DOTA 2

Archon's supports seem super bad.

JFC, $17 million+!?

We're going to see these kids live in LA style mansions driving Bentley's answering the question "So, how'd you afford such a lifestyle? What do you do?" with "I won The International one time." The future is now boys. I am excite.

I'm surprised analysts suggesting top-8 for CDEC, both MVP and Vega were able to take sizeable leads during times they were weaker and I don't think more than 1-2 teams in the group stage would make the mistakes that let them get back into the game.

Edit: Was anyone able to get the dota2.com streaming to work? I tried initially but only had 'loading...'

Edit: Also amusing to see all the dota2 personalities posting 17%

the capitalist screaming is cringey as fuck

Quite a few fun games today out of the wildcard.

Way better than last year at least

Can't believe they picked slardar. Never pick slardar.

Archon vs MVP game 2 and MVP vs Vega Game 2 were some of the most interesting games I've seen in awhile. If this is a taste of the drama we may see with some of the upper tier teams I'm very excited for the rest of the tournament.

I'm surprised by the amount of aggressive trilanes and lack of bloodseeker

I think the issue was actually the Windranger, she takes too many items to deal serious damage I don't think I've seen any game where she has a high impact in quite a while. As I watched it I was thinking, imagine if this WR was a TA.

Best thing about MVP being in TI5 is we get to keep the Korean hype-casters

True, although now you double-down ;p

Blink ember is kinda good

C9 gonna C9.

That LGD and C9 game was pretty fun. Toby needs to save some of his energy and enthusiasm for games later in the tourney though. Take a chill pill bro.
