wow miracle guess , how was the ingame camera?

 

[Drkirby]

Secret did it! So is there a tie breaker for first, or are they deciding it by head to head matchups?

 

[Anno]

Man I didn't realize how much I missed Cloud 9 Dota. That was a crazy ass game.

 

[lv2 pidgey]

The ingame watch list previews aren't delayed for some stupid reason.

welp

 

[Twookie]

when are the tiebreakers played?

The ingame watch list previews aren't delayed for some stupid reason.

also the esports app shows it earlier too

 

[Qvoth]

fuckin crazy ass game
but at the end i think the 2 supports of secret are just better than empire's, they were higher on networth as well etc, and at the end it made the difference

We get a defwin versus Void Boys due to a no-show. We wait for our next match versus FDL later.

 

[Madouu]

It's just core razor things, you get kited to oblivion if the game goes late enough.

I think the execution on Secret was far superior to Empire during most parts of the game, and it made up for what seemed like a weaker draft, it's a very deserved win.

setting an alarm
how does that work?

 

[NaDannMaGoGo]

I think Void Boys aren't exactly keen on getting shat on more in the matches and from the community.

 

[Baha]

DEFWIN in a TI regional qualifier, how embarrassing.

Maybe it was a shoutout to Demon.

In 3 years 747 will go to SEA and win the Open Qualifiers for a trip to TI9

Hey, better than Manilla, Dragneel forfeited the lower bracket finals in the AM qualifiers.

 

[Randdalf]

I don't quite understand the rules for the regional qualifier. Why is there a tiebreaker for first place?

 

[Anno]

Only 8 heroes neither picked nor banned so far. Seems like a great patch to play TI.

 

[shira]

I don't quite understand the rules for the regional qualifier. Why is there a tiebreaker for first place?

1st place is a birth in TI.

2nd-5th is a double elimination tournament for the last 2 spots (TI birth & wildcard)

Tiebreakers are coming up shortly starting
F5 vs. Escape
Secret vs. Game #1 Winner
Secret vs. Game 2# Loser! #RoadToTI6

CIS got fucking rekt

Ah ok, that makes sense. It doesn't say that on the Liquidpedia page. Also I think you mean berth

rekt

 

[Quesa]

After the round robin, here are the current scores:

(via Liquidpedia)

1st place gets a direct invite to TI, while 2-5 have to fight for the second invite (and wild card) spot. Since Secret, F5 and Escape are tied, they need to play games until we can determine a winner. If the first round of tiebreakers are even, then I believe that's when game times and such come into play.

[Shinypogs]

Can we beat the 7+ hours of tiebreakers in that one broodwar OSL, I'd enjoy that though the players might go crazy.

 

[Quesa]

Also judging by how all three teams fared against each other, it Escape has a good chance of taking 1st since they beat both TS and F5.

bo1s though, anything and everything can happen.

All things out the window it's pocket/push strat time.

You can't judge a bo1 rr the same as a potential bo1 berth to TI

 

[Quesa]

Yup! Good points.

edit: also VoidBoys apparently didn't show up to their match vs DC?

EU Tiebreaker 1

F5 vs Escape

[NaDannMaGoGo]

Oh, void boys were even 1-1? I thought they were already like 0-2 / 0-3. But that's just sad then.
