I hope MVP make it to the main event, my favorite Korean team.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

I hope MVP make it to the main event, my favorite Korean team.

I hope they at least win this game. They haven't given up yet

 

[shira]

The game should start at 3:22

 

[Chris R]

One awesome Bo3 coming up. Want MVP but these drafts...

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

CDEC was easily the best team today.

 

[Monochromaticx]

uhh cameraman tripped? lol

 

[Unknown Soldier]

So is this newcomer stream listed in the OP a lie or something

 

[rexor0717]

LOL that camera shake.

Well, CDEC looked pretty damn strong there, but I haven't seen them play any "real" teams yet. One thing I can say though is that they had really strong positioning.

 

[Nzyme32]

Cameraman is not drunk

 

[kionedrik]

CDEC clearly deserved to go ahead. MVP and Vega are on equal footing but I think Vega are the favorites.

So is this newcomer stream listed in the OP a lie or something

Isn't that only on the main event?

 

[Saprol]

camera bumping into something lol

So is this newcomer stream listed in the OP a lie or something

guess they aren't doing it for this wildcard qualifier

Once a day during the main event, we're putting together a special broadcast featuring a live match with special commentary aimed at easing people into understanding the exciting world of Dota.

No noob stream till the main event according to Pyrion - however Purge is doing the next game, probably not too noob friendly though

This stuff is during the main event but not the actual games, which is going to be a good thing for getting people up to speed for the actual games

 

[cloudzack117]

what time does the next game start?

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Thanks guys. I tried to watch a match just now and I had no idea what was going on, welp

 

[NEO0MJ]

The prize pool for this thing is crazy. It's 58 times the total Evo prize pool.

 

[Acinixys]

Thanks guys. I tried to watch a match just now and I had no idea what was going on, welp

Yeah

Dota is not a game you can just start watching

The burden of knowledge is insane.

Which is why CSGO is the more popular spectator esport

 

[Drkirby]

March

 

[trw]

Thanks guys. I tried to watch a match just now and I had no idea what was going on, welp

Hope you give it a chance when the newcomer stream is live, there really is no game that has so varied games to watch as dota.

 

[Haunted]

All in on Team Secret this year.

Kurooooo

 

[Symphonic]

When are the secret shop things going to be available for non attendees?

 

[shira]

When are the secret shop things going to be available for non attendees?

it was a few months for TI4 stuff to be in stock

So is this newcomer stream listed in the OP a lie or something

I guess it's only for the main event.

 

[Tenebrous]

MVP vs Vega live now.

 

[Chris R]

That break was so long ;_;

Live now, picks almost done

 

[Tenebrous]

Rooting for MVP. No idea why. I've no idea who any of these teams are.

Go MVP!

 

[NaDannMaGoGo]

You have lvl 1 doppelganger and use it to dive for the 1.5k networth BH.

Why would you do that.

 

[Tenebrous]

All the wild card matches seem to be more aggressive with higher/quicker kills than any of the previous TI's I've watched. Am I just imaging it, or is there some reason for the change?

The reduced gold from creeps, if nothing else, is one such reason. Easier to deathball off a few hero kills and stay ahead.

MVP can't catch a break, it seems.

All of the changes in 6.84 make team fighting far more valuable than farming creeps.

The AoE gold and xp change leads to more farmed supports who can make more impact in team fights.

The nerf to creep gold means that passively farming can't really get you a giant advantage.

Vega player wearing rolled up jorts.

 

[NaDannMaGoGo]

Wow that was the worst support play I've seen in a while.

 

[rexor0717]

What was that body block? Seems like a hard choke.

 

[NaDannMaGoGo]

What was that body block? Seems like a hard choke.

That was a ~2s body block from a dazzle who came to save the enigma...

The best thing is, he had grave and heal ready too but didn't use either, not even upon blocking enigma for so long. Seriously I would've raged bad if a support failed this badly on me.

 

[Omega Kirby]

Can I be added to the train?

 

[Shorty11857]

Games have been pretty good today, going to miss most of the group stages but hope Col don't get completely crushed in every game and that C9 do well although

seems more likely

 

[iamblades]

What is this game even?

 

[QFNS]

CDEC deserves their spot. They looked miles better than the other 3 teams today.

This MVP.Phoenix v Vega game is going places. Much better than Game 1.

 

[iamblades]

Get out the scuba gear, we going diving boys.

 

[Tenebrous]

That escape was awesome.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

See ya suckas - Wisp

 

[Chris R]

MVP throwing this away Playing like one of my pubs lol

 

[SamuraiX-]

Do we have a GAF Twitch chat setup or is everybody just watching in-client?

 

[call_kotaku]

644?

 

[Deadly]

[Metroidvania]

This game is fucking insane.

Holy shit.

edit:

RAPIER TIME BOYS!

 

[Shorty11857]

[jediyoshi]

[Tenebrous]
