i hate that the ti is in a c.untry w a low player and fan base. I missed c9 tilt and secrets rape, because im eurofag and actually heff to sleep at night.
... Secret got the talent, they can crumble, or fight back, they'll be tough for IG to beat, but I think Secret will do better against them, it'll be their best foot forward, so no fooling about.
honestly, complexity seems like their mistakes lost them the first game (itemization etc) Second game, they just couldn't keep up with EG. They can beat/lose to VP.
LGD v CDEC, this is going to be fun to watch... team fights , smokes, ganks from min 1! I suspect that they'll choose early push strats if allowed the heroes, otherwise hard carry late game! I suspect Naga bans/picks more.
Every TI year my prediction is in ruins.
TI3 = Didn't predict Alliance to go unbeaten in group stage (Xdddd)
TI4 = Didn't expect Alliance and DK to flop
TI5 = Picked 4 West teams in top 6 Xddd
Why are you all assuming all chinese semis? EG has looked like one of the better teams imo, secret just needs to chill out, and complexity isn't done yet. I thought complexity's drafts were a bit weak or they didn't play them as they should have. Better drafts and they might be ok.
Did we discuss the ddos attack yet? How the fuck do you ddos what should be a closed LAN tourny? I get that there's probably an outside connection for streaming but I really don't understand how ddos could cause lag in the game, since no one should be able to get to those servers. It should just bring down the streaming right?
do you really believe that site with cyber attacks? Because that thing shows you exactly from where the attacks come from. Then police will just llom on dat and knock on hackers doors. You seriously believe its that easy?
It wasn't a joke, it happened. But I guess the architecture of the game is such that it still has connections to the internet even for lan play. Which seems awfully retarded for TI. Doesn't seem that difficult to make a special network and instance of the game that's all local.
they couldve even picked drow last pick mid and raped but noooo lets go viper and build retard shit on him, they couldve gone orchid viper and they wouldve won!
How would Drow do any better than Viper that game? Their problem was they just didn't have good teamfight. And a single last pick wouldn't solve this issue. I still think Puppey should be drafting.
come on lets be honest china has won this TI already
secret and EG are still strong teams
Cloud 9 will part ways after this TI. I can be quite sure of that
Tilt9
Sumail Spirit :-) all that's left is for him to do the Earth Spirit :-D That's all.

BYEBYE CLOWn9
Haha guys, told you Sniper will make a comeback into the meta lmao
^ picked once = meta. ok.
He was a really good pick that game (nether ward, tombstone and sf), doesn't mean they'll pick him the next games though.
Guys, you better watch out. Tonight's results:
2-0 VP
2-1 iG
2-1 EHOME
I'd honestly not be surprised if IG eliminates Secret.
^ the same IG from the groups? Nah, not a chance
EG > Ehome ... that's all

Ohh yeah I forgot that. 2-0 LGD, they just know CDEC inside out.
secret wont lose. they seem to have a bad day once in a while but play very solid otherwise.
ehome win against secret, empire lose to mvp? whats next at this shit ti where it's impossible to predict anything?

lmao
Na'vi plz win.
Oh yeah guys have you seen the new hair Hillary Duff is sporting? So cute :3
this TI is so fucking crazy :D im so pumped for the top 4 matches
something like virtus pro will win in finals with cdec :/
VP>rest of dota scene
would be funny :p
i dont really care who makes it just play your best dota, TI contenders.
i still root for the underdogs :D
I'd like to see MVP end top 4. I think stealing market share in Korea from League of Legends would be good for Dota
G will "kill them all" . Go VP.
G underperformed greatly in the group stages, don't put your rares on him to carry the team.
Oh my fucking god i wake up and C9 is out
Yeah sano this is going to be full china finals
China hack attacks helping Asian teams somehow?
^How? How is any of the delays helping Asian teams?
^they use their asian brains to analyze the game faster than the euro shits and na rednecks
pls no ban mods ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
it's the asian eyes ( ͡ , ͜ʖ, ͡ )
They have less visual information to process allowing them to make quicker judgement than ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
that's racist
It's a joke dammit
ayyy l mao
^ wrong thread.
I was just saying it's odd thing for the Chinese to do unless it's all about stalling games so they can watch them at more Asian friendly times ;)

well...this TI and last Ti were kinda fucked up :p
last years in a bad way and this one in a entertaining way.
You guys should watch @QO play, he's super good :D, my brother and I are like omfg all the time :D

Wtf there are no ddos, it was a joke by redeye.

^ofc its that ez, only thing is everybody who ddos use vpn or a spoofer
if secret had pub picks, shit like wk troll pl, they would have won. instead they pick bane and viper and shti like that vs huge team fight heroes.
if it was vp with last pick, and silencer instead of viper, they would have fucking dominated ehome so bad.
secret lost ?
