Like seeing a few CK picks today better than the same old same old

It's it just me or is the client really buggy? haven't played for some time but there's been a huge amount of updates and the game chugs really bad- it wasn't doing this last year

 

[neurosisxeno]

coL beat DC? They may have finally gotten it together. Would love to see coL and NP qualify.

You mean your teammates throwing pubs to get you 10k MMR isn't useful TI7 Qualifier practice?

6+ wins and you probably win your group

M19 is funn1k's Open Qualifier stack
Planet Dog is half Elements/half Prodota Open Qualifier stack

Crazy.

I'm going to strangle the Charmin bear with his own toilet paper

 

[neurosisxeno]

Would love to see coL win out this qualifier. If they only lose to NP I'm okay with it. I kinda dislike Planet Odd, and DC is really inconsistent, plus I don't care much for their players--and want Bulba as an analyst at TI.

 

[Chris R]

NP throwing ;_;

 

[neurosisxeno]

NP throwing ;_;

That's what happens when you take that lineup and don't end it before like 30 minutes. AM comes online on top of Jugg being a constant threat all game. NP's lineup was designed to fight early and snowball--clearly that didn't work as intended considering EE's low NW.

 

[Sigismundo]

[A] has nobody left that I hate and Era's cool. I guess I don't hate them anymore?

[neurosisxeno]

Why not? They are probably 2-3x better than any other team in the EU Qualifier...

Wait, they lost to Mouz? Jesus christ Secret...

Yeah I wonder how they lost, I missed that game.

 

[Eldon]

Yeah I wonder how they lost, I missed that game.

Bristleback(MP) laned against Nature's Prophet with no stout, got killed at lvl1. OD laned mid vs Invoker(Midone), and that's another lane won by Mouz.

They for sure underestimated Mouz.

My faceless prediction is not going well, FUCK

thanks, I should watch the highlights.

btw, anyone feels this current coverage underwhelmed, like CIS and China not even covered by bts and moonduck, and then why the hell they need to cover the same game all the time, they should spread out the coverage.

[Wok]

I have just played against that guy. He was solo mid with a 4-stack.



It is a bit sad. Maybe he will try again in 2019. This game can be brutal.

 

[Guru-Guru]

I'm confused too. Please don't give Machine hosting duties for TI7...

Why was he blacklisted by valve anyway?

 

[gai_shain]

Why was he blacklisted by valve anyway?

why would you think he was blacklisted?

 

[Guru-Guru]

Why was he blacklisted by valve anyway?

Nah, I vaguely remember him mentioning that Valve wanted to keep their events fresh by having different casters/hosts, rather than giving Redeye the hosting gig at everything. It makes sense, but honestly, he's the best host IMO and should have TI.

 

[Monochromaticx]

why would you think he was blacklisted?

He disappeared from all valve events since ti . Now he won't host ti. Seems odd since he was pretty good at hosting

 

[shira]

Valve doesn't belive in 3's?

Faceless losing must-win game vs Geek Fam (bamboe stack) https://www.twitch.tv/beyondthesummit3
edit: FL needs tiebreaker with Xctn to advance to playoffs


TNC vs fnatic for TI invite https://www.twitch.tv/beyondthesummit

 

[bbd23]

had TNC first hope they win

faceless is disappointing me..I put them second zzzz

 

[close to the edge]

Pretty cool that BTS invited Tsunami and Lyrical, they are really good.

Pretty crazy going from casting Neogaf inhouse league to BTS, but he's got the supersexy voice and the commitment

 

[ScribbleD]

This OD is getting punished so hard for going Orb first into Essence. Bottom 2 networth at 11 minutes as solo mid.

He was like a hair off from killing Puck early in laning phase and that might have shifted things in a big way.

yeah, I really enjoy their cast - I think they complement each other well.

EHOMEK 2-3
EHOME 2-3

Looks bad for rotk

 

[shira]

Looks like BTS1 will be FL vs Xctn elimination tiebreaker

EU big matches coming up
Dog(5-2) vs Secret(5-1)
Secret(5-1) vs danish bears(5-2)
mouz(5-2) vs sng(5-2)

EU top 5 looks to be a mix of those teams - with Secret in the driver seat for top seed(qualify for TI7)

 

[ScribbleD]

I'm loving this cast on the main BTS channel. They've all been so loose and making this a lot more fun.

My only issue is that it looks like they are casting in a Basement. They could use a slightly nicer looking setup.

they have an analyst desk, I guess they want the basement look
