What's your point?
wut?
More people = immortal less rare. . .
The Qualifiers are next week. 6.78 isn't coming out before them.

How long do you think it'll take to reach milestone 1?
A week? A day?
A week? A day?
If you're an item shark, maybe.
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

Okay?If everyone has one, then it's worthless.

The skull hat from that set is my favorite WD item. It just fits him very well

Damn, PL and Dark Seer on your team + you playing as NP. That's pretty dirty.

Yea... I really don't care what the item is worth, just hope it looks cool.
I'm hoping its cool and rare, but oh well.
Idk if 400k compendium sales is even possible.

Ah that sucks man, you can actually attend. . .

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.
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.
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????????)

I kinda wanna go just to see this
please sweet jesus not 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?

Looks like, unlike Greevils, you'll be able to switch around your Smeevil at will, so if you get upgrades you can use them, or change them around as many times as you want.

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*
Riiiiight. I was placing emphasis on a different word, totally changed the meaning to me

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.

they announced when they'd release the tickets last week
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.

I am a certified idiot then.
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.
I know
That's beautiful! Is that the minty winter mountains?
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.
