It’s Day Three at the Dota 2 Shanghai Major; the second stop on the road to The International 6 and the first multi-million dollar Dota 2 tournament of 2016. Today, we’ll see all four Group C teams in action, beginning with a pair of Best of Three series pitting OG against Team Archon and LGD Gaming against Newbee. But which two teams will join Alliance, MVP Phoenix, Team Secret and Team Spirit in the Upper Bracket Quarter Finals?
Thankfully, Wednesday’s lag issues, affecting those watching the Shanghai Major via the Dota 2 client, didn’t seem to be nearly as prevalent on Thursday night. Now, fans can take advantage of the recently implemented post-match MVP voting feature, instead of ditching the client and watching the Dota 2 Shanghai Major on Twitch. Of course, if you’re still having issues with the game client, fans can still catch most of the action on Twitch and Steam Broadcasting.
