Many hands make light work.
Tournaments are essential to the growth of Dota 2 as we witness Dota 2 at its best. Below is a style guide on how tournament articles should be styled.
Nationality of Teams
Based on the sum of players of the same nationality. The organization's nationality would be accounted as 1 player. The team's nationality would be determined if half or more of the players are of the same nationality. If two nationalities ends in a draw, the nationality with the organization prevails. Otherwise a continental flag, or the world flag if necessary, is used.
