The tournament was a total surprise.
Aurora got crushed by Ekka 2-0
, 1Win got crushed by Shiro 2–1
, and Playtime got eliminated with a score of 322—they might even end up in jail
That’s normal, right?
So much for the EWC
Well, drafts are
just too decisive right now. I don’t know
. Aurora’s play was unbelievably
bad. 1Win’s performance on Map 3 was just awful.
Everyone’s already learned how to play
Dota. Come up with something, for crying out loud.
Earlier, Timur “Ahilles” Kulmukhambetov commented on PlayTime’s disqualification from the 2026 Esports World Cup in Dota 2: “They got off easy. Most likely, DarkMago did what Solo did back in the day. He took all the blame.”
