MYM Prime Nation #2


original author: Milo-

Once again the MYM DotA crew announced a Prime Nations cup. After the last one in the nations format which took place about four months ago it's finally time for all country's to gather their best players again to represent it to the DotA world.

The prizes consist of money and free club MYM memberships for the top three nations and the rules are very similar to the ones of the latest Prime Defending. At the moment the following 16 teams seeded: Estonia, France, Ukraine, Spain, South Korea, Greece, Denmark, Russia, Singapore, Chile, Canada, Slovakia, Germany, Sweden, Turkey, and Finland.


updates/coverage: MYM Prime Nation 2

............................

the seeded team are based on their performance on MYM Pride#1 - those who qualify from the group stage. Malaysia, and even U.S.A are unfortunate to be grouped together with Singapore and South Korea in the last Prime, making it hard for themself to advance from the group stage. In the last Prime, we've seen the domination of Russian, coming from the loser bracket to eventually win the tournament by beating Denmark in the Grand Final. This time around, there will be even more promising and exciting match, now that many team has started to practice together to prepare for this tournament. USA will be even stronger with the addition of players like Merlini and demonhunter, Canada with Remstar, Facch, SwissbeatZ, while half of Malaysian team are taken from the famous Kingsurf team (Yamateh, Xiagui, Xiaoma, Papaxiong, Mikebz) who place third in the latest MYM Prime Defending 8.
Nevertheless, the favorite to win this tournament is still Russia, and expect a strong challenge from Denmark and Sweden. I do hope Malaysia wont be grouped together with powerhouse team, or else it will be difficult for them to advance...
