For the life of me I don't get why Sing is an offlaner. He should be on his mid-lane playmaker heroes.

He was on Venge the last game, and he proved to me once again that he's not a support player.

the only good tinker player is pajkatt and sometimes qojqva

Loda to replace Sing Sing.
I would be happy to see him reunited with EGM again full time but then Akke would be all alone and that can't happen.
Put EGM back on Alliance pls.

Totally agree.

Sorry, but Sing Sing LOL,

Now that EG bought Tinker they can make Alliance.A and Alliance.B and put the better players on A.

things I learned today: it doesn't matter if you win or lose, as long as you make the enemy Sniper mad by killing him as Nyx over and over again
That sounds like it was extremely satisfying
Yes.
1/2 are automatically in the semifinals, needing to only win 2 Bo5s to win it all. 3/4/5/6 play an extra Bo5 with the two losers from those matches earning only 7k vs the 30k a 4th place finish earns.

Is ESL the only tournament that does straight knock out then?
TI4 knocked out half of the field before the "main event" started.

Missed the front portion of this game, but I was curious how this match would go. NOT is certainly very similar to tinker in play style (both being pretty pub-y) and skill level.

TI4's format was diarrhoea through a sieve.

Team Trash. I love singsing, but fuck me they are getting worse and worse. 0 coordination and leadership.
still 10x better than the high budget "precision gaming precision gaming precision gaming
precision gaming" one
Where is the BTS prize pool at btw?

PERU TEAM SPEAK ENGLISH
I believe the correct team name is Team Stinker
And its pretty chill of BTS to use bruno as a translator for them so they feel more comfortable
same thing happened with chuan interview at TI4
really liking how BTS is trying to be so player friendly

Bruno is not translating everything

Yup. It's great that these guys seem to be having a good time. They didn't get much respect leading up to this, so it's awesome that the MVP vote is going in smash's favour and they got this long interview and such. Really good to see.
To be fair, I W O is saying quite a bit and Bruno isn't a trained translator. Even someone who is totally fluent in multiple languages is gonna have a hard time translating effectively without decent practice.
The Summit is like TI: Not Lame Edition
The interviews and general goofing off + pro player casts make it amazing
Agreed

EE needing to leave the room before he gets too serious over a game of candyland is fucking hilarious.
do you disagree? That statement isn't exactly controversial.
I need translator for EE sama i don't speak anime

I agree, but my spanish is bad I wished they let the spanish broadcast team do the translation. There's a spanish broadcast team in house right?

despite all the losses, thanks to Steve, Face, Haly etc. for the games.
game's super different from League and I am enjoying it, although I realise it's frustrating to play with someone who sucks. At the moment I'm in the stage where I don't really have any idea of what my heroes and my opponents are capable of, so I'm not confident or comfortable with any action I take in the game. Like I know the basic fundamentals but this will probably be a sticking point for me for a while, until I get to grips with what the heroes can and can't do.
or even what their abilities are.
like I dunno what the fuck that Shadow Fiend was doing or why it hurt so much or whatever. There was a point in the game where we were up in kills and seemed to be doing well (?) and then suddenly we were losing and I dunno why or how.
But anyway.
Thanks for the games and for sticking it out with me. Hopefully I'll start to suck less and less :/
