Sea Qualifier Predictions

1st- Scythe Gaming. xFreedom, Miracle, probably the only two big names in the qualifiers that are recognizable to someone not following the scene. Their team is completely different from that which made their successful run in the first TI, yet after F2P I'm sure many are eagerly waiting for their return to the main stage.

2nd- Arrow Gaming. And absolutely seller performance in the joinDota league. But lets be honest. The closet thing to a sea game I've watched in the last couple of months is DK vs Titan

(Will be updated with other random musings)

I'm a fan of self-targetting bus drivers though

Can't wait to see some staying in the trees action.

Scythe probably first, but Arrow isn't much better than the competition so I think 2nd place could be anyone such as Execration or even Mineski

It's either Arrow, RRQ, Scythe, and Orange. MVP.P may pull an upset here and there.

Mineski are a better team than most people realise. Pity they only get their shit together on LAN.

RRQ are really quite good. I really think the Koreans are being overestimated.

American Qualifiers Wrapup - Although the road to getting there was long and suspenseful, the final results of the american qualifiers are somewhat predictable. Liquid has finally found a way to place their players into their positions, a refreshing degree of stability, but they will need much more than that to make it through the playins.

Ultimately I don't feel very confident about the chances of american teams (TL and NAR) in the international stage. But don't take this as a statement of the scene as a whole. There is a bright future for everyone involved, especially the south Americans (hopefully they can pull together a 'dream team' and compete at the highest levels)

I think nar will surprise some people at ti4. Hopefully in a good way.
