There are no EU qualifiers, unless they're doing something different this year. It's simply Western Quals (NA, SA, Europe) and Eastern Quals (SEA).

Are the qualifiers broken out like that this year? Last year I thought it was just East and West.

Alliance are a relic.
Well I think it makes sense, you don't want games being biased in favour of one team due to ping issues. IIRC, it affected EG's performance in the TI qualifiers last year.

How are you supposed to kill anything versus Dazzle and SD? Mirana with leap, Ember's remnants and Puck overall, must be really annoying. Especially with only Shaman and DK to provide lockdown.
The shield likely looks better in game, and when not viewed at a 90 degree angle to the main face.
Stop hating on Silence Spirit people, he is very fashionable.
You pick Silencer and turn off the bass.

Guys, guys. Fuck Windows. Why? Cus it only started an update just as Storm jumps into rosh to attempt an Aegis steal. I hear him, and my laptop shuts down. Scariest moment of my life (may or may not be exaggeration). Was like an hour into the game and I thought that would be game, cus before this I had been what won all of the important fights. I come back and find out my team won the following fight without me somehow, Sniper having got Aegis. And we'd been looking like we were gonna lose for 30 mins. I move onto a new computer lol, and come back and we end it. So fucking tense, but this is why I love Dota. I actually played simply decent at best compared to how I felt I should though. Was getting caught way too much and flustered in fights. I have the most kills though so imma claim the glory.
I'm WR so this makes sense.

Apparently they want to lower the number of teams they invite, which I think is a good idea, we don't need 13 invites
Speculation? Leaks? While these were things, It says so on the damn blog:

Yeah the drafting was shit, I thought maybe someone should've have bought an orchid for Dazzle/SD/Ember but just one wouldn't have done much. Disruptor was mostly useless.

From that perspective, sure.
Ugh, to run 4 different mini-tournaments? First of all, you have to field enough qualified teams to actually have them. That's like...at least 8 teams, no? So we're talking 32 teams (minimum) spread across the planet. That would make Compendiums a mess (at least 160 players, TI3 compendiums included teams that didn't get past the qualifiers like EG) and it would make watching quals a ridiculous time commitment (100+ matches). It will also unnecessarily prolong the qualifier stages. Oh well. Gotta reach the largest audience possible, I suppose.
The regions are unannounced unless I've missed it, therefore speculation.
Oh yeah, while they haven't put it in black and white its pretty safe to say its just going to be Americas, Europe, China, SEA.

time to put all rares on rox kis. fnatic gets lucky from time to time but they are outclassed by most of the top teams
Nope, gotta watch out because Dog is going to take a bite out of the competition. woof.
Then why cuss at me? Why can't we be friends?
So anyway, EU qualifier should be excellent.
I didn't hear what was said on stream, but this happened:

What a day. Got from 4430 to 4505 MMR and had three amazing games.
First i snowballed out of control as Necro.
Then I supported pretty bad as Bane, but we still won and the game was fun.
Then I carried my team to victory on Luna.
Got 2 Godlikes today. Feels good man!

Its going to be 6.80d and then all you guys are going to look silly.

I like WE to be honest. Maxed W+E gives you the long deafening disarm and damage, the strongest meatball, the strongest Alacrity, the strongest EMP, and high movement speed. And of course, douchebag sunstrikes. Weak Cold Snap and short tornado are drawbacks, but hey...it's a game of tradeoffs with Invoker.

They are, and will only be, going down in price.
I guess in theory there is a possible future where they stop selling the clothes or stop bundling the lock boxes making the supply shrivel up and driving the price up with it, but I would doubt that happening and if it did it's nowhere near today.
They will likely keep going down in value. I expect a series 2 of the Luckboxes at TI4, but they will likely offload old stock from TI3 still.
The luckboxes are simply you open them, they give you a random item from like 10 possibilities. Its not a chest so you can just keep getting the same item multiple times if your luck sucks.

honestly, whiffing Ravage has to be the most embarassing ults to miss. It's radius is so large, there's rarely an excuse.
