China\u2019s Wings Gaming<\/a> are the International 6<\/a> (TI6) champions after defeating Digital Chaos<\/a> in a 3-1 series last night.<\/p>
Wings, who were laughed straight out of the Manila Major in last place, showed little to no difficulty in completely dismantling their opponents throughout the upper bracket; thrashing teams like Digital Chaos, MVP Phoenix<\/a>, and Evil Geniuses<\/a>, before once again disposing of Digital Chaos in the grand finals.<\/p>
The European-American roster, meanwhile, had to suffer their way through the lower bracket, making a tremendous run straight through five teams in their path to the grand final, resulting in Digital Chaos playing the most games throughout the entire tournament. Their run culminated in a victory against last year\u2019s champions<\/a> Evil Geniuses in the lower bracket finals.<\/p>

Never before has the field been more evenly matched in Dota 2<\/em><\/a>. Heading into the event, one could have easily made the case that Wings were destined to fall short of the grand finals. It would have been the reasonable call to make, given their lacklustre results in the past. But just like Wings own playstyle is seemingly shaped around breaking convention, so too did they shatter the perception surrounding them as they became the International 6 champions and took home a grand total of $9.1 million dollars.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
