I agree. Those games were one sided but if you want to see Morph/Invoker/AA played perfectly then you have to watch.

So no Tobi for the WB again -.-?

He best be casting the finals on sunday else I will be really .

He must have really hacked off Valve somehow. He is easily the biggest caster dota has maybe not the most informative but the energy and play by play commentary is unrivaled. He could so easily have syndren cast with him now too...

i think a surprise so far is M5 kind of showing that tongfu isn't as dominant as people think

I can see EG getting through them tomorrow

No one thought Tongfu were dominant really.


I was going with the whole "herp derp chinese team too stronk" mentality which a lot of people on TL seem to have -.-


That really only applies to iG and LGD. They are too stronk and everyone at the tournament admits it, even Puppey.


Won't stop Puppey from doing well vs. iG tomorrow, I imagine. He's just being humble.

But yeah:

On Day 1: ZOMG all the Chinese teams are gonna stomp us

Day 2: Hmm it's only LGD iG and DK that are gonna stomp us

Day 3: Hmm it's only LGD iG that are gonna stomp us

I see a trend here.



Hao being a bitch and throwing games is why Tongfu plays so bad for the most part. Still, they have come out ahead in their loser bracket match.

EHOME is a relatively new team with the least experience out of everyone.


Na'VI was and probably basically still is the only team that has a realistic chance (even if small) against the top 3 Chinese teams in the tournament. This was stated by everyone that knows anything about DotA. That being said, against IG they are heavy underdogs, because IG isn't going to make the same mistakes as DK did today which allowed Na'vi to win (IG for ex isn't going to donate a free game based on idiotic lane setups).

Pretty much all the other EU/NA teams are getting roflstomped for the most part. EG put up some really good games today, but that was EG actually playing up to their potential for once, and that team is alot more talented than people give them credit for (Maelk, Fear, Demon, Bulba all extremely talented at their positions and Universe very good support player). Not to mention, alot of people forget that EG probably has the most experience against the Chinese teams outside of Na'vi (and to be honest, they probably have more relevant experience than Na'vi) since EG was sent to compete in G-League S3 I believe, so they actually have pretty good knowledge of the Chinese metagame.

Couple that with a highly talented team when not raging, it's not that big of a surprise that EG actually put up some very competitive games. That being said, it's a "surprise" to alot of people because usually both Fear and Demon rage out in the middle of games most of the time when frustrated and just throw really hard.


Hmmm iG did give game 2 away to EG due to bad lanes. They lost mid so hard it wasnt even funny.

iG look mortal though. I hope they make it through but...everything is back to being unpredictable.

I am not really sure he can get Synderen to cast with him.
Synderen got no contract with valve for casting and valve properly already got another caster lined up for toby

I know but there is still a possibility. Still really dissapointed to see the lack of tobi.

And wtf is going on with mTw sure I've always thought syderen wasn't the best of solo mids but he was an amazing captain and drafter. And now bckingmad has taken over drafting/captain wtf. They just fell apart. I really hope Synderen can pick up a good team after this.

They are not released yet in form of ordered and cut VoDs, you can find them on twitch though if you can be bothered to search through the recording of the entire day.

they are well at least for WB, didn't watch LB matches

Valve are properly a bit disappointed that he decided to not follow their schedule during the prelims and wanted to cast another game. I think its good that Valve aren't favoring Tobi and showing some love for the other casters.

I think that Tobi has handled the entire situation poorly. Both from the drama concerning the prelims and now he whines that he "only" gets to cast 4 lower bracket games (while the other caster combos get a BO3 each). He surely can't expect to get all winner bracket+finals?

I imagine hes used to just casting everything because thats what he has done pretty much every tournament hes ever cast. I understand splitting up the games like that but it doesn't make much sense to give him the lowest profile games (imo) and times realllllyyy bad for the europeans to watch, when he is most of the time casting for europeans (well times favouring us).

Tobi just seems to get really irritable (off-stream) about anything that gets in the way of him doing his work as he wants to do it. A ton of people, and definitely casters, get like that but Tobi needs to work on not letting it leak into passive-agressive tweets.
I can't sing and I can't dance, but still I know how to clap my hands.
