I've only seen a few videos of her randomly linked on Youtube, but getting Lindsey Stirling to do the music intro is cool.

If she's not playing why is everyone excited? I'm confused.

Those last few chords of the Dota 2 theme always send chills down my spine.

Think it's commendable that Valve got a muslim woman to play the music.
Especially in hijab. Mashallah

Yeah this music intro is already like 2x longer than I would have liked, and they just started another piece.
This guy on the drums with glasses is totally feeling himself.

Why is this still going on
Its her shtick. "Performance art" or whatever prancing about while violin covers of video game songs play in the background. She's big on youtube and has a fanbase it seems.
I'm not a fan if you can't tell. I'd have liked Basshunter instead tbh LUL

Cause it's cool and hype and people paid for a show, not just for Dota.

YO THAT EG PROJECTION WAS SICK.
She miming at least most of it.
i've seen live pieces by her and she has little fuckups all over the place. i'd bet she played it ahead of time and had it recorded for this opening.
I think it doesn't help that the mixing for these type of things put through a live stream are often ass

At least everyone who made it here gets paid and a week in Seattle.
But yeah, gonna be some upsets and some disappointed fans.
I wanna see No Diggity go far but my hopes aren't high.

If I could have any voice in the world, it would be his. It's just amazing.
Same here
Just like Gabe said, Puppey or xiao8 leaving last place, rough. Game is hard.I want Secret to win. I'd like to see EG beat them down at some point if that's at all possible.

I can't believe how esports especially the international feels comparable to other big sport events in the world.
You got the audience, the ambience, the tension. Times has really changed
