Playing Dota on a cruise ship, fighting against Roshan who is controlled by a human or choosing your opponents so you can survive the easiest: some Dota tournaments embraced a different format from the usual serious events.

This week Dan welcomes the support player of Vikin.gg and someone who has reached a formidable 10,000 MMR, Adam 'Aramis' Moroz.

This week's guest for Position 6 is Evil Geniuses coach, Sam 'Bulba' Sosale. Our host Dan Offen asked the former pro player about his career, becoming a coach, EG's recent change of offlaners and Bulba's return to competing as a stand-in in some of the past tournaments.

The wait is nearly over as Valve announced dates for the DPC to resume. With no official tournaments over the past months, the competitive scene faced several issues. Fans and pro players were waiting for the circuit to start again, so the fight towards The International can finally continue.

The current patch circumstances are unique because there haven’t been any updates for over two months, which means that developments in the metagame are all driven by high-level player’s decisions and constantly shifting perceptions of what works the best at any given moment.
