Do people want LR-type posts or should we be keeping that out of here?
I'm gonna watch Alliance v iG before I do some errands this afternoon.

I can't imagine LR posts being any worse then klk posts, so go ahead.

Go for it Wave, I'd be curious to see how you'd describe a DotA game, and I won't be able to watch for a good 15-20 minutes.

lol well I'm not going to post THAT often and I'll try to keep it somewhat informative...?
I can describe dota for the most part just fine, I just don't know the intricate details.

I'll just update the spoiler below every so often.

Anyway, Chuan feeding apparently, Alliance up 2-1 and a tower.

4-2 iG now, Alliance pushing 2nd tier turret in top lane with Venomancer vs YYF on Doom

iG gank squad (Mirana/Brew) smoke ganks Tinker (s4) while the rest of Alliance picks off Razor (Xi) . 5-3 for iG now.

Gank squad again picking up a couple more kills. 8-3 iG and YYF (Doom) is freefarming and taking towers.

MASSIVE engage (blink and 'clap?') from iG but Alliance turns it around with an amazing path of frost and whatever jakiro's firething is under their tower and Alliance wins teamfight 3-0

iG was up like 8k gold but that they just gave up a free rosh to Alliance and now their gold lead is cut by more than half after the earlier teamfight.

Doom is massive, dooms Loda (Venomancer) who had Aegis then ignores him and takes out S4 (Tinker). Another teamfight just now, iG wrecks face. score is 14-7 iG

Jesus the iG gank squad stats are 12-2 between the two of them. Brew is 6-0

Xi gets caught and derps, tries to BKB/tele out but gets interrupted (rooted?) and dies, iG lose a T2 tower. Alliance push too long/far though and lose a couple people (Bulldog/Akke). 17-8 iG

Full teamwipe with YYF picking up four of the five kills. Game is over, Doom bein' Doom.

Alliance able to pick up a couple kills when iG fuck around too long at tower

Game has slowed down big time. People building items and shit

Somehow even though iG is up 20k gold and 30k XP, still feels like anyone's game. How the fuck when yesterday when TL was up like 7k they just roflstomped

Akke gets caught again, iG wins teamfight in rosh pit 3-0 why isn't this game over again?

iG dives all the way into Alliance base almost to fountain and lose 3 people. What the actual fuck

Finally iG. jesus 54 minutes in and they finally get some base damage in

EG wrecks C9 when they catch C9 at a risky early rosh. 15 minutes later, EG throws.

My drink for the day is a bit more collegey than my previous cocktails.

2oz Gin
2oz Vodka
1oz Melon Schnapps
1oz Grenadine
Fill with absolutely zero Monster in a lowball.

C9 just made EG looks silly in a rosh fight that started so promisingly, my korean is getting better as i kind of understood the commentary

clap = Thunderclap which is brewmasters slow and aoe nuke, and jakiros ultimate is macropyre the big pillars of fire followed by burning ground, though he also has dual breath and liquid fire as spells

430 is such a fucking god at Brewmaster.

I can get on TS and answer questions people have btw, I remember doing something similar during qualifiers.

I wonder if valve gave the TI4 equipment to the players to use during the tournament or they got it themselves, I've heard riot does a similar thing with new skins in LCS/champions.

iG take very decisive victory at Rosh fight. Alliance started it without clearing vision, iG saw them entering the pit and initiated under Mirana ult(teamwide stealth), iG takes Rosh after with massive lead.

Based 430 and YYF give me all of the points.

To my knowledge no. Players don't even get the stuff from tournaments they play in at least they never used to. Don't know if it's up to the tournament organizer to give them or not.

I mean i'm not a mod or anyone with any power at all xD probably the opposite if anything, but I figured spoiling it keeps the thread from annoying the people who don't care about dota or the people who are working and want to post here to escape work.

venomancers animations are so adorable.

just once this tournament i want to see venomancer warlock. watching the panic that spreads from a solid fatal bonds poison nova is one of the best things to see.

You won't play anything this week-end because you'll be too busy watching TI and EVO... right?

i know you can when you beat the game, how do you do it without it?

Wave as for your most recent question
+ Show Spoiler +

iG is pretty bad at taking risks lately, they like to be absolutely certain when they breach highground to end the game unless their position dictates a all in on highground. when ahead they take it slow in order to guarantee the win even if it adds 10 minutes of gametime.

LOL and as i say this, they break from tradition and just do something so opposite of iG
