There has been a long build up to the international 3. You can get pro player cards as drops after matches which tells you their favorite heroes, best matches, among other things. In the past week I've learned quite a bit about others teams. Been watching some Sing streams too and becoming a fan. I find him funny.

Start with the International 2 recap Valve created from last years tournament:

I just know it

 

[Sokantish]

I don't like that Soka has been influencing my gaming choices lately. I stayed up way too late playing Civ 5 last night, and I'm also going through Persona 4 Golden.

On the road right now, hoping the portable Twitch app works as well as it did yesterday. Need to keep up on Doto action today since this is when the real deal starts.

I see the match ups on join dota, how exactly does this break down? I watched a recap of last years international and noticed it had 8 teams in a group and the top 4 teams moved on. Same way this year? How are wins/losses tracked? Per game or per series?

Civ V GOTG

[Somnia]

OMG so much fucking Dota what do I do?!?!?!

 

[Splat]

What does it mean that dota2 prelims are best of 2? that doesn't even make sense.

"Best of 2" is really a dumb phrase and I wish these tournaments would stop using it. It's group stages and they do a round robin where each team plays two matches against every other team to determine the standings.

 

[Mrbob]

The way I understand it the 4 teams with the highest total number of wins moves on out of 14 total games.

Browsing joindota waiting for games to start, this is too funny:

Player and team drama.

Someone explain Sing to me. He is a pro Dota gamer but isn't part of any team?

I notice he is commentating on games again today.

 

[eznark]

Let's take the GOOS pro!

He's former Mouz, former QPAD (which I guess isn't even a team anymore) and is now a member of Kaipi.

 

[Splat]

Dendi w/ 78 LHs 10 min in, good lord.

 

[mastershake]

Go Orange!
Go Liquid!

That's why I was not gonna watch it but I just picked no broadcaster.

 

[Somnia]

Switching over to IG/RS I am curious to see how IG is looking

 

[eznark]

Is Sheever twelve years old or something? This is terrible.

 

[LukeSmith]

Is Sheever twelve years old or something? This is terrible.

RS/iG is the game to watch

 

[mastershake]

Is Sheever twelve years old or something? This is terrible.

Luke/AT put her to shame and they've cast like 3 games in their lifetime.

You'd think there would be a better option for the 4th casting team but i guess not. I will nominate Luke/AT for TI4!

edit---

Orange and Liquid both getting rolled... not a good day for my TEAMS

 

[eznark]

Lol I had no idea Sheever was a woman. I just assumed it was a super young kid.

God Liquid is hot gutter piss.

 

[LukeSmith]

Actually, LGD/Alliance is the game to watch

 

[eznark]

Tuning into LGD - Alliance. Go China!!

 

[mastershake]

Lifestealer is going to get hit hard with the nerf stick after TI3


omg this shit is so fun bouncing around all these streams with all these teams playing. Feel like a kid in a candy store!

edit---

scythe of vyse on NP in the Alliance game

Need it. Want it. Gotta have it.

 

[Somnia]

Yep for sure, IG/RS is turning into another blowout

edit: or not, RS is fighting back

 

[eznark]

Singsing is basically the red zone channel right now. Pretty cool.

 

[Mrbob]

Yup. That's why I'm watching the Sing stream.

The in game announcer voice was bugging me, sounded so familiar. Couldn't place it until now. It's the guy from Bastion, isn't it?

 

[mastershake]

LIQUID LETS GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

 

[LukeSmith]

The Sheever/Nerd combo is awful, I'm just gonna switch to a foreign language

 

[Mrbob]

Fucking A Sing get that broadcaster overlay off the middle of the screen.

 

[mastershake]

omg YESSSSSSS

I am getting way more hype over this than i thought i would

edit---

EAT A DIIIIIIIIIICK EZ!!!!

 

[mastershake]

Dignitas rolling now too!

Glad Liquid was able to take at least one game of the set, they're going to have bigger problems than VP though. They didn't even look that great in the win either.

Yeah played scared almost...

Korok getting caught out stupidly a few times as well as the hard carry alch. One was madden gaf tier. VP just gave up a T1 on the other side of the map for free and there was no VP on the map. Korok pushes out the 'safe' lane solo to farm with no vision. Free gold for VP :/

 

[McNei1y]

go team

 

[BigAT]

Zhou must have watched my LD replays.

 

[Somnia]

LGD.cn vs DK
Mouz vs Navi
Fnatic vs Zenith

all at once... come on that is just not fair
