Pandemic DotA, widely considered as the top North American DotA team, won first place of the 5v5 DotA division at LANageddon this weekend in Calgary, Alberta Canada. LANageddon is Calgary’s largest and longest running LAN party, hosting tournaments in a wide variety of games. LANageddon is an annual event that has been going on for seven years, however, this is the first year that a DotA division has been offered due to increasing popularity. It is considered to be one of Canada’s most prestigious LANs, attracting hundreds of world class competitors.

Pandemic was able to send three starters; Fachh, Dijongenie, and Swissbeatz while adding two players (Tjor and Greenwood) to complete their five man roster. Dijongenie flew to Canada to participate in the event. Pandemic’s squad tore through the preliminary field using the same lineup of Tinker solo, Silencer solo, and a tri-lane of Zeus/Earthshaker/Vengeful Spirit. Excellent coordination in the trilane led by Fachh resulted in many kills and under leveled opponents in each game. Dijongenie played very well as tinker, executing ganks flawlessly and racking up kills. Swissbeatz’s Silencer had great micro and carried Pandemic in team battles. Tjor and Greenwood also played very well in the supporting role. Overall skill and great teamwork allowed Pandemic to go undefeated thorough out the tournament, defeating team Sup Wit It in the final match and placing first.
