Alliance out Na'Vi IS in

They will look get shattered once they face the big boys in the main event tho.



And because you know they did nothing to stop him.

Exactly. Alch farms well but has a starting disparity relative to most carries. They just let him. The whole laning phase was bad.

 

[mvtn]

7ckingmad is really useless in this team.

This. Question is who should they pick instead.

 

[monocromo]

I fucking love Synderen casting / commenting games.

 

[SilentRacoon]

Theyre not in yet, still have to win a bo3

A draw still means a lock for them right?

A draw in a BO3?

 

[Jadax]

Ayesee is completely useless as a Dota caster - he doesn't know shit about the players, TIs and heroes...says so much pointless/wrong stuff it ruins the cast.

 

[Cassius]

This Alliance match has broken me.

Jesus, how do you go from TI3 winners to this.

 

[sixghost]

And because you know they did nothing to stop him.

They had a dual lane up against him and they tried to gank him multiple times early. That entire strategy was based around the alchemist. He was the reason they were able to do rosh level 1. The minute zero bounty brought him to 1000 gold before creeps spawned. The early rosh made an aggressive trilane a non-option. The aghs upgrade for weaver made him unkillable at 25 minutes.

You couldn't just swap in any carry for alch in that situation, which is what the poster I was responding to insinuated.

yeah he was basically level 3 when creeps spawned, there was nothing they could do to stop the snowball

 

[Insured]

So 4ASC has to win one bo3 for their ticket to Seattle, NiP has to win two bo3:s. Super excited for tomorrow, with coL and C9 already in the TI5 Fnatic reunion dream is real

 

[Mordeccai]

GIVE IMMORTAL 3

 

[Chris R]

See you space cowboy ;_;

 

[Kalnos]

Pulling for 4ASC because of that sick MSPaint logo

no no. bo3 elimination match. 4 teams move to the next stage and in the end the 1st will be in and the second will have to play wild card in Seattle.

 

[SilentRacoon]

I see how it is now , thanks for clarification. So the top 2 from each group get into the elimination stage, and from there the 1st and wildcard spot is decided. gotcha.

I think 1st from each group goes to TI.

Then 2nd of each group competes to go to TI.

The winner of each region will be invited to The International. The four runner-ups will compete against each other in a Wild Card series in Seattle for the final two spots of the tournament.

 

[abunai]

alliance

 

[rexor0717]

wow those fail trees

 

[electricboogaloo]

if alliance wants to become relevant again trash like loda must retire. s4 was lucky to bail on this sunken ship,sadly bulldong decided to sink with it.

 

[Haunted]

A draw still means a lock for them right?

If they win twice, they're in. If they lose twice, they're out. If they win once and lose once, they're in the wildcard match with the other 2nd place qualifier finishers.

yup!

 

[shira]

U joking these 2 are probably pulling in a quarter million a year?
Throw in leadership positions in the players union - they making serious bank

 

[Haunted]

Jesus, how do you go from TI3 winners to this.

 

[scarybore]

NiP wins the second game to draw it, nice little confidence booster for tomorrows game(s). Hoping as many ex Fnatic players get to TI as they were my fav team, but I suspect it'll be one of them plus NaVi who get through in the end.

Now to watch that first Alliance PR game, should be a laugh.

 

[LiQuid!]

Get home from the ER to find Alliance was 2-0'd from PR... BRB going back to ER.

They'll be "polishing" those until they need their next sales spike.

 

[Jadax]

Alliance struggling without s4 (no surprise).

Loda was terrible during these qualifiers, lost them games by yoloing in a few games.

7ckngmad is not THAT bad imo - though some of the drafts today were questionable.

They still have to win a Bo3 each. They only qualifed to playoffs

I know, but I meant they're one step closer to being there - guess I wasn't so clear, was driving back and had to write fast on my phone lol.

 

[shira]

I just bought 3Bugattis

Thanks

[rhophiehalul78]

Many Bugattis were lost during that [A] vs PR game

oh i'm sure everyone in the thread and on reddit will make sure to remind me every 5 minutes/seconds that valve are polishing them.

 

[electricboogaloo]

loda was terrible since ti3 days. anyone that knows how to spectate knows it. there is a reason why teams only ban bulldog heros beyond the first two bans and that's because he is the only player on the team that can actually control the game and be threatening to the other team. loda you don't have to ban cause you can just outright outplay him.

 

[ViviOggi]

how are people still not over alliance

it's been two years

let it go

 

[Artanisix]

You didn't see it coming?

Spoiler

With the car keys photo and it being impossible that you get a happy ending 3 episodes in.

 

[Acinixys]

Immortals:

That game 1 of Alliance vs PR was amazing. Just finished it. Aghs Weaver is insane. Really hope to see more of it leading up to TI proper

Also, when Alliance kicked Niqua, PPD said he should keep his chin up because they are nothing without him

The sultan of

calls it again

No? I thought like

when she went back to their house they might have moved away, or Chloe and her wouldn't be friends anymore. Not that she'd be freaking paralyzed.

Also I forgot to

take a picture of Chloe and William in the kitchen. I did draw on the fireplace though. We'll see what comes of those.

They are supposed to play a second best of 3. Personally, since they already are bending the rules and making them play on the tie breaker day, I think they should just turn the series into a single BO3.

 

[W1SSY]

This Mango stream is interesting.

 

[ksan]

im a strong independent mango

 

[Haly]

I can't believe they replaced cats with fish.
