Well played to Alliance.

Thoroughly dominated this weekend.


Some piss poor performances as well from Cloud 9.

 

[Divvy]

Great series. Both teams played very well! I hope TI is going to be this exciting

 

[LiQuid!]

Clown 9, retire.

 

[OTIX]

SVÄRJE!

 

[manfestival]

Clown 9 disband

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Great play from Alliance

 

[FACE]

This series was way closer than I thought it'd be.

 

[inkls]

Lol cmon guys, C9 got 2nd place

 

[TGMIII]

C9 need to rethink their die-back strategy they employ in every game they play.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Future ti5 champs cloud 9 showing signs of life.

 

[LiQuid!]

Lol cmon guys, C9 got 2nd place

1st loser.

 

[Divvy]

Lol cmon guys, C9 got 2nd place

This. Everyone thought this would go 3-0. Alliance played basically flawlessly on home turf and it still got pushed to an extremely close five games. Credit where credit is due.

 

[FACE]

"First place" hahahaha as if.

 

[ViviOggi]

SUOMI SUOMI SUOMI

 

[Conceptor]

lolll envy looks so mad

 

[Razzer]

Yeah, if you were just reading the reactions in this thread you'd think they got stomped by some B-tier team.

 

[Radec]

lol he Mad.

and their lets do Roshan at the wrong time strat.

It's not great. More often than not it seems like they won a teamfight but they actually lost so much gold because of bb. Also EE is as inconsistent as a carry can get.

 

[aeolist]

yeah c9 really played a great tournament (other than the winners finals)

 

[Shinypogs]

Just...like, the chances of any other grand finals being as good as that are so low, right? This might just be the best series of 2014 when all is said and done.

Depends on who makes it to the grand finals of TI4, with the right combo of teams we could see some crazy creative and back and forth games to rival these. Hell we might even get rivalry factor there as well.

That said this series was awesome

 

[Ultrabum]

Yeah, if you were just reading the reactions in this thread you'd think they got stomped by some B-tier team.

The C9 disband is a joke. I don't think anyone actually thinks they should disband, they have been incredibly successful.

Like all things in dota, we must somehow make the favorite winning as toxic as possible.

 

[Finalow]

these post-game interviews are so cringe.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Someone is going to lose an eye.

 

[ViviOggi]

This never gets old

Exactly, I'm happy alliance got a fight out of C9. This was way more entertaining than initially predicted.

Also for reference when PA is picked:

Reading Twitch chat is the kind of thing that makes me want to sterilize the human race.

Need kaci asap

 

[Shinypogs]

Dreamhack will never have a good champagne ceremony but I hope they never stop doing them.

 

[kvk1]

Time to boot camp for opening bottles.

 

[ViviOggi]

No Rob Ohlen? Weak

Starladder has that bear they bring out. What's Sweden's favourite animal? They can bring that out instead.

[Gxgear]

Great series.

Bringing out a Moose would kill people no doubt.

 

[manfestival]

wait... is this over? no more dreamleague? No more dad insulting shane for his lesser opinions? FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
I am happy Alliance won though. Delicious EE tears. So good.

No more dad period

 

[evilpigking]

Might have been said but ESL: $200,912. Grats Bounchfx on all your work getting in.

 

[SteveWinwood]

THE ROAD TO TI IS ALMOST OVER

Only ESL left.

That wasn't Starladder.

 

[K.Sabot]

NiP and Alliance win.

Sweden sweep Sweden.

 

[trh]

Holy fuck that mouse ad was really something special

 

[aeolist]

The rat. kappa

i approve

 

[Falk]

C9 need to rethink their die-back strategy they employ in every game they play.

gotta improve their 'who takes aegis' strat imo

 

[Lotto]

Game 5 fell kind of flat but overall a great series from both teams! Very enjoyable.

 

[ViviOggi]

Holy fuck that mouse ad was really something special

Imagine what would happen to Twitch chat if it had catchy vocals and Epi in it

 

[Razzer]

I'm gonna have to watch game 4 again, that shit was hype as hell, and probably the only game in the series where all 10 players were amazing (except maybe Loda, but a behind riki doesn't give much room for him)

 

[Chris R]

Only a Bo5 GF at TI???

 

[inkls]

Only a Bo5 GF at TI???

Expecting chinese teams

 

[mastershake]

I am going to miss that awesome gaming mouse commercial
