Free To Play game, though, Riot Games, the game's creator, needed a way to recoup their costs and make it a truly profitable game. Enter the idea of skins. Just like many other Free to Play games, players can purchase new champion outfits (also known as skins) to customize their champion in a new way. As over 90% of League of Legends players are male, it may come as no surprise that many of the female champion skins are pretty easy on the eyes. Short skirts, bare stomachs, and long legs are the par for many of the available female champion skins. Not all sexy skins are created equal, though. Here at some of the 10 Top Sexiest League of Legends skins. Some are still available for purchase while others will just have to be something you lust over. Click Here to Continue

By clicking on the horn on this page, viewers will be taken to a separate page where a Freljordian song will start playing. The poem mentions "Orrn the Mountainsmith," who is believed to be the next champion that will be a part of the 7.17 PBE update. The only information we know so far is that the champion will be a part of the Vanguard class, as mentioned in the Champion Roadmap post that Riot made back in July.
