Since 6.78 is coming there is no way you can predict what will be played.

There will be huge buffs and nerfs, the Icefrog™ way.

EDIT: I didn't realise the "predictions" were about the quals. The meta won't change much from right now. Maybe a bit more Slark and Skywrath.

wut?

More people = immortal less rare. . .
What's your point?

How long do you think it'll take to reach milestone 1?

A week? A day?

I think a week, I think a lot of people will likely not realize they can buy it yet and will grab it later in the week or before the Qualifier games.

For the Immortal Item, I would love Valve to make it a weapon for the Carry of the final game.

I want my battle bonus :(

My brother and I both got the book, so we'll be looking at 150% boost every game for each of us (when we play together) and that ignores the rest of my friends who probably bought it too.

A set of golden armor for Nyx would be fitting

I made a decent haul from the Navi game earlier today. I think I have most of the rares already but I guess it's good for future bets.

as it gets closer to the event (or the expiration of the tickets), the prices will probably fall as people try to quick sell them just to make some kind of money back.

Yeah but the people that really want to go from out of state have travel and lodging accomodations to worry about. And those things get exponentially more expensive the closer you get to that date.

Yeah, I had a good hull too:

Only thing I'm really going to use is the Spirit Breaker Belt, but it gives me a ton of stuff for more bets.

^this.

If scalper tickets don't drop in price to around $75 in late June, then I'm flat out just not going. It'll be too expensive all things considered.

The TI3 english caster pairings were announced except one.

LD & Luminous
AC & Draskyl
Tobi & (Merlini/Syn/Pyrion Flax/Sheever/Blaze????????)

Pyrion for the qualifiers yes

But he needs more experience/knowledge to be able to cast the proper TI3 games

I am not sure I understand. You mean buy a scalped ticket? Or do they just let locals in?

No, like you live a drivable distance away and actually want to attend. I think a lot of people are just hoarding the tickets.

The qualifiers is BTS and GD. I'm assuming Bruno will be back *fingers crossed - with a g-unit apporved shirt*
 
What a goofy match. Rampage PA in a pro game.

And shira - the outside is neat, but the interior of the Seattle Public Library is notably less impressive. Has some fugly colors and the layout is not the most conducive to actual usage (weird walkway things). Was there a few times when I lived in the Seattle area for some school project research.
 
Wow, so they released the tickets in the middle of the night and never announced when they'd be doing it? Cause fuck, I wanted to go. I've been saving up my vacation time to do this, but.... Fuck.

No, they announced when they were going to do it. They just didn't do it then, and kinda did it on the test client, and kinda did it through the broken store.

There was a live timer showing when they would go on sale, and it was announced a few days back, though they didn't actually get the store working until 45 minutes later.

I'm really hoping that Xyclopzz disappeared off of the face of the earth to go into rigorous TI commentator training. I'd like to see Pflax and Sheever there in some capacity, possibly on the stage or doing interviews. Really wish Tobi was blacklisted for being a twat last year and the over the other issues though.

If there is an International 4(which I assume the compendium is them trying to see if they can find a way to fund it and make more economic sense for them to do it every year) , they really need to find a bigger venue, and probably split the tickets into rounds.

The latter might increase attendance for the less high profile matchups as well.

I'd like to go watch some games, but I dunno if I can justify a full 5 day trip, and I don't feel like spamming F5 on the shop the second the tickets are released hoping to get one.

I actually envision there being 2 major "Internationals" next year.

Korea or China if they can work out the logistics.

For fuckyamerica, why not use a Seattle sports stadium.

The choices would be Key Arena, which is in the Seattle Center and kind of away from everything. Seahawks Stadium is way too big. Safeco is still huge. Husky Stadium is again pretty far away from everything, and probably too big.

Not a lot of good choices, TBH. Seattle is totally fucked in terms of layout. Now if they had it in Portland............

I think they run it at Benaroya due to the classy factor.
