EG losing on a few too many fronts.

Ember's propensity for feast-or-famine hurt them when Fear got gibbed twice early.

edit: Ofc they get 2 while I type that, lol.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

I went into a coma and missed everything

What are some good games to watch? I missed everything after VP vs Newbee game 1.

A couple of amazing Rubick perfomances today.

 

[cripterion]

Fuck had to sleep and tuned out just when group B was about to start playing. Man there's not enough time to watch the games, why can't they space them more. What happened to C9, did they provide more laughs?

 

[Drkirby]

Er silent, what are you doing?

 

[shira]

I for one welcome our new Korean overlords

 

[Chris R]

[Radec]

Holy fuck. Game changing echo.

 

[K.Sabot]

the 20k echo

 

[bounchfx]

I absolutely love how even most of these matches seem to be going, with the exception of a few. It looks like we gonna have a real serious tournament ahead of us boys

Cloud9 vs LGD games 1 and 2 are probably better than any games

We've barely even started too

Just give it some time until the crazy picks start coming

 

[Drkirby]

So many Rapiers today

 

[FlutterPuffs]

Thanks! They're not up on YouTube though, a pity.

I love the games so far but my only criticism is that the same heroes keep getting picked. Every game seems to have Gyrocopter, clockwork, Earthshaquer...

oh yeah absolutely. I'm sure we will see some crazy strats start to come out during the main event.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

Empire with the Divine Rapier throw

 

[Xeteh]

the 20k echo

Between Sonneiko and yoky... these Earthshakers are making some plays.

 

[Radec]

These TI games man.

 

[Metroidvania]

Empire absolutely needed to backdoor with Io.

 

[bounchfx]

Empire absolutely needed to backdoor with Io.

I was waiting for this, and it just never happened. Even lina was down there at the end. I'm really surprised they didn't go for that

gotta get EE on their team

 

[sephi22]

Watching Stream#2 on the dota2.com player.
This shit's the future mang

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

It's not that other heroes are weak, the issue is that a couple of heroes are just way stronger.

 

[call_kotaku]

Outside of C9, all the games I watched today have had really excellent execution in the majority of fights. It puts into perspective how good T1 teams really are

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

MVP Hot6's aegis steal

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Huskar on the second stream

Also Timbersaw

Edit: Someone invite me back into the Dotagaf twitch chat: LegendCobra. I'm somehow not in anymore.

 

[bounchfx]

vg, as they say, 'gave up the goat'

XD

LGD is the real winner of todays group stage. I wonder how they'll fare vs other teams

Edit: Someone invite me back into the Dotagaf twitch chat: LegendCobra. I'm somehow not in anymore.

same. Is the chat closed?

[Uriah]

Great games today. So many rapiers.

 

[cripterion]

Damn, the broadcast of main event died on Steam.

 

[TUSR]

probably because they pushed an update to fix lobby names

 

[nubbe]

emergency balance patch?

 

[Monochromaticx]

MIssed the second half of matches

newbee took a game off EG?

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Envy walking to the enemy side shop and casually buying a fucking rapier was the single most shocking thing I've seen in over 2.5 years of Dota.

 

[kionedrik]

Great games so far and quite a few surprises.

The bar is certainly set up high this year.

 

[patapuf]

I feel teams are better prepared than ever before. Even "tier 2" teams seem to have really good execution this time around.

 

[ashecitism]

I really like the Dota 2 Live Streaming beta. I just wish it worked on Firefox. It works flawlessly in-game, where you can either watch it through the today tab or just live stream it.

I can't decide.

You can enable it in FF, just enter about:config and toggle the media.mediasource.whitelist setting to false.

My problem is I can't access the navigation bar on the vid (I can do that with Chrome). The layout needs work.
