Over the weekend and into the early hours of the morning, there was some great Dota 2 esports taking place as the Summit 11 Minor kicked off the new Dota Pro Circuit season. During the group stage, we saw an upset with NiP getting eliminated by Jfshfh178, the Russian team that took the place of Virtus.Pro. Now, the dust is settling over Los Angeles as the Chinese team Invictus Gaming has claimed the title.
