EG's Fear debuts Arc Warden with double rapier in Captain's Draft

posted by Malystryx.GDS,

Arc Warden made its competitive debut earlier today in the match between Evil Geniuses and Team Liquid. The match was from DotaCinema's Captain's Draft Season 3, and was the final match of group Hippo. As a result of the match Team Liquid will join the lower bracket, and Arc Warden played quite the role in Evil Geniuses' win in the first game. Ironically

What is Captain's Draft?
Captain's draft is another mode of battle in Dota 2, but uncommon in competitive play. DotaCinema's Captain's Draft was the first tournament to make use of the format in an official capacity.

In Captain's Draft team captains can ban three heroes at the beginning of the draft, and then they take turns picking five heroes from a pool of 27 random heroes. All heroes are available in Captain's Draft, and the 27 random heroes include 9 Strength heroes, 9 Agility heroes, and 9 Intelligence heroes. Arc Warden is not available in Captain's Mode but he is in Captain's Draft.
