chrome

whitelisted it with ublock and ghostery, even tried it in an incognito tab with all extensions disabled and it doesn't work

tried edge too

 

[KingKong]

Puppey draft too ballsy, plus EE's being playing pretty poorly all day.

Idk if ballsy id the right word, what are they supposed to do with that draft

 

[evlcookie]

I guess the EE curse continues.

 

[misses bull]

 

[harSon]

USA USA USA

[Anno]

Good work by Vega. Mag is one of my favorite players out there so I'm super happy for him. Great games this tournament.

It was supposed to be a BO5 by I guess they ran into time constraints? Who knows.

 

[Tworak]

?

Vega been doing some fine work, well deserved.

 

[bounchfx]

wega takes it! even after all those 'fuck omg' moments early game. good on them!

 

[Baha]

Really hoping Vega resists any attempts by Na'Vi to poach their players. That said, I'm really happy for Vega. Felt they could've made it to ti5 through the qualifiers but winning ESL One 3 months later really shows how much their hard work paid off.

 

[abunai]

Nice! Happy for mag after he parted ways with empire just before they hit the big leagues last year. Super coordinated play there.

ya think navi has any pull any more? they've been a mess for a while

 

[bbd23]

alright, time for TBH5

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

I don't think big players want to go there anymore, navi's recent acquisitions reflect this.

 

[Baha]

Given how often they've changed their roster in this year alone, I think their mess still appeals to certain players since the salary offered is probably higher than other CIS organizations can afford.

 

[Tworak]

a good salary but lower chance for price money. now that's a decent dilemma.

 

[Baha]

a good salary but lower chance for price money. now that's a decent dilemma.

I'd imagine for a lot of pro players, the promise of financial stability alone would be very tempting.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Solo really worked hard to turn everything around since the 322 incident, mad props to him.

 

[shira]

this is probably a major invite too

What-if navi steals their player

 

[Satch]

eg so fucking dogshit get it together you fucking monkeys

 

[Hylian7]

eg so fucking dogshit get it together you fucking monkeys

It's almost as if kicking the one of the players they won TI5 with made them worse

 

[1.09]

its almost like losing to the tournament winners isnt a feasible metric to judge a team but whatever

 

[call_kotaku]

What-if navi steals their player

you mean what-when

 

[JawesomeJaw]

Vega played a lot of games on this patch and beat teams that had new team line ups and stand ins. Not to take anything away from them, but I wonder what their performance is one the meta shakes out and stability hits.

 

[Satch]

eg's gonna win ti6 btw, dont take my frustrations as a signal to drag my team

theyre still the best dota 2 team with the best dota 2 player in dota 2 history, so make fun of them now while you can eg & rtz haterstraights

 

[Pratfall]

gonna go ahead and doubt eg did much or any prep for that tourny

 

[shira]

Was it milk that is challenging rtz mid 1v1?

[Hylian7]

Had a really bizarre thing happen earlier. When we kept getting kicked back to lobby because we got Reborn'd during the IHL matches, when I tried to chat in lobby after the first time it just said "(No one hears you)".

I'm not muted, I could chat everywhere else just fine. I played a pub game and could talk in text and voice with no problem. Wtf was that about?

 

[aeolist]

yeah this. fear looked pretty good on naga but obviously there's room to improve there.

also it was mostly a draft choke.

Same thing happened to sanjay. Game is weird.

 

[TUSR]

if you set a series to a BO3 and only complete 2 games (like the IHL format) i havent had success at looking at G1 of a series.

Shouldn't milk try beating noblewingz first?

So, who do you think will get invited to the Major and the Qualifiers? Invitations will be announced tomorrow. Here is what we know:

Ahead of this Major, there will be Open Qualifiers from October 6-9, and Regional Qualifiers from October 10-13. Any team may participate in an Open Qualifier, and two teams from each region will be among those invited to participate in the Regional Qualifiers. The Regional Qualifiers will then determine several of the teams to be invited to battle at the Major. Direct invitations to the Major and the Regional Qualifiers will be announced on October 5th.

The teams that will be directly invited to the Frankfurt Major and its Regional Qualifiers will be revealed on October 5th. The Open Qualifiers will be hosted by FaceIt and Perfect World and will take place October 6 – 9, with the Regional Qualifiers occurring October 10 – 13. Open Qualifier registration will open to any Dota players who wish to compete on October 1st.

It looks like there will be 4 Qualifiers like last time, Americas, SEA, Europe, and China. So only 8 teams will even be directly invited to the qualifiers.

The number of teams invited to the main event will likely be between 6 and 10. I'm going to guess 8 teams will get invited to the main event.

So here are my guesses for the invites.

Main Event:
EG
VP
Secret
CEDC
VG
LGD
EHOME
MVP

(Basically top 8 from TI5)

Qualifiers:

NA:
Cloud9
Archon

EU:
Vega
5JuNGz

SEA:
Fnatic
Mineski

China:
IG
TongFu
