IRC chatter should remain in IRC - http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=tl.dota2

Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

Anyone else feel that - while the results are really even on paper - the games themselves aren't as close. I'm not sure if this game just favors too much snowballing or if teams are just really that inconsistent. What are you're thoughts?

Simple question : what is the point of The International 3 lower bracket if only the top 8 receive the prizepool?

Thanks for any insight! It must probably have been answered a million times anyways, but I couldn't find anything

Edit : OK, I am an idiot, it seems that it is a double elim tournament where being top 8 in the prelims means that you can lose once, and being lower 16 means that you can never lose or you are eliminated immediately

Nothing stops teams in the lower bracket to win games and reach a top 8 position and a team in the upper bracket can still lose 2 series in a row and not get any money.

Not sure what you really mean.

Because you can get to the top 8 from the lower bracket?

Who wouldn't rather watch morph? What a hero.

At least it's weaver rather than tree in every game, though.

To be more precise about the (4) of xboct, it's his rating as a carry. While Na'Vi received 8-10 on all other criteria, that's what they gave him.

Who made that shitty rating?
Edit: Nvm read further up that it was BTS. What the shit.


Afaik what happened was that they first they gave the rating in comparison to the other carries in that tournament, and since Burning and the others are so good they gave Xboct a terrible rating

Yeh 2GD came on the show and criticized their ratings hexagons because he felt that there should be a spread and not every stat should be >7 - according to him you can only have 10's if you also have 1's. So they went and tried to compensate (i.e. Na'Vi gets a 4 for their carry, DK gets like a 2 or a 1 for creativity) and they get flamed. They have since stopped using hexagons
I told them to stop fucking with the hexagons and taking them so seriously.

Now we have no more hexagons. First GDStudio ruined twitch chat and now they take away our hexagon.


Haha, pretty much. Bruno made such a big deal of shitting on the hexagons during one of our first Alienware Cup broadcasts that they were kinda ruined in the court of public opinion already if we didn't change them.

I knew the proposed 'ranking' system was an idiotic idea that would only incite rage and flame and didn't even make sense in the context of the hexagons (which are visual 'ratings', not rankings). I told them all as much on air, but it was either change them or scrap them after that broadcast,

We'll come up with something cool / new after TI3 though, don't worry... still lots of ideas, just need to time to implement 'em

Do octagons ranking teams by their ability to perform household chores.

I only have 47 views and that's purely from DotA TV surfing the past two days. Had Multi-twitch on and unlinked twitch account on my laptop to catch the other games.

You can raise it even more just by watching the highlights of the games you missed including the Eastern & Western qualifiers.

The team pages on the official site have been updated with a small bio and pictures. Have to say - these are 10 times better than last year. Last year, most teams looked like a bunch of airhead aliens.

what happened to the chat room in game functionality? You used to be able to still see guild or other chat tabs while playing a game but now it's only usable for spectating.

You don't need to watch higlights. You click "watch the replay" -> game loads -> drag the replay timer to the last 3-5 seconds -> game counts as viewed and it only takes 30seconds to watch a single replay. Works for Games Viewed grinding.
