It doesn't seem to be reflected yet on
The International website,
but Valve announces that Evil Geniuses have won this
Dota 2 tournament, taking
home a little over $6.6 million, the grand prize in the competition's $18 million
prize pool. Word is:
Evil Geniuses (EG) are the The 2015 International
Dota 2 champions, and have captured the winner's portion of the record breaking
$18 mil prize pool.
EG captured the crown by defeating CDEC 3 games to 1in front of a sold our crowd
at Seattle's Key Arena. The two teams found themselves in the final after
successfully making it thru the week-long, 16 team Main Event portion of TI5.
This was the fifth annual International Dota 2 Championship event. For more

The
Star Trek Online website outlines plans for "New Dawn," the upcoming season
11 for the Trekkie MMORPG, saying this will offer the conclusion of the
five-year Iconian War story arc.
This trailer
accompanies the update, and here's a bit on the plan:
New Dawn will rise
out of the grim wartime tale to introduce an all-new story focused on rebuilding
and hope. Discover a previously unknown civilization and uncover the mystery of
a strange traveler from another time. New Dawn also sees the return of Chase
Masterson reprising her role as Mirror Leeta from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, a
returning member from the large stable of Star Trek franchise actors.
Along with new lore and story progression in Season 11, Star Trek Online will
also be updated with new gameplay options in the form of the Admiralty System.
Take command of your inactive starships to complete dangerous assignments and
gather exciting rewards, while advancing your influence in the Admiralty
campaigns. Within this system, each starship is given special traits and stats
that must be used to successfully complete assignments. Plan carefully which
ships are sent on which assignment in order to meet their requirements and
offset various hazards, in an effort to yield great rewards across any of three
separate campaigns.

Here's a follow-up on the topic from yesterday of noisy neighbors, as the woman
who lives across the street has her own way of showing her unhappiness about
them, which is to play her own loud music. This is presumably to drown out the
noise, and there was some sort of party in a yard adjacent to hers which
prompted her to do this yesterday. I always laugh when this happens (she'd do it
when the children next door played in the yard), because she's not some sort of
metalhead or anything, so she ends up playing this really mild folk music at
absurd volume. There's something really comical about trying to drown out noisy
neighbors by blasting Peter, Paul and Mary.
