The MLG Fall Invitational has concluded and two teams have emerged victorious. The first day, which consisted of Dota 2 action, saw Team Dignitas take home $10,000 and the chance to compete with the world's top Dota 2 teams at the MLG Columbus Championship in November. Team Dignitas had a hefty team shuffle following their poor performance at The International earlier this year and go into Columbus looking to prove they belong in the conversation with the top international teams.
