Multiple sources staying with players have told joinDOTA that ru Akbar ‘SoNNeikO’ Butaev checked out of the Westin Seattle around 4:00AM local time before the start of Day 3. The eighteen-year-old Power Rangers transfer was eliminated with Na’Vi’s first match. Is this another in a line of signals that Na’Vi may be facing roster changes, or even disbandment?

The stunning fall of Secret to the lower bracket at the hands of EHOME left many speechless. Along with the loss of Cloud 9 G2A and Team Empire, it appeared that Eastern Dota had once again taken over the international. Consequently, the rough drop brought Secret and IG head-to-head in an elimination match. Both teams house TI champions hungry for a second aegis to take home - only one could press forward. These teams firmly stood in each other’s way of such a historical feat.

The first match of the day three is over and VP come back from 0-1 down to beat coL, eliminating them from the tournament.

After a series of upsets in day two, day three features the final CIS team and the TI5 favorite, Secret, fighting for their tournaments lives.

The best Rubick in the history of Dota 2.

Amazing Fy plays combined with the proverbial C9 inability to close games lead to the inevitable demise of yet another western team.

In one of the most spectacular series so far, the Koreans fought fire with fire, matching and surpassing Empire’s appetite for full on aggressive DotA.

The second series from The International 5 Upper Bracket ended up with Team Secret dropping their first series in the main event and the Chinese wild card winners, EHOME securing top six place.

The first match of day two was plagued with delays but it finally ended with EG beating coL 2-0 and securing a top six finish while coL drop down to the lower bracket.

Again The International 2015 is marred by delays as the first game of the day has hit nearly an hour of pause time so far and more than half the seats have emptied. The cause of delays appear to be different than yesterday because the Key Arena network is still working. AT 12:32 local time, Paul «Redeye» Chaloner announced that the cause was linked to Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attacks.
