2GD back on the panel, a huge surprise and totally unexpected...after all the negative shit during this TI with the remote panel etc., same is really a pleasant surprise. I also like it that there are basically no long pauses between the series even after a series ended way earlier.

They don't even have soundproof booths at the main event venue that has like 500 seats.
Valve literally just took their hands off the keyboard.
I guess it's better than keeping the game on life support for years, no chance of false hope

RIP LUL

very disappointing

yeah I think they are hoping that dota goes the CS:GO route where they don't have to do anything. I understand, I wouldn't want to plan events if I were a programmer or game designer.

Apparently they have back to back rotating booths so the next teams can prepare when everything else is going on and get ready for the next series

eh, this TI is better than last one and the last chance qualifiers were pretty cool, basically the finals better deliver

I'm not sure yet if the week break will be good or not, it doesn't feel like TI, but I'm willing to see how it plays out. Kinda kills the non-stop action and maybe teams' momentum, on the other hand giving the teams a bit to prepare before the final matches may improve the quality of those games.

I think the meta this TI has been run at each other. This TI is better in format and the games have been unpredictable but not like production

PGL cheapening out. Pretty sure this is the worst TI after like the first one. People have been complaining about PGL for like months now and they managed to outdo people's worst expectations.

It's just so bad it has had so many issues and missing things

Even Shanghai Major had booths to prevent sound lol. We have players reporting that on day 1 they could hear the casters LMAO

The last hope of NA is a language based advantage. Being able to best understand casters. Bias against China is clear!!

Is it suprising that I wouldn't even be that shocked if anyone came up with that theory? It's a bit of a trumpisation of UK pol, anything goes or at least is worth a trial.

I think RTZ should switch to some game like Stardew Valley where he can be a professional farmer without these pesky PvP interruptions to his progress.
