Spirit from Ad Finem, sad days for the middle kingdom

Invited teams failed the following shuffle or are affected by the TI curse, the two teams which actually qualified have visa issues and the one team which almost qualified has yet to lose a map. It could have looked a lot different without the visa issues.

We all have different preferences. I really like when games go later, and games that or single or dual core... And we've been getting more of that than in the last year (before that there was a lot of 4 protect 1 though).

I think we're in a pretty good place all things considered. Honestly, the change that I would be most eager to make is giving rax twice as much effective health, and buffing towers by like 10% in damage and hp.

Same here. Happy to see NP not choke and AF make it through. Otherwise it feels like any other tournament so far.
I enjoyed The Summit more but we still have a ton of great matches so I'm holding out hope (for NP).

I agree. My advice from improvement would be making two groups of 8, doing a bo1 or bo2 round robin, and 1st in group plays 8th in other group, etc. Then do the single elim bracket.

maybe single eli is the real catalyst here. less volatile play = spam illusions lol

I just think on team fight at 20-25 minutes often decides the game, and I would prefer it to require a little bit more to break high ground. Nowadays when you look at something like that Alch pushing those rax, it just breaks base too quickly. Like you can almost just BKB and kill everything before the enemy can ward you off.

How you deal with it, determines the outcome of this catalyst. More versatile strategies is for better opponents.

Yeah people are quick to forget truely terrible heroes, ok SD allows to siege safely and it denies what is supposed to be THE fight of the game : the highground defense. But he's far from being as annoying as many heroes were when they were top pick imo. I'm dreaming of a dota without radiance on illusions though.
