Razer’s Global Challenge just ended with Nirvana.CN from China taking home the gold medal with a 3-1 win over NWO.
Nirvana.CN may not have much of an offline success for the year, but the RGC win is more than a compensation for the Chinese. They overcame the lags and delays of online play to emerge victorious over more than 1000 teams.

Reading this suggests you have familiarized yourself with how the Far Seer’s spells work in practice. My aim when writing this was to combine both non-debatable and still intriguing information such as some advanced mechanics with my personal opinion and prediction on how the hero should and probably would be played. Enjoy reading.

The long awaited clash of the western titans is finally upon us as DDT faces off against Nirvana.int in the Farm 4 Fame 2.5 playoff final later tonight.
Team News:
The game we have all been waiting for these past few months is coming up very shortly in tonight’s Farm 4 Fame 2.5 playoff finale. Touted as the top two DotA teams in the West currently, Ducky’s Dream Team & Nirvana.International and will be facing off against each other for the first time in an official tournament. A couple of months ago, Jonathan ‘Loda’ Berg said in his blog that his team defeated Clement ‘Puppey’ Ivanov’s all-star crew during practice. On paper, DDT seems to hold a slight advantage as they have yet to lose a game this month while Nirvana.int’s winning streak has been unceremoniously ended by DTS.Chatrix in Pick-League XIII.

The Farm4Fame: Second Blood relegation stage is well underway, with OK triumphing over DTS and LAN over SGC.
| Relegation teams |
 MYM (11) |
 MCiTY sGty (7) |
 Online Kingdom (5) |
 Local Area Network (4) |
 Storm Games Clan (4) |
| DTS Chatrix (3) |
The six teams fighting for survival in the relegation leg of this tournament are all trying to claim to final two spots for the final round, joining Nirvana.int and DDT. MYM and MCiTY are the closest contenders to these two powerhouses, but one cannot write off a side such as OK, who have been performing tremendously well in their last couple of matches. All games will follow a best of three format. The five games played between OK, DTS, LAN and SGC have all been shoutcasted by TobiWan, with OK vs. DTS Game Three being his personal recommendation.

Coming into the tournament, Ks.Int was seen as the number 1 team in the world. Of course, there are always disputes about this as rowdy American fanboys will always say EG is the best even as they have had to remake the team with many leaving not too long ago. And there is always talk of Ravens being a top team, albeit they have struggled lately with a lack of motivation it seems. This tournament would most likely define the new #1 team however, with 4 of the world’s best teams playing [EG, TeG, Ks.int, Ravens]. We saw a powerhouse matchup right off the bat however, with the “new” EG facing off against Ks.int.

The beginning of game 1 started with action right off the bat. Enigma went to jungle like normal in the sentinel jungle, however Ks.Int had him warded at the start. Swy grabs a double damage immediately and goes right to ganking him. BigdaddyG (Swissbeatz) is able to escape, thanks in part to realizing the clarity going off on SK and canceling it, allowing him to escape. SK proved to be somewhat useless when he ventured top for a while, until a nice double kill by PotM was made. Slowly, however, EG gained a small kill advantage by the 12 minute mark.
