The champion of Prime Nations #1 - Russia - prolonged their title, with an almost flawless record (only one loss, in the finals) they proved to be the strongest DotA nation once again! After taking out Denmark, last years second place, in the winner-bracket-final with a 2-0 victory they had to face their neighbors, Ukraine. When they lost the first game against Ukraine it seemed as if there was a chance for an upset but Russia corrected their error in game two where they did what they have been doing the entire tournament - winning in style. Congratulations Russia! For replays and discussion, please visit our forums

Team MYM.DotA has won the 9th edition of the prestigious Prime Defending tournament without even losing a game against any of the opponents. In the grand finals against WG they only needed to win one game after coming out of the winners-bracket against VP with a 2-0 victory, congratulations MYM.DotA!

I do want to give a special mention for underdog WolkeR-Gaming (WG) with their amazing performance throughout the tournament and making it to the finals, we hope to see a lot more from this Ukrainian team.

Shortly after the PriDe tournament ended MYM announced their very own league: the Prime Defending League (PDL). This league will consist of the 12 best teams in the world, of which 6 have been directly invited for the first season of PDL. The remaining 6 teams will be found via Prime Defending #10, which will serve as the qualifier for PDL. Read more about it here

Lastly I would like to remind everyone that Prime Nations will conclude today where title defender Russia will face off against Ukraine who beat Denmark in the loser bracket. It will be quite a task for Ukraine to take this home considering that Russia starts with a 1-0 advantage in a BO3, meaning that Ukraine will need to win 2 times in a row! Best of luck to both teams!

Fresh from the press, VP prolonged their title in the Sennheiser MYM PriDe 8 tournament in an exciting final against the MYM.DotA team. An amazing feat, considering it is the third time in a row that they have won this prestigious tournament. As said, MYM ended second with an impressive record throughout the tournament, only losing against VP, and KS, a newcomer to the MYM tourneys ended 3rd, congratulations to all the teams.
