timado had it 100% right, cr1t drafted to win lanes. he picked PL because he could solo vs bat and come out on top, so they won all 3 lanes and then couldn't do anything with it because midgame they could never take a head-on fight.
 
i feel kinda bad for chappie, i wouldn't be surprised if empire just decides to replace him with reso at this point
after ti6, dc/thunderbirds/planet odd was very disappointing, but seems like reso is the only one who's still got it
every russian team will be aiming to get reso now

Well I think Empire would have won NA qualifiers. Not his fault Reso is stuck on odd

Reso on that contract year

Zai and cr1t died more times than total kills EG had.

Team needs a better captain and draft picker. PL was a shit pick, Wyvern did fucking nothing and SK's play of the game was snatching an aegis and dying the very next frame.

Complete shit tier Dota.
 
When will have an idea of the 2017-2018 tournament schedule? I recall there being that twitter leak of dates, but around when are we likely to get confirmation about upcoming major-tier events?

I've noticed this. It doesn't matter if you win lanes when you have no win condition and can't snowball to insane levels.
 
Looks like I'm out of team jerseys at this rate. Guess I'll just wear the NP one tomorrow.

Going to have to do laundry too, I really expected free shirts so I only brought 5 with me. Don't know if the all star game will even give out one this year.
 
Day9 is an awesome host. He has just enough experience and knowledge to clarify some things and ask competent questions, but he's still lacking enough game knowledge to prompt the rest of the panel to expound upon things that they would normally take for granted. That, and he's gelling well with everyone. Panels are smooth, and I'm learning a lot. He's getting everyone to drop frequent tidbits of wisdom. Getting all of these insights into drafting is great.

Yep. As someone who mostly just watches the International and not the rest of the pro scene he's pretty good at hitting the spot between presumed knowledge and prompting explanations.
