Wings is a complete coinflip this tournament but OG is going to be difficult to take games of the way they are playing. They needed to atleast split the Alliance and EG games to feel comfortable. | ||

Upset that they never needed to do that in the first place. The top push without Drow BKB etc should never had happened. Well we kept our chances to going to the upper bracket alive by a thread. So many missed opportunties and points in previous series. That said, we need to win out, which will be tough, and hope for some luck, seven points might do it, but 8 is preferrable. Tough draw tomorrow, but let's hope the better drafting carries over. Artstyle has been playing very, very well, he's not the weak link. I just feel we've been getting outdrafted in a lot of the losses. | ||

In real sports, you have a bad day, you have more or less a full week to recover phisically AND mentally. Ive never been a fan of these, i completely understand the reasons for esports tournaments to be like this and i would do it the same way, i just dont "like it" and i just dont feel comfortable with Especially considering how (by nature) random is the dota 2 scene, 2 weeks ago, EG was super shitty, now they are top, maybe next week they lose the UB round 1 and the next day some bad luck strucks and gg, out of TI, thanks for participate | ||

We just need to 2-0 wings which is very possible. Then hope for eg to 2-0 wings as well. Lastly we need escape to just take 1 game off tnc, and hopefully they cab do it with some qojqva LD shenanigans. It leaves us tied 6-6 with tnc, and a good chance of beating them in the tiebreaker. Lots of things need to go in our favour though. Or we could just go 4-0 today and everything's settled  [Edit] Oops. Not looking good. Thought wings were playing eg. They're playing LGD. Hmmm [Edit 2] OK. 2-0 isn't enough. We really need games off OG to have a chance. Realistically we should aim for 5th spot so as to decide our bo1 opponents. The losses to both tnc (thrown) and escape (stupid outdraft) were so punishing. [Edit 3] Could always do 4 way tiebreakers between LGD wings and navi and tnc lol. All finishing 6-8. | ||

But Na'Vi really needs to go 4-0 on the day if they want to make Upper. | ||

But Na'Vi really needs to go 4-0 on the day if they want to make Upper. Yep, need that 4-0, even 3-1 might not be enough. Going to be tough, but I'm going to keep rooting for them. | ||

Hoping for better drafts from Sonneiko (not picking offlane 1st!) and better play from Ditya. General had an off day yesterday, he also needs to step it up. | ||

Heck, most viewers don't even like the whole 4 streams at a time thing either. Easy enough to space the groups out over a few days longer. | ||

When I start flaming them in my head (LGD game 2), they surprise me! So fuck navi Funny you should say that, yesterday I cursed the hell out of them during the 2nd game with LGD and they won. Fuck NaVi. | ||

I agree completely, they could easily do 1 extra day and have it more spaced, honestly it should be 5. Teams would probably accept too, just do 2-2-2-1 with a rest day in between day 2 and day 3, start monday, end friday. Valve could even use that rest day to do interviews, more analysis, etc... TI is hype but i still think in terms of overall preparation esports are super awful when it comes to organization and what not | ||
