If you are buying the pennants for items only then you are doing it wrong :p

If you want TI2 items then go play games and win TI chests, its the same items and much higher chance.
The pennants are there to show support for a team!

Yeah, but the items you get from spectating are super special immortal uniques. With timestamp and link to the replay.

yes, that will pump the price. Imagine its a grand final and the most epic moment such as dendi hook. Each of these items are unique and there is only 1 for each moment. 500-700$ is nothing for a collector tbh. Hell a stormshield that was not even perfect stat, not unique in D3 could sell for 250$, these are UNIQUE and only 1 exists. I could imagine some X-mas charity auction price range that could reach 1k.

The only problem right now is that if you wana farm these items, you have to choose a good game(lot of kill and action) while there are not a lot of people watching(increase your chance). Something like Mouz or M5 or CLG could be your best hope.

As i said: huge lottery. You have to be incredibly lucky and when you got 1, you probably dont even wana sell it ever(unless charity or quit gaming). I wish valve imprint the item "founder" on the item so they would be sold much easier :-/

You probably can even sell it to the players/organizations himself. Just like some fan collected Derek Jeter's homerun ball some time ago and gave it back to the Yankees. In return, he was given multiple valuable memorabilia.

Say a Burning Rampage Courier that seals TI2. I would imagine DK or Burning would be willing to pay a hefty sum for that. After all, what is $1000 when u just won $1million.

I swear, if i got anything, i would put it(at least the first 1) up for charity... and its not Sayuri type of charity, a legit one it is. I just want the price to be HIGH while its for a good cause, pretty much win-win situation.

As i said, when you think of this system valve implemented, you gona hate it at first bc you probably not gona win the lottery but its so clever that it boosts up the price point by thousand times. So instead of trading a thousand items for other virtual items that cost next to nothing, now you trade 1 for A LOT of money.

Zenith is weird, they played perfectly against DK's Naga Siren's Sleep setup, great spacing, great timing, effectively picking off Zippo's SD before sleep ends. Then they play like retards the match afterwards.

Navi is like #lost. Everything is slightly mistimed, playing like a pub team instead of a pro team, almost no communication, slow rotations, engaging before critical heroes have their level 6s.
Get it by your hands...
