Interested to see DK play against European giants. And yes, Navi-Alliance as usual, unless Navi throw single elimination.
I'm supporting Speed, their gameplay is pretty cool. I hope they keep a steady line-up (why did you leave bone7 :((( ) and have a shot at TI4
Recent records going into this tournament, basically the last month of games and their joindota ranking.
#1 Alliance 22-7
#4 Navi 19-13
#5 Liquid 19-5
#6 DK 20-10
#9 Fnatic 13-14
#10 Speed 17-6
#14 EG 10-15
#16 Sigma.int 15-6
#55 PBS 13-11
How is 13-14 better than 17-6? And how is 19-5 worse than 19-13? Other than that this is so gonna be a mini TI, with the in-game watching as well.
The recent records are not intended to be a ranking. The ranking # are just from their joindota ranking.
The recent records show who is going into the tournament on a winning track and who is not. EG and Fnatic have been struggling this past month, while Liquid and DK are doing very well. Navi and Alliance have not been quite as dominating as some might think, they have dropped games to Liquid, Speed, Fnatic, and even EG besides losses to each other.
List is still kind accurate though, depending on teams' current strenghts. Maybe Sigma should be higher than EG and Speed should be higher than Fnatic but still not that bad.
Maybe, Sigma was playing very well yesterday when they took their first tournament champoinship. They have just begun to really get their coordination set. But the BigPointBattle was a lot of BO1 and the only team they faced that is in MLG was EG, who is off their game recently.
I bought that bundle on steam. I used that ticket (to get items ingame) but I can't see anywhere that its active?
Since when Dota game starts on time? Never. It never happens. Just wait, it will begin shortly.
If you are watching in the client you are eligible. If you have a pendant for a team in the game you odds increase for each pendant. You used to have to equip one pendant, but they are all supposed to count now per 6.79 patch.
my net went out for a bit, and game was over(kinda saw that coming though) what happened in the last like 5mins
DK vs Alliance is starting. DK is going with what would certainly be called a "western" draft from 6.78. CK Wisp OD ET CM. Alliance got all classic Alliance heroes Mag Enchant Gyro Naga NP.
--------------------------
MMY proves the Chinese have learned how to Wisp just in time for the nerf, but its still very strong.
You can only receive tournament drops in this tournament if you have activated the MLG ticket. Most of the viewers are not eligible for item drops.
After watching Speed vs Alliance and Speed vs Sigma I find myself distraught. I actually did not belive that Speed is so dependent on Bone7. Its pretty crazy but without his initations Speed cant really do anything.
Some good games yesterday, looking forward to more later. Nice to see both Alliance and Na'Vi take a loss early on, makes things more interesting.
EE realizes Arteezy is a solo mid player. Gives him a TA, Navi down 24-4, Navi doesn't get even 1 tower.
fucking navi is sucking so hard in mlg that SWAG team is playing better than them imo
the match is still going i think lol
the spectators were talkin shit
Finally time for Alliance to come up with a new strat. Liquid just solved it. Alliance got everything they wanted and is still getting crushed.
I would still say that alliance is the second best after DK right now, personally i would like speed to win.
MMY what a player
Lanm what a player
iceiceice what a player
Mushi what a player
Burning what a player
DK doto dreamteam
Puppey got majorly outdrafted on this game. They had no killing power at all against all that beef.
Alliance being outmanouvered again. I guess they always take longer than Na'Vi to adjust themselves to new versions.
OMG dendi WR is out of control

Prize pool is up to $124,000 on ticket sales from an initial $50,000 confirming that business model pioneered at TI3 will work for major regional tournaments.
6 of the current top ten ranked teams in the world are at this LAN in Columbus. 5 of them were at TI3.
Is this going to come down to another Navi vs Alliance showdown or can someone else take a shot at the Grand Finals?
