With the group stage being concluded, the Frankfurt Major has kicked off in full swing yesterday. We saw two upper bracket and four lower bracket matches filled with amazing Dota 2 plays. Some teams have risen, like the two top teams of The International 5, Evil Geniuses and CDEC Gaming, or came back like Alliance. Others, like Fnatic and Cloud9, have fallen and been eliminated.
The main highlight of yesterday’s matches was definitely Team Unknown taking on Newbee. The Peruvians took down the team who won The International 4 in an impressive manner, continuing to write their great underdog story.
