Oh boy.
Do you sit in 108? Gonna fire up some arena beers before the finals.

I shall, good sir.

 

[ACE 1991]

I shall, good sir.

Gonna be in 108 again man?

 

[NormalFish]

CDEC I believe.

Prediction: LGD 2-0, CDEC 3-1.

PPD has to be so pissed right now. I don't think he'll draft his best. Xiao8, on the other hand, never fails to impress with his ability to come up with consistent and strong strats.

CDEC are looking really fantastic, and I don't see any indication that they'll lose to either EG or LGD just given that they've won on the back of fantastic teamplay and mechanics rather than drafts or impressive strategic play.

 

[ACE 1991]

Walking into 108 reveal yourselves!

I saw you walk down and then turn around and leave

 

[NormalFish]

Xz is the best player at the international

 

[Hazaro]

I should have woke up earlier to save more seats

 

[ACE 1991]

If you're looking for a place to sit, go to 106 at the bottom!

 

[The Technomancer]

Fucking hell when the enemy has a CK and a Medusa you don't fucking try to outfarm them as Shadow Fiend, you get with the rest of the fucking team including the Aghs Tiny and the Troll Warlord and you fucking push

Bounty pick.

Tusk pick.

No razor pick.

Good job, ppd.

instead they pick 5 heroes that hate silences and don't ban silencer.

Bottle, treads, deso, blink, sny, crit
stack your own ancients

I find that getting a early Wraith Band, then going Crystallis first is incredible where I am at the moment mmr-wise. Mid with some points on Psi Blade and they just suffer.

I'll try that build too.

This was so frustrating. I messed up really hard. Should have got a MKB or Eul's to counter Jugg. I'm depress now.

 

[G.ZZZ]

Literally game of Throws lmao

It turns out it is not a bad draft.

It is always pleasing to see a Storm Spirit getting punished for his buyback.

Especially this kind of play:

The storm triple kill zipzap : http://gfycat.com/DefenselessUnequaledArrowworm

 

[Shuggananas]

Literally game of Throws lmao

EG dominated that game with perfect timing against silencer
One sloppy fight mid and another fight that went poorly but they got double rax and forced lots of buybacks so it was worth it

Outplayed really hard

 

[Ketch]

Now can we have a serious discussion about PEDs? They're not illegal, teams have managers that could easily supply them, are they even against the rules at TI Like officially? With so much on the line, why would you not utilize every advantage you could?

Is this an actual concern? Or is there something in my kool-aid?

He didn't get punished for that though?

I'm not convinced fear actually practices clinkz at all.

PEOPLE DOUBTED

BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD

 

[Wok]

All the EG players are MVP at one point during this game.

Been doing that all fucking week for you!

I know ur the best
Wanted to do that today

It depends on the matchup mid, I've been omitting wraith band in my builds recently.

If you get pooled tangos and go for a quick bottle, you should be able to get a 1:30ish bottle with sustainable refraction. Then get 2:00 rune and be full.

Early deso is too good to ignore right now on TA and you should really be building it before crit. Gives you solo rosh potential, objectives, etc.

Oh well, maybe next year valve sets up a beer tent outside

How do you guys keep track of whos who when watching a stream? Since all the hero texts are different colours its next to impossible for me to actively keep up with whos on which team, especially when theres a team battle going on

Well most people go by health bars (green = Radiant, red = Dire), and it's something you get used to as you play.

If I understood your question correctly, you can enable names on top of lifebars in the options which helps

 

[Deleted member 325805]

Played GreenTD today, what year is it? Reborn and mods are going to be huge for the game, I'm glad I decided to get into it now.

 

[Ketch]

They're gonna pick silencer

CDEC has a really great darkseer.

How long can we keep earning compendium achievements/levels before Valve pulls the plug?

 

[manfestival]

how often can I call one guyro?

 

[waxinlyrical]

Get kicked by EE, win TI5.

Seriously though, EG had such a huge advantage over CDEC because they have to ban Aui's Techies and Naga.

Sumail is also wrecking Shiki every game. I can't see EG losing this series, even though CDEC are executing amazingly in their team fights.

 

[Kard8p3]

Man I want CDEC to win, but even if they don't they have a new fan lol.

Thanks, that helped a lot. This definitely seems like the only way to do it lol

I can already see that. I meant that the names are all in different colours so it makes following what's going on very hard.

Whenever we get the replay up, can someone get a gif of that ice blast/dunk?

Was pretty clutch, even if an 'easy' setup.

 

[NormalFish]

Bummer seeing Xz so off. Still think he's the biggest MVP of the tournament, but that was not his best work :\

Pressure got him and tilted. Clockwork pick last game was ehh.

 

[call_kotaku]

I'm really excited for majors now, too.

Lots of new blood in China, probably lots of reshuffling (Secret, maybe C9, all of China) after TI, all the sort of things that I was looking forward to in competitive DOTA.

Maybe EG winning and coL doing well will discourage NA players from indulging in stupid drama on reddit and actually put together some strong teams, but most likely not.

yeah, for sure. Everytime he was on camera he was a mess.

His clock had one or two really sick cogs but he just didn't have the impact he had in previous clock games.
