In what's set to be a classic contest, famous DotA players of the past and present return to their former homes and forge temporary alliances to compete in an epic showmatch: MYM Kingdom vs Clan Allstars.
On MYM's side, perennial captain Maelk - as ever - will lead his side into battle, with his long-time companion MaNia- and one of his newest recruits, DeMoN, by his side. But, joining them in the fight will be former MYM stars Fear – now of OK.Nirvana.International - and H4nn1, who now plies his trade on Heroes of Newerth.
However, they face formidable opponents in Clan Allstars, a star-studded collective of players who will be captained by Na'Vi leader ArtStyle. Joining him for this one-off clash is Moscow 5's NS; Team GosuGamers new leader and precious talent KuroKy; former DotA star, now HoN player and famed SK-Gaming captain Loda, and the recently reinvigorated Russian legend Vigoss.
Statement from Jimmy 'DeMoN' Ho
-"It's great to be fighting with both old MYM members Fear and H4nni with the current team. I've never really spoke nor have fought together with H4nni, but only hear great things about him. I hope the war between MYM Kingdom and Clan Allstars will stay in the mind of everyone for long!"
Statement from Ivan 'ArtStyle' Antonov
"This is an honor and such a great challenge for me to face the Kingdom but all the warriors within our army are amazing and it will be a lot of fun to fight against them. I am looking forward to make this war and establish new strategies."
