The other thing to keep in mind is that they have to worry about the serving being able to manage large amounts of people. Otherwise it blows up, similar to Diablo III maybe?

That early access bundle comes with 2 sets of items and a courier that aren't discounted as they are on the store. So you're about paying 17.50 for a beta key and the rest in items.

They shouldn't. MUFC is a good team and for distribution purpose, another SEA team was expected. I thought they would go for another Chinese team, but M5 at the time seemed like a good choice. M5 is still a good pick These teams were already determined for some time I think. I knew that was going to receive the invite before they announced it and before the players themselves knew about it.

I feel that the m5 invite is fine, but to invite mufc seems a bit off considering there is already a malay team invited.

Nah man MUFC is fucking amazing. I am happy they got an invite, they are super strong atm. Wildcard looks so awesome. Lets go Quantic! Fucking Mikey is going to pwn that shit.

I think many people are forgetting the crux of the tournament, mainly to bring good teams from both east and west together so that lag and delay would be removed from the equation leading to an objective measure of which is the best team.

Looking at the invites, I think with only 1 or 2 exceptions (and these exceptions can only be of a personal opinion), most of the invites are rather sound. I cannot see how anyone can objectively say that this team or that team should have been invited instead of another team.

I personally think Quantic with their new lineup should be invited but at least they have a shot through wild cards. Also Next.kz with their insane dedication to dota 2 despite not having a sponsor etc.

Feel like both wild cards should go to teams from the west qualifier...maybe drop Keita/znation and add any two of Mineski/Duskbin/Mith.Trust

Kinda meh on M5, but it's not that awful. Hopefully Quantic can pull through the qualifiers, but they'll have to bring their A-game ofc. East teams I'm not that familiar with. Predictions or comments on them, anyone?
So zen.

"Valve will also be enabling Dota TV for these matches(TI2 qualifiers), meaning that anyone with access to the Dota 2 client can spectate the games live through the client and potentially stream/broadcast it for themselves, if they so wish."

this makes me so happy

Does Valve take a cut from tournament broadcasts like Blizzard does? Or are they also way too cool for that?

looking into the eastern qualifier:
Tier 1: MithTrust AEON Tongfu
Tier 2: Mineski WE Duskbin
Tier 3: the rest

Thoughts: MithTrust is a familiar name here. They had pretty decent result in the last international and remain one of the strongest team in the eastern scene atm. If icefrog didnt invite iG/LGD for marketing reason, MiTHtrust definitely would get an invite spot instead of having play through qualifier. 1-0 AL in one of their latest game, the team should have the highest seed among all in this tourney. This also applied to AEON as well, being overshadow by Zenith and Orange, their wins over DK and AL a week ago simply proves that Sing-Malay is still one of the best source of quality dota player in the world. Much to expect from this legend team tag. Tongfu isnt a big name in the current dota2 scene but they are a force to be reckon with in the dota1 chinese scene. Given this chance to grab 1 million dollars, who know how much they would invest into practicing for this. The rest of the teams including WE and a bunch of Pinoy dota represent has not shown much result in dota2 yet. There are still hope and a giant fan base behind each team but the chance are slim.

my pick who will win: MithTrust

Western:
Tier1: Mouz mTw
Tier2: Next.Kz VP Quantic
Tier3: the rest

Thought on western: Even though im deviding teams out of tiers, they are all pretty close in term of skill level. Top spot for Mouz and mTw simply bc of their recent success vs seeded TI2 teams. Mouz and Keita are quite even in term of skill level but notice how mouz line up just recently went through some SICK changes and they still manage to pull off such result. They also will be playing this qualifier in a LAN environment (they have a boot camp on 6th) so ranking top should not be questioned. mTw also has some SICK win recently and their line up seems stronger than ever. Notice how Synderen has stopped his streaming for the past month in order to hide their strats. The only weakness they are currently have is their play style is quite aggressive with focus on some strong solo mid control heroes such as QoP, Invoker or NS. This will give them a hard time going against some good turtle farmer chinese style (which is seen in teams like NextKZ). NextKZ, quantic and VP are all quite unstable in their game atm. Out of the 3 teams i would rank Quantic the highest but since they are an US based team, sever will be the deciding factor.

Predict who will win: mTw or Keita, quite a tough choice but i will go with mTw for the most part.
