Blasted timezones. I wasn't able to stay up too late last night to watch the start of the first ever Dota 2 tournament, premiering at Gamescom. I think I stayed up from 1AM to 2AM, but the first 40 minutes of the livestream were laggy due to a bad connection. And I woke up too late this morning, so I caught the tail end of it.

Since I didn't get to watch day 1 of the tourny, I'm relying on the other guys to summarize the event for you.

PC Gamer has all of the information you would need to catch up with:
You can see the four group tables as they stand now on the Dota 2 site. The schedule page will give you access to a comprehensive scoreboard (or “match page,” as they’re called)for every match that has been played so far, including precise stats on each players’s gold per minute earnings, XP per minute gains, last hits, denies and kills. The Results page will eventually host replays of every match, but there are two you can watch right now, TyLoo vs. OK.Nirvana.cn ... and OK.Nirvana.Int vs Virus. Replays will also be added to the Dota 2 Youtube channel.

Day 2 of the tournament will be starting at 10:00 o 'clock (GMT +2) today, so visit the Dota 2 website to catch the livestream!

Also, here's a few extra goodies that you should find palpable.
