Excited for this major, should be hype af
|
Ok, I'm hype too. But have to say, just tuned in, and I don't like the production! Mainchannel the game is not fullscreen, but like 2/3 (and the very top is cut off) and the "normal desk" is just talking about stuff and not really the game... (they right now talk about Meepo... not in the game...) Second channel is currently offline. And before it was without any commentary. Third channel is working, as intended. But... the titel says "Spirit vs. TSM" but it is the Execration-Tundra game. That should be on the .. Forth channel, that is currently offline. But just a minute ago, showed the same game!
Not impressed for now!

Not sure about the best options, but the Dota2 reddit at least has the game schedule, but for some reason lacks all of the stream links. The liquepdia page has links to all of the current games.
|
Didn't manage to watch that much... Any recommendation of games to check out the VODs?
For me: The Talon-GG games were quite entertaining! Quite long, but that is part of the fun there
|
Nisha on Pango feels odd. He has good impact but misses half his swashbuckles.
|
Yeah was he missing those on purpose lol, even on the rosh
|
Liquids picks in this last series are a bit different. Trying out drafts since they are locked in for first place. Venge + Arc 1+2.
A bit sad over the end of group A. Were like 10 scenarios for tiebreakers and none occurred.

True eg in upper bracket is nice to see

I started to write a post about how close group A is/was and that we will get tiebreakers. ... and lucky for me, I didn't finish it; would have looked foolish now 
|
Shopify vs Spirit and the loser vs PSG
god damn, what a blood bath.
|
There is no "Playoff-Bracket-Contest" but here are my predictions anyway:
GG 2:1 Aster Entity 1:2 EG TS 2:0 SR Liquid 2:0 Talon
|
I am sad. Tournament has been running for 7 hours now. We have had 1.5h in-game time, to be nice 2h including drafts.
First it seems the starting time was off 1h in liquipedia. Then it started 1h late for reasons(?) and every single game has been slow to get started and has had technical issues.
If this is another fast 2-0 they might only be 2,5 hours behind schedule. Which isn't the worst I've seen in a dota tournament, though normally it is due to 3 game series so there is a lot of content.
|
that fucking rtz rosh steal
edit: did it twice i mean ult turnaround
|
Damn that was a fun game to watch.
|
Just got up for work. They start the last game? It is Midnight in Lima! Man they are having technical difficulties...
|
Nice. I went to bed as normal since I kind of gave up on things. Liquid vs Talon on now.
I remember one Stockholm tournament also going after midnight and me missing the last train home. Though not as late as this. :D
|
Man EG game would have been at perfect time with the delay for me lol, but had to work late :/ happy to see rtz and co won anyhow
Can catch a bit of the liquid game anyhow
|
EG with the same drafts in games 2,3 is always a bit worrying for the rest of the tournament, hopefully they can pull off a few more lineups
|
~6h of ingame time in 16h. The 16h time happens very rarely and only then in 4 series of BO3 where all go long. Hopefully they can sort things out.
Liquid played solid. Talon had strong early game but just couldn't keep up in midgame. Feels like they had a hard time doing pickoffs both games.

|
That Rosh steal by RTZ was a thing of beauty.
|
Did the game start 25 minutes early today? Or 35 minutes late?
|
Classical no tower hitter game. Ursa high ground is risky and Eidelons that explode is only other good tower hitter. So extends until lead is large enough they can kill them in tier 4.
|
The delays... 1h between series. Guess I'll miss the second series of the day.
Happy I get to see this first game. Brawl game, very rare nowadays.
|
Lost of issues, but soundtrack is not one of them.
Such good music

And thought the 4. series is also played yesterday... have to add the UB now: GG 2:1 Entity SR 0:2 Liquid
Also about the "soundtrack": Yeah, as a Salsa dancer I support the music!

Don't see the point of the last pick silencer in that game. Wouldn't be a game I wanted to play it in at all.
|
Liquid looking solid as can be this Major.
|
Nisha lost mid to Abed in both games. Doesn't mean you win the games though, Liquid getting a win in the second game was surprising after the start they got.

That second game win from TL looked like some black magic. We really should not have won that one lol
|
I went to bed after game one and just saw the 2:0 and thought "oh yeah, no problem there". Then watched the VOD! Man, that was a comeback! Incredible teamfighting! Not sure if GG can stop them ... or any other team!
Back to my predictions: Finally got a day nearly completely correct (Entitiy should have one a map ) 4.5/10
Next games: Talon 1:2 Spirit EG 2:1 Aster GG 1:2 Liquid
// Oh, there is the first Match, where I don't know who it is... EG 2:1 EG

We will see who is the true evil genius

Good prediction there. I was very pessimistic with the draft from EG but bat and clock carried that game.
|
No Chinese team in top 8
Maybe first SA team in top 4
|
|
|
China performance is so bad, that they got last spot in both group and none of them qualified for best of 6. They should not have so many slots in next Major. Ehome and Knight imported players are actually tie 2 players in their original country, I can't imagine how bad is China dota 2 level now.
SEA remaining team Talon, none of them are Filipino, though they occupied most players from SEA, but exited early too.
|
|
Yay! Love to see SR beat EG. That turnaround fight in g3 was amazing.
|
I play 2 games and my brain is mush..can't imagine playing 6, in front of the home crowd, in that energetic environment. My ADHD could never
|
looks like arturito was the evil genius in the end

|
also boxi out for a health emergency - gonna be a blow for liquid
I hope we see quinn vs rtz finals
|
That sounds not nice for Boxi All the best for you and you loved ones!
I hope Liquid can somehow still keep their power.

|
Boxi was at the hospital overnight and flying back today?
|
Oh, have to predict results: Entity 2:1 Talon GG 1:2 Liquid (I hope they can do it without Boxi...) Entity 1:2 SR

I don't think you can take away a slot like this during the middle of the season; if anything I'd actually like to see no regions lose slots and for SA and NA to both get 3 so we have a 4/4/3/3/3/3 split. I think it's pretty clear that SA deserves 3 and NA really should get a 3rd slot for fairness.
Today's predictions:
Talon 2:1 Entity GG 2:1 Liquid SR 2:0 Talon

So last predictions: Talon 2:1 Liquid GG 3:1 Talon
|
Not sure Liquid can even take one game based on how their series yesterday went. :/
|
|
Perfect prediction by me. :D
|
I am not a fan of Nisha Pango. Though he did what was expected from him. Initiated and tanked BKBs. Then poked from the outside of the fight.
Just misses so many swashbuckles in the early-mid game.
|
Ok, I predicted wrong, but I'm happy! :D
|
We already have TI winner Sneyking so let's get Major winner Quinn

Quinn went 5-0 against Nisha mid. Very impressive work, partly due to missing 4 on Liquid but that isn't enough for all games.
|
At least in the Grand Finals, the matchups were quite bad for Nisha or the heros were just bad (was there a map at the tournament that a Kunkka won? And AA Mid... yeah, sure...) But Quinn played very well anyway 
After the first day and technical problems all over the place, it got to be a nice tournament! The budget cosplay contest was quite fun! Sad that the BKB didn't win that
