Good invites and in the right order too. The 4 teams in the first row are so far and above every other team right now.

Qualifiers will be more exciting than the main event. Anything without OG is.

NA Top 3 is EG DC and Col, right? But in which order?
Gotta win the open qualifiers first
Damn Navi hasn't won a LAN since 2014
I'd give MVP over LGD but yeah Navi is like the pity pick
were you this salty when secret won like 4 tournaments in a row or alliance were winning tournaments without dropping a set?

I wonder what would have happened if LGD played poorly at Frankfurt, oh well
Dodge was super effective
They got reaverxai and cyborgmatt to do that.
Reaver and Matt registered them.

Wait why is ehome not going through the open quals? Old eleven is now a "sub" and they got fan (or fran) from newbeeY
Am i missing something?!
Am i missing something?!
now the most important question still remains
fan switched back to sub and eleven came back, so they retained the same roster as they had when they registered(i assume) so they get the invite
i don't know if it works that way or not
also iceiceice is now pos 1

Blood rage is dumb, 40% more damage for a chance of 25% heal. Bloodrite is takes way too long, people just walk out of it. Thrist is great. Rupture is dumb, all you have to do is standstill or tp away, so dumb. 99% of the heroes are better than him, hence why he is never picked. Just a terrible carry all around.

Yeah it is really shit. Trying to br some sort of leeg shooter moba hybrid eith some card game crap instead of going for something unique and it just fails horribly
I see thanks.
Ice3 switching roles faster than demon switches teams
ps. Zootopia is a fantastic movie!
I was wondering why you were playing such a crappy game.
I'm going with Monday. Bruino already said that's when the Major Prediction points will be given out, likely will be a good time for a number of Compendium related things.

ELO rankings are kind of pointless right now
Newbee lost to CDEC.Y today 2-0 this morning
http://wiki.teamliquid.net/dota2/StarLadder_i-League_StarSeries/Season_2/China
Seems like the LGD and Newbee don't want to give away any drafts or strats leading up to TI6.

it is odd fnatic don't get an invite. Wonder if there's something going on there?

OG: 2 major wins, recently won ESL, stable roster since TI5
Liquid: 2 major 2nd place, stable roster since TI5
LGD: 4th Manila, Xiao8 former TI4 winning captain, stable roster since Manila
MVP: 4th Shanghai, 5th Manila, 2 LAN wins, stable roster since Shanghai
Newbee: 3rd Manila, 2nd Epicenter, stable roster since Manila
Navi: 7th Manila, 3 LAN 2nd places, stable roster since Manila
Fnatic: 5th Manila/Shanghai, roster changes Mushi for 343 + Net for Mushi
Sure they've won 4 straight online qualifiers, but they haven't finished above 4th in any major LAN and they coudn't beat No Diggity or Complexity @ EPICENTER wildcard

I'm not sure just raw placings statistics are really a good metric. Fnatic has looked competitive against pretty much everyone in recent memory. They've flubbed some shit, but I'd say they've proven themselves more than NaVi recently.
For substance:
At manila, Fnatic had one of the toughest groups with Liquid, Alliance, and VGR, managed a 2-1 with a 5-3 record.
In bracket, they went 2-1 vs LGD before being 2-0d by the eventual 3rd place team, Newbee, and then again 2-0d by the second place team Liquid.
They ended up with 5th place, but their bracket was extremely difficult. Only thing that could've been harder is facing OG or Newbee in the first round.

I think this is probably it, but those changes are so relatively minor it's surprising to me nonetheless.

I want MVP to win TI, players from a country that actually exists (unlike Denmark) and stans GOOD games like real RTSs including League of Legends. Power.
Sigh, the dream.

Just had one of those PA games where you walk around one-shotting everyone.
I killed the enemy Chemical Raged Alchemist from full HP with a single dagger crit.
Why is the NA qualifier two teams short? Even if there aren't enough (or any) good NA teams, couldn't they at least make it 4 open qualifier teams?
