This past week mostly revolved around news and interviews from the on-going G-League 2012 Season 2 Dota2 tournament, where DK unexpectedly crashed out after losses to ForLove and LGD.cn, iG crushed everyone, and more. Dotaland has so far translated six separate items from G-League, so check them out below.
Apart from that, the most popular piece was by far an introduction and overview of each of Vici Gaming’s members. The new team released promotional photographs, player bios, and more. Last of all, Dotaland exclusively researched and translated an overview of a large-scale grassroots collegiate Dota league in China, be sure to take a look at that as well!
Additionally, the end of 2012 also meant a look back at the Best of 2012 on Dotaland, with lots of quality reading material and insight.
