I'm not completely up to date about this tournament, but as it is apparently an offline event: Does this mean NaVi will travel to china between the end of their TI5 qualifiers and the start of this tournament, or have they even been playing their TI5 qualifiers from china?
so navi makes it through the qualifier grind, flies to china the next day and starts playing the group after (for a full 8 hour day at least)?
dunno what that other guy meant by "a few days between" there literally isn't
honestly navi has a bad chance just because they're going to be tired as hell. forget the gauntlet they just ran, they're going to be exhausted as hell playing in the wrong timezone with no time to adjust.
i have to imagine secret/empire/c9 are already in china?

Yeah, they all arrived 1-3 days ago afaik. Probably C9 first since they're super fussy about that kinda stuff.
Na'Vi is pretty unpredictable; almost anything can happen. I sure as hell wasn't expecting them to make it out of the EU qualifier that comfortably after the LC match.

Actually if you start matching them with teams like Secret or EG who actually don't let mistakes go unpunished you will see how it looks like when the TI contender teams hold an advantage and squeeze the map.
that was the qualifiers mate the quality of teams there didn't know how to punish mistakes .. if you've seen the summit 3 you'll know what i mean

That's fair, I guess I wasn't considering the calibre of opponents.

although with the boost of confidence they are having right now for winning the qualifiers .. i think it would not be a surprise if they upset some favorite since they have a good momentum now
