The Group Stage for this year's TI was a close affair, especially Group B. Evil Geniuses topped Group A with an imposing score of 7-0-2, but the spotlight shone on BOOM Esports, who prevailed over Soniqs and BetBoom Team in tiebreakers to qualify for the playoffs.

Group B had Tundra Esports on the top after the dust settled, with both Tundra and Team Secret managing five wins from the Group Stage. Team Spirit came in the middle of the pack, with Talon Esports and TSM being knocked out from Group B.

There's still a lot of DOTA 2 left in this year's The International, and if the Group Stage is any indication, fans are in for a treat. We have seen some top-class gameplay, and it is only going to get better as we get into the business end of the tournament.
