Sir, haven't you seen the 55 reddit threads when RTZ got a rampage vs VG by pressing attack move?

Couldn't see them among all the "OG carry Io" and "Notail vs Fly" threads tbh

I see.
Well, just happens to be that OG is styling on their group right now with picks and play style nobody else is willing to execute. Just wait until they lose a game and the momentum will swing back to praising EG for 10 months after TI.

TBH I am just happy that the game isn't stale. I wasn't prepared for my boys and I am sure the dick measuring contest of "who is the better mid player" slowed down and we see the value of team play again.

Can't believe OG is actually the strongest looking team this TI by a margin.

Imagine if the finals again this time is LGD vs OG like last year. As LGD is actually looking the best in group A even Secret who pulled impossible wins looked vulnerable alot.

I'm mostly just kidding of course, tho I doubt reddit will praise EG xD I'm happy that we got an exciting tournament on our hands, it's just I'm not a fan of OG.

The chances of the finals this year being LGD vs OG again if both teams maintain their dominance in the playoffs is very real.

It would've been lame if those teams have been playing the best pre-TI but they weren't considered the favorite upcoming the TI. Now they top their groups.

I can ride with that. And the last year was a really close b05 so it will feel like grudgematch and this is quite unexpected as neither team really looked like a favorite this year until now.

It feels like Flash and Jaedong all over again which i haven't felt for a long time in dota (which was like Secret and EG around TI5-TI6)

Do I have to remind you of TI6 and TI7 group stages? Don't get too hyped yet.

At least you have a home-team to root for this year. I practically just get hyped on just about anybody at this point as none of my favorite player and the qualifier teams that i want managed to get in.

shrugs

OG broke the east-west curse last year. So who knows that was also a huge odd pattern as well that just kept happening but it ended as well

Alright. Lower bracket it is, boys!
Two days to calm down and get sorted out.
And no matter how we place this tournament, I won't be changing my flair!
