I'm not a huge fan of Round Robin setups when there is such a small victory condition, relative to the amount of participants. Though credit to DotaPit for seeding the teams. That allows the likely top 2 in an expected playoff match as the final one. Though, for the American qualifier, Complexity all but has it wrapped up.

E.Wolves & Leviathan are already out (as of this post). Complexity wraps this up with a 2-0 of Slayers/Unknown. Given how terrible Slayers looked, I'm pretty sure this qualifier is in the bag for Complexity.

Still, if an organization is going to run a Round Robin like this, maybe put a small prize pool for 2nd & 3rd. (Say $500 & $250) A little money goes a long ways to making the last matches worthwhile for the teams.

swindle is a funny dude and I'm sure he's a chill bro, but his casting right now is seriously unprofessional as fuck. I understand wanting to be honest and speaking your mind, but you gotta find a euphemistic way to say the things he's saying. Sheesh I'd be worried if I was dota pit about sponsor reactions.

What the fuck is this draft? Clockwerk can't man up for both TInker and Ember spirit.

I think this is the worst unforced error I've seen since KYXY denying aegis.

DC versus Leviathan G2 is the single most heartbreaking TA game I've ever seen. Only her own team's Vengeful Spirit had a lower net worth by the end of the game.

Pretty major series coming up for DC. If they lose here and miss out on Dotapit then I don't see them sticking together as a team.

At the end of the last game, Tobi said they were done for several days. And Alliance should be traveling right now. So I'm guessing the LD calendar is mistaken.

Liwuid really seem to struggle against LD... maybe MC should train him so they can pick him themselves

I haven't watched Liquid in a while and I see them losing against HR. What the hell? They are losing to a tier 3 team. Uh....

It's actually so good to see this stupid Kuro Lifestealer bullshit fail miserably.

This is one of the worst games I have ever seen from Team Liquid. They have no strategy and they are just chasing kills and dying. Wow...

After their poor showing in Starleague, they put up another stinker here. Are they not practicing? They seems to be regressing in skill and strategy.

top4 = "poor showing" TIL again

3rd-4th at SL is a poor showing?

And are you not noticing that this is a Kuroky Lifestealer and Matumba Tinker game? They're pissing about. Er. . .I mean, "testing strats".
