Nice to see 18 teams making it in to the full thing this year. And 3 from SEA! That'll be fun.

 

[sleverfunk]

Hopefully OG will not be in TI form.

why is Odd in NA?

I guess IG did win DAC

Well if ig still play like shit this TI like in their previous games then they would not get far anyway.

 

[Guru-Guru]

I'm digging having 18 teams for the group stage. And for the first time since TI2, I'll actually be living back in the same time zone as Seattle, so I can watch most of the games.

 

[Shorty11857]

IG finished top 4 at Kiev so not too surprising. Like the 18 team format

Y'ALL READY FOR THE BLOODBATH

IT'S OPEN QUALIFIERS SEASON BOIIIIIIIIS

 

[waxinlyrical]

I suppose we knew this already with Wings dissolving, but it is weird to not have a defending champion team invited back.

SEA gets THREE invites? EH.................. IDK

I know they don't have a direct invite, but don't know if they deserve three invites.

edit: CIS 2nd and NA 3rd should do a Bo3 for the spot taken by 3rd SEA.

 

[doctorcdcs]

It's "Chillhop"

https://chillhop.lnk.to/listenGM was the link I got from Twitch

cool! thank you!

 

[Sigismundo]

Clutch looks lost. TNC/Faceless/Fnatic for the SEA qualifiers.

why is Odd in NA?

Odd still plays out of North America, and have been playing in North America for like 18 months now, just changing their name twice.

Sea also has not Invited Team, so 3 invites kinda makes since.

I am pretty happy they are getting rid of the wild card, and just incorporating the extra teams into the round robin.

 

[neurosisxeno]

Not when you consider how weak any teams other than Faceless and TNC are. Clutch had a good run in qualifiers but got absolutely stomped at every LAN they went to, and Fnatic has the name recognition but continuously fails to win qualifiers.

 

[Chris R]

Anyone have an idea why my typing would quit mid match???

Spell and item hot keys still worked, but I couldn't type at all

Spoiler

dotos way of telling me to use my fucking mic and stop playing non-ranked where I get matched against people 1k mmr above me?

What a difference 100 mmr makes. Plunged back into 3.8k and every carry under the sun tilts at the first death. Then they afk gg ez -25.

My god. What' are the FoTM picks aside from Bristle? I might just spam that guy.

Guess its time to learn Underlord

 

[Chris R]

Also, for TI, it says "Double Elimination" but surely they mean the same setup as last year and not a TRUE double elimination setup right?

Are you talking about grand finals?

Or starting the main event with teams already in the losers bracket?

There's not enough time to do a 16 team, 6 day full Bo3 double elimination bracket unless it's a Bo1 format

Aside from TI4 Lower Bracket has lately been Bo1 for the first round LB

Ya, I'm guessing it's the exact same format from last year, but that isn't a true double elimination.

Whatever tho

Well I'm back to the never ever going to win a fucking game again phase of dota ugh

Tinker with 19k net worth in a 70 min game

Also, fuck 70 min games

edit: The Fantasy tab in Open Dota is neat. Formula needs tweaking though, 16 obs shouldn't be worth more points than 26 kills.
