It's kind of breaking school rules.

The school is very determined

to stop him from pursuing

his chance of going for this contest.

So I think this has created

a big stress for the family.

Gives his mother very headache, you know?

It's quite difficult for us

to pull him out right now, I think.

You know he's so adamant about it.

So that's why when he told me

he's going in August,

I said, "Then how about your school exams?"

"What are you going to do?"

I think my mother,

she was kind of at her limits,

telling me about how much gaming

has been weighing me down.

That was really the talk when I really

opened my heart and I

shared with her my passion for the game

and how much I believed that

my team actually has the potential to win,

to be the best in the world.

So we are stopping at nothing

less than first.

This is how I tried to put it

across to my mom.

By giving up so much to come here

I have absolute confidence

in my team that we will win.

SCYTHE VS EHOME:

Alright the draft is under way.

EHOME, they will select up their heroes.

Scythe will start selecting theirs.

Looking now at both the teams,

it looks like EHOME they're fairly relaxed

while Scythe, you know they're eager.

They're all gathering around hyhy to pick.

If you have a losing draft,

you will lose the game.

This is what I think of Dota.

So it's really a lot on drafting.

Drafting is where two captains will

select what they want to play with.

What heroes are selected

and what heroes are taken out.

You can select five heroes

out of a pool of over a hundred.

And can also remove four of those heroes.

So four heroes you think

your opponent will want to use,

you can remove.

Before any game, any match,

we will decide our bans and picks

according to which team we are fighting.

Usually we would come up with

a very impromptu strategy

to try and fight their strat (strategy).

You really have to spend a lot

of time thinking of the draft.

The draft actually decides

a lot of the game itself.

EHOME. They're a team

with so much experience.

They already know the way

they want to roll this one out.

The only thing that's really going to

make it or break it for them

is if they can get their execution right.

In that particular match-up

we felt that we needed something

that could instill the fear in them.

And Tiny looks to be the last pickup

here from Scythe.

A bit of an interesting pickup

there by Scythe.

It's going to start to change around

their lanes completely now.

With Tiny, it is good as

a surprise strategy.

If another team doesn't realize where

he fits into the whole lineup,

then you can really throw

the opposition off balance.

He's moving away, but no, hyhy,

he'll just turn around and

just pops the Lina.

I want to point out right now that EHOME,

they are not noobs (new to the game).

This is just Scythe playing

an amazing game.

When you have such a huge audience and

you know that everyone is at home

watching the game

they have their hopes pinned on you and

I feel that

there's so much at stake.

And they should be able to

clean it up right now.

Tiny, he's gonna toss, he's gonna launch

and he definitely gets the kill.

We got 357 getting nailed out there.

Nature's Prophet going to get

the last hit in as well.

It's the entire team down for EHOME.

This is GG.

This is now a double-rax, at least.

And EHOME, they're going to disconnect.

We have our first

Winner's Bracket Finalist.

Scythe will advance.

EHOME will drop down into

the Loser's Bracket,

and Scythe will now finish up this game.

SCYTHE WINS:

EHOME CALLS "GG" ("GOOD GAME")

CONCEDING THE MATCH

Yeah, the one million is

yeah, one million.

That's a lot.

It's going to make my time

playing this game all worth it.

Didn't think smoking would do me any good.

When did you start smoking?

Two years back.

Two years back.

Bad move.

That seems to coincide with when you

and your ex-girlfriend broke up.

On bad terms

Seems like she's moved on already.

Back then when she was playing the game

it felt like we had something we shared.

Yeah, but right now, it's like

I think she's following this event, but

probably

This event's big.

I hope I will get to make that phone call.

Finally I'll have something I'm proud of

to tell her about.

Finally.

DAY 3 of 5

When you played the Russians

and the Ukrainians,

they were just the unpredictable teams.

I had no idea what the Russians

were thinking.

That was their best weapon.

Well, we're having fun.

We're trying to relax.

We're trying to scare our opponents.

Mind games. Mind games.

I turn off my brain in the way

of being scared of someone.

One of the things I really

admire about him is how

he hasn't really had an easy life

but he's always so upbeat.

He's always so cheerful.

When he first came on the Dota scene,

he looked like a 12-year-old boy.

Everyone was just, like, "Who is this kid?"

There's no way you can

take this guy seriously.

And then he would destroy you in games!

I saw somewhere on the internet

how he works with the keyboard.

It really is mesmerizing.

I think Danil benefited

from his piano playing

because his hands are absolutely amazing.

He can make really good moves.

His moves, I think are unique,

and they might win you the game.

But he wants to rely completely on skill.

He wants, like, an enemy against him

and he wants to kill him through skill,

nothing more.

He wants to win the game.

His disadvantage is that

he doesn't have patience.

He wants to make those moves.

He can get a little bit too silly in games.

He will try new and different things.

He will overextend in team fights

because he believes he can get the kill.

And his impatience can go too far

and he might lose the game for us.

INVICTUS GAMING VS NA'VI

Oh, Nature's Prophet, he's going to go in.

This should be the First Blood.

They got the Sprout on Sansheng as well.

There's probably going to be a double.

Dendi's ulti, it hits!

Dendi, Dendi, no, no.

He's nothe cannot be.

This is Dendi through and through.

Starts with the Hex, goes to Cold

Snap, he locks him in place!

Weaver really close to death!

Manages to Timelapse back out again.

Dendi will TP (teleport) back to safety.

So GG being called by iG.

Na'Vi, they will take the game.

NA'VI CLINCHES QUARTERFINALS

Our Winners Bracket Finalists are

going to be Na'Vi versus Scythe.

Most teams that you see that have

the most fan bases are full nationality.

Our team is all spread out

across the world.

He does have it a little harder than us

because he doesn't really have

this human support

that we do.

Medford, Oregon

The hardest thing that I've had

to really deal with in my life

is just trying to convince my family

about my gaming career.

It's really, really difficult especially

when you start out slow

but you know there's a future for something

and you put a lot of time into it,

and they keep telling you,

"You should probably get a real job."
