congratulations to liquid, well deserved

Really good production outside of the sound issue and the loud music between the games. Animations were fun and games were good.

Yep, very well run tournament!

There were a few pauses that seemed a bit long, but that was maybe compounded by the fact that it was 3am here and I just wanted to watch some games.

Production quality wise it was very good though, even with the possible couple small mistakes, much better than most of what we see, and I particularly enjoyed how they just didn't go to break, but they actually gave a a panel to listen to... Definitely seemed like a tough job to be an analyst at this tournament since it felt like they had to talk 20-30 minutes between games, I would definitely be out of things to say.

I also really appreciate when they give the viewers a timer for when the next game will be, as I hate when they say "a little while" and here I am thinking 5-10 minutes, but it ends up being 45-90 minutes instead. I have no issue (or a way smaller issue), if the wait is long, but at least I'm informed what the wait will be, so I like that they did a bit of that. Good job Russia

No mention of Jerax on ES. Reading what others wrote it was all that was talked about after the Final.

I don't know if it deserves all that much focus. He played three games on it - one excellent, one pretty good, one bad.

I think it's just that the excellent game was the last one, so it's fresh in the mind for folks.


Actually, Jerax is arguably one of the best Earth Spirit player in the world for such a long time, alongside Kaka. Both of them played ES on another level.

Super happy for Liquid, they finally did it and they definitely deserved it. The tournament overall was very entertaining and it was refreshing to see everything run on time.

Secret and EG were definitely disappointing but the finalists showed us some beautiful Dota to compensate.

I think my only complain about the tournament is the lack of crowd audio feedback. Not sure if the russian stream had it but the english stream certainly did not. That would have added to the enjoyment.

They took some money into their hands to make this quality happen for sure, but the lack of crowd audio was a bit sad because it felt like there was no crowd.

All in all a very entertaining tournament.

Btw is there a gallery for those classic art dota conversion things? The pictures looked pretty awesome!

Congratz Liquid for getting that win.

Did every match almost start on time? As in no stupid delays? I think that itself makes this tournament my favourite.

I was pretty worried after game 3, all prepared for reverse 3-0 sweep from Newbee but our boys went and did it in the end.

Lone Druid just wasn't working in game 2/3 even though he got a timely Radiance in both, glad they tried something else.

pretty much, yeah. biggest plus was the timer they added between the games was always accurate. between the games they didnt say "soon" but that the show will continue in 35 minutes an 41 seconds. then 35 minutes and 41 seconds later the pre match analysis started for a few minutes before the actual game went live.
was super easy to follow this 4 day up to 12h a day long tournament and still get stuff done.

also only 3 bo3 a day. one day (the first i think) they had 3 extremely long 3 game series and they could still finish it on time because their scheduling wasnt done by some idiot who cant read statistics. despite the sound issues, according to reddit were an unsolvable equipment malfunction, best run tournament so far. better than all past TIs honestly.

Talking about Jerax's ES and Tusk plays is like mentioning that Shaq is very large

Amazing run by liquid , i thought they are going to crumble once Newbee took the 2-1 lead , but they held it togther like champs.
Also on the EPICENTER bandwagon , they were amazing !!! the players seemed to enjoy the stay as well which is always nice to hear.
