Following on from the International Series a few months ago in which Ukraine Na'vi stormed to victory, we will again see Dota 2 in competitive format despite the game being some way off public release. The game is currently in the development phase with new content being added every week, so the version of the game that you will see this weekend will be far advanced from the one showcased earlier in the year. The group-stages have yet to get underway, and they are as follows:

Group 1
China EHOME eSports
Russia Moscow Five
Denmark monkeybusiness
France Virus Gaming
Czech Republic Storm Games Clan
Bolivia Lias Gaming

Group 2
Ukraine Natus Vincere

Didn't mana get knocked out in the group stages? I was surprised when I saw him place 4th (I think) in his group.

Dunno what happened, came back while Stephano was playing against ClouD but apparently MaNa ended 2nd of his group -> http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Electronic_Sports_World_Cup_2011/Main_Tournament

edit: ok seems like they played a tie-break between MaNa, biGs and sYz

"The reason was because the immigration didn't believe to one of the gamers about the tournament since ESWC didn't pay their hotel reservation in France, when they called to confirm their status and reservation they didn't have anything so they put them in the next flight back to Bolivia"
