hypeeeeeee

 

[LiQuid!]

Do people really care about all the pre-match analysis?

Probably not so much, but it's expected. It's hype building. It's the pre-game, talking-heads for 3 hours before the Super Bowl starts. If they just dove right into the games with no pomp and pageantry it would feel cheap. It needs to feel like we've waited a year for this.

[Dreams-Visions]

Good point.

Nothing says, "wow wtf" to a thread passer-by like $17,468,020, followed by

I don't know of any app but Liquipedia is the best for tracking results and stuff.

 

[Fou-Lu]

People said the same thing last year and Liquid had a good run.

Also not a huge fan of the host so far. Hopefully he gets better as the tournament goes.

I forgot Liquid got in through wildcard last year. Good point.

well I mean, this isn't really the super bowl though is it? It's the wild card matches. Super bowl would be the finals.

Anyway I just find it boring having to listen to all this random fluff analysis, adds nothing for me personally. Just give me hype casters, live audience and good matches. That be infinitely more hype building than this ever could.

[Tart Toter 9k]

Do we know if you still get items by watching the twitch stream or is it only the in-game stream that awards effigies and items?

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Did Archon gg out? Their draft was unwinnable with. Not sure wth they were thinking.

 

[Chris R]

Dat hook, Vega look like they are going to stomp

 

[Tenebrous]

How the feck did ES not die there?

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Ember's positioning was a little cocky, wasn't it

How the feck did ES not die there?

He had a defensive remnant and Dazzle Shallow Graved him until Disruptor's ult ran out. I knew he'd survive when the Shallow Grave came.
