Guys, I've been looking in the dota 2 site, joindota, and no bracket results for the qualifiers :/

I've watched 0 dota since last ti and I wanna know something about the teams, everything I've seen so far is very weird.

qualifiers are all lower-tier teams, i don't think they've ever done well in any past TI. this is essentially meaningless.

the teams that got into TIs through quals never did well, except LGD in TI3 and they were originally an invite team anyway.

i would bet that none of the qualifier teams in TI5 make better than 8th place.

edit: actually LGD didn't do well at ti3 except in the group stage, so even they don't count.

Yeah, I think going forward with the new Majors system they will be more important, but so far they seem to just be used to fill in spots since a 11 team tournament would look silly . To date I think the most successful qualifier team was actually TI4's Liquid, who came in 9th/10th (TI3's LGD did pretty well, they were 4th in their bracket but got the 9th-12th placing).

I still like how in the 3 TI's MUFC were invited to, they won only a single game.

Edit: Wait, LGD was a qualifier team last year? Yeah, they did well, so there is one qualifier team who legitimately did well in the main event.

Liquid was one game away from the playoffs. never forget

LGD got 5th last year, that's a very respectable result. This year the CN/EU/NA qualifiers can all do pretty well since there's a lot of experienced players that have done well in past TI's.

I agree completely, it seems pretty much all the teams that are getting in through the qualifiers are very strong teams that certainly have the potential to go far in the tournament. Man, TI5 has the potential to be something truly special.

The LGD vs DK match was really exciting though, with the super long game that DK threw in the end. LGD almost got to losers finals.

Chris R · May 28, 2015

At least they picked a carry this time lol

Gentle Rodriguez · May 28, 2015

Motherfucker pick an exciting hero, fuck Viper. Someone pick CK damnit, only Alliance wants to pick it and nobody let's them get both Wisp and CK.

Oh my god Wisp+Viper mid lane, it's ebola combined with cancer.

Man Nar should have just default loss.

This is stupid

aeolist · May 28, 2015

the throws from qojqva

Gentle Rodriguez · May 28, 2015

ROFL Qojqva

Didn't even have to die once, instead gets greedy(TWICE) and dies twice in a row, these are the kind of plays that get you rekt vs experienced teams.

Demoli · May 28, 2015

That qojqva play right there is the nº1 reason NA quals are a joke

Every game is a pub.

Drkirby · May 28, 2015

Qojqva threw so hard with that first buyback. They have such an uphill battle now.

I guess it depends on if they're going to let Black play an actual fucking carry where he can build actual fucking carry items. Ugh.

There's your answer. Black AM incoming.

W1SSY · May 28, 2015

Please Black^ AM and not a Qojqva farm for 60 minutes and lose game AM.

Shuggananas · May 28, 2015

will he make octarine core tho

Bulzeeb · May 28, 2015

Hi guys, what are some good sites to learn about Dota like builds, strategies, good team composition, etc

JambiBum said:

yea, and Mouz probably lost. Their group of 4 without AM can't hold back NAR's 5-man pushing. Not long enough to buy AM the time to get farmed enough to carry this. Too hard a carry pick.

We'll see, but my expectations are not high here.

There are some good Steam guides you might want to look through as well.

Gentle Rodriguez · May 28, 2015

Think it's a mistake to ban SD instead of QoP but maybe they have a solution for it.

There are none.

You literally need someone competent to teach you as you play

Shuggananas · May 28, 2015

or just pay purge so he can teach you

don't

that's not true. the man wants the basics. there is no shortage of stuff for new players to learn the core concepts of the game. There will be a point where those are no longer sufficient, but those alone along with just playing the game are a great start.

shira · May 28, 2015

Damn, black^ AM and I don't even wanna watch
