I hate charlie so much on the panel. He sounds so pretentious like hes an expert but actually hes terrible

thats just me though

Spoiler

im worse than him

 

[Mohasus]

hey alliance pls pick pa for loda every game and go to the finals too

while miracle stick his 9k icefrog points up his ass

 

[close to the edge]

I like OG a lot, but I'm really happy to see MVP advance. Such a fun team to watch. They just go for it.

edit: I've heard a lot of people disliking Charlie, but I think he's fine. I don't like Nahaz for some reason.

 

[neurosisxeno]

Remember when the groups were announced and people said Group A was stacked? Group B is looking much stronger...

 

[Deadly]

rip everyone's bracket predictions

 

[Aeriscloud]

Guys I heard Miracle is 9k.

 

[LiQuid!]

This touch panel is so ridiculous and tryhard. You dumbasses paid $20 million dollars for this production value, what do you guys think?

 

[Kalor]

I wish we got a better camera angle for Purge's screen.

 

[Eleuin]

Dumpstered

idk man EHOME looks strong. and let's not count newbee out yet.

The games should be close but I'm betting on 2-0 and 2-1 sets

Pretty much. I'm personally hoping for a MVP/OG/Wings win.

MVP win into Korea taking an interest would be absolutely awesome. Won't be happening though, with LoL --> Overwatch.

Last game ruined by me thinking I lost my phone.





It was in my bag tho, somehow tangled up in a bunch of wires and shit.

Good game!!?

 

[StriKeVillain]

You chose wrong!

 

[Arol]

Such a great series.

My predictions though and I'm assuming a large majority of others predictions as well.

 

[Usobuko]

I'm so happy for the Koreans though, the is already the best result they have on TI thus far.

Best game.

And man, that feeling is the worst. So good you didn't actually lose it.

That Purge touch panel stuff feels completely pointless. Like, what did that panel even do there. The second scene he showed didn't have much to do with anything he said.

I think it's really neat and Purge is doing a good job with it. They had a similar thing for Dreamleague and people seemed to like it a lot.

edit: That said, I think it would be cooler if it was in context of the panel, not basically a separate segment as it is currently.

 

[Drkirby]

Things that will literally never happen.

Spoiler

I think Wings loses to DC though

I really feel Wings is super overrated by the analysts. They aren't terrible or anything, but I don't see then making it to the top 3.

 

[SecretMoblin]

kaci is AMAZING

WOW!!!!


the way she's able to draw out such profound emotional responses from enerds ;___;

very strong.

 

[shira]

Fraud

 

[Hylian7]

Wtf was that item in the lower right slot it just showed?!

 

[Tworak]

damn this guy is charming as fuck

 

[bbd23]

OG you idiots were supposed to lose to wings in the next series

 

[cheezcake]

This touch panel is so ridiculous and tryhard. You dumbasses paid $20 million dollars for this production value, what do you guys think?

Nothing wrong with it but I feel like it's better to just go through certain important moments in methodical detail than just glaze over everything super fast.

 

[Fevaweva]

Febby is now one of my favourite players.

 

[Emerson]

Wtf was that item in the lower right slot it just showed?!

I didn't see it but probably just one of those years old versions of an item icon that are inexplicably still used at TI.

 

[Soule]

Febby classy as hell, happy to hear March get a mention too.

 

[fr0st]

PA first phase ban vs MVP LUL

 

[KingKong]

time for our boys Wings to shine

 

[yagal]

I wish we got a better camera angle for Purge's screen.

It wasn't anything I recognized. It looked like a white drill with a green background.

 

[W1SSY]

Kaci just kills it every year with the interviews.

 

[Eleuin]

Send Charlie into the fucking sun

 

[Drkirby]

Its likely the Chinese no skull version of an item. I assume it was vlads or BKB, but I didn't see it.

Edit: Saw it, it's the beta Wind Lace icon. No clue how that made it in.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

Wings got the better theme, they win!

 

[NaDannMaGoGo]

From cavemen MVP to the clowns of Wings. What a day.

I am a fan of Secret, but they really truly did Misery wrong. w33 I can sort of understand, although he has improved since he left Secret, but sacrificing Misery for a temporary Universe was ridiculous.

Misery > Bulba all day every day.

 

[neurosisxeno]

Kaci just kills it every year with the interviews.

This Misery interview is pretty solid.

 

[la_briola]

Misery is telling it like it is. Get rekt Secret.

 

[neurosisxeno]

Misery not even hoping for a win, just a Top 8 or even Top 6 lol

I think DC beats Wings and he gets that Top 6.

 

[spindoctor]

Hoping DC wins this set but man the thought of a wings vs MVP match is mouthwatering. That match will be beautiful chaos.

Hindsight and all but Secret was a better team with w33 and Misery. And they were getting better results.

 

[Usobuko]

Wait, if DC loses and Secret beat LGD, then

grudge match incoming.

Hoping DC would pull one over Secret though.

Secret should beat LGD. These Bo1's are going to be heartbreaking.

 

[Air Holland]

Kaci's TV experience definitely comes through in these interviews - finds a way to make the interviewee comfortable in front of the camera and gets some really good, honest answers as a result.

 

[Anno]

So that win puts QO behind only Jaedong for career Korean tournament earnings in any sport if esportsearnings is anything to really go by. I wonder if a really high finish here for MVP can drum up even a bit more excitement about Dota over there.

 

[Fevaweva]

Hindsight and all but Secret was a better team with w33 and Misery. And they were getting better results.

Totally agree. I don't think its even in hindsight. Just look at the lack of results Secret have had since they got rid of Misry and w33.

I see, thanks.

 

[Sigismundo]

Is everyone at the merch shop or something? Game 1 of OG/MVP was (relatively) packed.
