This made it all down to game 5. The first game five ever for the International. One game would decide who became the Grand Champions.
Game 5? It’s too soon to put into words maybe. In a Tournament filled with great games, it was the greatest game we have ever seen. Not one single action by one team went uncountered by the other. It was a slug fest of team fights.
Na’Vi pushed on Alliance’s rax, so if you are Alliance what do you do? Take a tier three tower, maybe two of them, take some rax for yourself, push on the ancient.
That just means Na’Vi will come back and defend. Na’Vi pushed again but for every action, an equal reaction until we were left with an epic team fight on Na’Vi’s ancient battling for control while Alliance continued to sneak in attacks on the Ancient – UNTIL IT FELL.

Second place took home "just" $632,000. In fact, everyone had a decent enough payday since even eighth place took with them over $43,000.
Don't forget that Dota 2 is a free to play MOBA style game developed by Valve. If you missed any of the action from this year's event, you should check out the Dota 2 website. In addition, the replays should also be available on Twitch and even through the game client itself. Seriously, everything you need to catch up can be found at Dota 2.com.
