At the moment I'm going with: iG, LGD, DK, Zenith, Orange, coL, TF, and Ehome, though I think mTw, Na'Vi, and CLG are also in the running for the bottom 2 of that top 8, but it's not looking great for Na'Vi. | ||

Like, I understood why they were doing it, but it just did not seem very strong (as if LGD was at the advantage from the get-go). Al kept getting kills on veno which does not really do a whole lot (since it is veno... who always dies). Yao has done such a good job, and Rubrick getting the hook was hilarious. No offense to AL, but LGD was just a step ahead. Their drafting was so, so strong. I mean, not one of their heroes really ever had the potential to be useless - every single one of them are incredibly strong at any given point in the game. And well ... They won every lane, which ... yea, I guess LGD is just too strong. | ||

AM and rubbick aren't that good low level while enigma constantly denies creeps so it stays near there tower. They even had help from furion which hurt him a lot more than help. LGD just so much better than AL. | ||

A morphling dives ur tier 3 for a kill, then kills ur DS next to your tier 2 while walking out it felt like a standard rage "omg fuck this game euro gg", but they they considered where they were and what tournament they were in and what state the game was at and just went with it | ||

I agree - tide/pudge/enigma should do amazingly, but even if all the that kill potential, how are they ever gonna kill AM? Unless they catch him, and he blinks into a hook, they simply won't kill him! And the only "real" pressure he can take will be from enigma, since if pudge/tide tries to be too agressive, they'll be harassed too heavily by veno, imo. It was a strong trilane, but I still think that LGD even had the edge there. The biggest problem - as you correctly pointed out, was the enigma deny, but even then ... | ||

They may look vulnerable at points, they may even drop a game. But in terms of their ability to reliably perform, they're just insanely far ahead of every other team. | ||

I'm not a regular follower of the dota competitive scene so this is news to me. there were a lot of teams were formed just to hunt the 1mil prize pool of TI2. Like VP or darer or even mouz to an extend, if things dont work out for them this TI2, some sort of disband, reform are totally possible. Mouz for sure will be rebuild as CWM cant get US visa and other players perform way too low compare to singsing, kuroky level. We could even see they keeping bamboo and force him to run hard support. | ||

Given what we saw in G-League and ACE, iG > LGD, iG > DK is the normal outcome of that match. But, was LGD practicing for Dota 2 and that's why they lost? But before that LGD beat iG 2-1 as well a while back. Honestly I think it could go either way if they meet in the playoffs, but I don't give DK much of a shot. Their supports are way below the LGD/iG supports. | ||

Yeah, it did not feel like there was a good chance of stopping Am (which is one of the reasons why I hate the hero in tournaments as of late). With with enigmas stun, Am can get away so quickly. Furion's response times felt incredibly slow during the match. When they were fighting, Furion tp'd after the fight was for the most part, finished. It just felt like he was always 10-20 seconds late with helping the team. | ||

I haven't followed the Dota 2 scene too closely, although it does quite interest me, and I'm completely blown away by those two so far; especially LGD. I honestly don't see anyone else have a good shot at the finals right now. Maybe DK? I don't know. | ||

 . Black, 1437 and sing seem to play fairly consistently good but that G2 just exemplified mouz. | ||
