Optic on a tear qualifying for DAC, The Bucharest Major, and ESL Katowice! I'm still a little skeptical how they are gonna stack up now that they are in. But let's see if the Bear Jew is right and the mighty PPD can turn salt into gold!
Gotta start beating EG. Didn't catch the games, what's the problem? Players are skilled, is it teamwork, drafts, etc?

Anyone know why 7Mad is standing in for Reso in the Mars TV qualis?
edit: wrong thread...

Whoops, my bad.

Solid games from Optic today. I feel confident that they can take down Mineski, haven't watched too many Mineski games but I think optic matches up pretty evenly in every lane. Hopefully Optic has a draft advantage, and can close out the series.
|
I think so too! They have been playing really well against the Eastern teams, although they went 1-1 against the other SEA team in group stages. And I liked PPD's interview just saying he was thankful to be on the other side of the bracket from Virtus Plow.
Build that Green Wall! Go Optic!

They got the easiest opponents in the breakout, and avoiding VP. Great bracket luck so far, backed by credible performance. Dark horses.
|
I just can't properly get behind Optic for some reason.
ccnc still seems to have major anger issues.
I was warming up to them, but then watched ccnc stream the other day and he was bitching hard and rage quitting the game and stream later on - not a big fan of that.

Depends which Mineski shows up. They've been pretty bad until recently, then they just found some form. If good Mineski shows up, it's probably 50/50. If bad Mineski shows up, Optic could stomp them. Just don't give Iceiceice Pango.
Optic does have a real path to the Top 3, which should be fun. ppd is more limited with this Optic lineup than in past EG lineups, but he's found a lot of ways to make things work. Main thing going forward is they are away from the Western captains. The Late Game Vision Meta between ppd & puppey is something else, but you see it also with Kuroky & Fly. Those 4 can turn games in the late game by extremely potent warding, which they work really hard to do.

Does Optic have a coach right now? As NP made that entire game 1 work, and ppd let it through again. Jabz is key to making the rotation speed work, and Optic couldn't do anything about it. It was just a bad draft strategy for game 2 that cost them.
Game 1 was "okay, that works really well", but they need to adjust better. And opening Sand King against the top-tier teams isn't going to work as well.

to be fair i think both optic and mineski are on the same tier currently. sometimes they play amazing and sometimes they get dumpstered. it's what separating them from the real top tiers - consistency

The Optic boys bring home a win in Starladder! Even though they weren't against the best of the best, they outplayed the opposition. I think a win here helps to establish themselves as a solid contender as a team that's so close to breaking into the upper echelons of Dota teams out there. And they got to strike back against SEA Dota as they beat Fnatic in the semifinals. Pretty Solid play throughout the tournament and with good drafting from PPD, I think the future is looking bright for the #Green Wall!

Congrats to Optic, hopefully they don't get destroyed by bracket issues and make it to TI.

Pajkatt played like a beast. Congratulations on the win at Starladder!

Tbh they were expected to win. The only two threats from that tournament was VG.J on a slump since a few tournaments then we have fnatic who had Adam as 4 instead of DJ . And adam is actually pretty bad at playing (going into lina solo under the tower as naga ROFL)

How long ago did 33 and zai swap roles?

Definitely in DAC, can't remember if in Bucharest too, but I don't think so. Haven't really been paying much attention to the qualifiers.

Awesome to see optic take the win!
|
As much as i don't like ppd after kicking aui from EG after winning TI, i do respect the guy as he just proved (again) that he is one of the best captains in dota.
Congrats to Optic, but the story of the tournament is called 33. Im a fan already.Same goes for Zayatc from Vega, they got top 4, but that guy has s big future. Can't wait to see how things playout.
