Electricity filled the air as Davao prepared themselves for the hype in the Davao Cyber Expo 2012 (DCE '12) - DotA Competition Grand Finals.

Mski.Vero, takes 2nd in Street Fighter

Mineski didn't only take the attention of the Davao Dota community, but the community of 2D fighting as well specifically at Street Fighter IV. Mineski's newest pro-player, Mski.Vero, took the tournament by storm but fell short as he ends up with only 2nd place.
