In a YouTube video posted by “dota2” it shows Jake Kanner (SirActionSlacks) coaching Kaci Aitchison (Kaci) as she plays Dota 2. Kaci has recently announced that she is pregnant and the baby is “Due This Fall”.

Kaci Aitchison is a Dota 2 backstage host and interviewer during The International, she joined in 2013. During The International 2013, the fact that Kaci did not play Dota 2 or have any knowledge of the game caused some people in the Dota 2 Community to question if she was the right choice for a Dota 2 game host.

Before The International 2013, Valve Corporation, who host the event every year were holding auditions for a new TI host. Kaci’s agent notified her so she decided to audition and take part in the trials. She was successful in the auditions and got the job, however, she wasn’t heavily into playing games and had no knowledge of the MOBA game Dota2 or its community.

The only games she played were games like Tomb Raider, Minesweeper and Super Smash Mario Bros. This led people in the Dota 2 community to remain unsure about whether she was the correct person to have in a gaming environment. It was later revealed that Valve Corporation did not require someone with Dota 2 knowledge to be eligible for the backstage host audition and since 2013 Kaci has attended and hosted at The International every year with her humour and charisma, she is now widely accepted among the Dota2 community.

Kaci became well known for her two funny and awkward interviews that took place at The International 2013 tournament. The first interview was with a Team Liquid fan who was dressed up in a blue horse mask when Kaci decided to place the microphone inside the mouth of the fan's mask and the second interview involved Kaci mistakenly interviewing GrandGrant as iceiceice.

What is Lorem Ipsum?It's time for them to learn their place. Reina storms the King of Iron Fist Tournament in #TEKKEN8  Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.     Why do we use it?It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).Where does it come from?Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.Where can I get some?There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised
