  Team DK set the tone for their Major League Gaming Championship weekend with a stunning performance in their first set. In a convincing, twenty-eight minute game, Team DK bested The International 3 winning team Alliance dying only three times during their match.

  

Picks and Bans

Alliance Bans: Alchemist, Visage, Anti-Mage, Weaver, Puck

  DK Bans: Lifestealer, Venomancer, Juggernaut, Nightstalker, Lich

  Alliance Picks: Nature's Prophet, Magnus, Naga Siren, Gyrocopter, Enchantress

  DK Picks: Elder Titan, Crystal Maiden, Io, Chaos Knight, Outworld Destroyer

  

The Game

Team DK proved that, despite recent nerfs, Io and Chaos Knight are still a formidable duo that needs to be respected. I would not be surprised to see Team Liquid, Team DK's next opponent, give Io an early ban to avoid having to play against that style.

  It was certainly strange hearing the American audience cheering for the sole Eastern team. A disgruntled Alliance exited the booth while their opponents were greeted by a standing Columbus crowd.

  If anything is certain it's that the East versus West debate will have a new chapter written here in Columbus.
