Well that means we have a random SEA team in a major. I personally do not like that since SEA teams are quite bad. But the major's at Manila though, so I guess having 3 SEA makes sense. I'd definitely invite MVP and Fnatic, and leave only ONE qualifier spot to be fought for.
Quick question though. If only one of MVP or fnatic can be invited, who is more deserving of the invite? My vote is for MVP because they won dotapit. fnatic may be on a great streak currently, but it's all against SEA teams. MVP's win at an international event should be rewarded.
On a navi related note, great wins today. In the past, they seem to struggle against CIS teams. But spirit got stomped...

Any of the Pinoy teams which might be good enough to make it out of the qualifier? I mean it'd be a much greater event if the home fans got someone to cheer their hearts out for
|
and no dig its actually a decent team that has been trading blows with good eu teams
so thats something extra too

If only one, MVP for the higher placing and the LAN win.
And yeah, great games vs Spirit and vs Diggity.
Interesting Mirana picks but worked out great.

Well if it would be between MVP or fnatic, the invite would go to MVP for sure. Its exactly as you said, fnatic only stomp bad SEA teams. Sure they beat MVP quite often, but they also didnt win a big lan like MVP...

MVP its kinda the obvious option, sure they imploded in SL, but thats one LAN
fnatic has done nothing bar beating SEA teams, and while they look good, they havent done something impressive like winning a LAN or achieving a GF

Why is Fnatic vs MVP even a discussion?
4th place Shanghai and 1st place DotaPit. That's basically the whole discussion.

I'm just happy to see Navi winning quite a bit :D Everyone seems to have gotten a lot more cohesive and their discipline has impressed me. Maybe the first time they've had a good experience in china. they just need to bootcamp there but not participate in lans tehre (like Alienware cup in 2013) :D

If the patch doens't come out in a couple of days, they've got a pretty solid chance to qualify for DreamLeague and ESL Frankfurt. Was very nice to see them play in SL, hope they can carry it onwards.

Was very nice to see them play in SL, hope they can carry it onwards. They just need 1 game from Dreamleague to qualify right? And the worst that can happen is if they lose 0-2 to both VP and Vega, VP wins 2-0 against Spirit and then NaVi has to tiebreak with No Diggity. Or am i missing something?
Hope they make a good LB run in ESL. I'd love it if they get to go to Frankfurt before TI6

Wooh. No idea how they won game 2. The navi 3 weeks ago would have probably crumbled.

I think the current Navi's is much much more discipline in their play. It could be because of the new batch of players, the old Navi would have had to chain xboct to the ground to prevent him from diving ...

Actually, i think NaVi its already qualified, because at most they go 8-6 which means they tie with ND and i suppose that the tie breaker its head to head, and in that regard NaVi has a 2-0 over ND
And after that theres only 2 teams with less than 6 loses for 3 spots
:D

Did it come across your mind of the possibility that I could have stayed up all this while XD

Thought they might drop a game today and they almost did, but really disciplined and nice play from Na'Vi. As Faruko said DL should be decided. Now just 2 matches to secure ESL spot.

:D They 1-1'd against ND. So wouldn't that make it ND and Navi at 8-6 for tiebreakers for 3rd spot right? I really hope it won't go that way but huge if's if Navi go 0-4 last 2 sets.
In other news, Navi have Team Spirit and VP to try to qualify for ESL Frankfurt . They just 2-0'd TS recently at DreamLeague, so I'm not too worried about them. But VP seems to have Na'Vi's number every time they play (like seriously every iteration seems to beat NaVi).

Oh yeah, they beat ND 2-0 in ESL not DL
