For everyone watching at home, that first EG Game was fucking bananas in the arena. Comparable to any sports final I have seen. The competing Chinese and US crowd chants and the whole audience collectively losing their shit to an ever greater degree as that game went on. My god, it made the hell I went through today completely worth it.

Dude it was fucking insane! From minute 1 we were all going back and forth USA USA - EHOME EHOME, fucking we were USA chanting when there was a deward and when PPD ice blasted the beastmaster hawk. It was so incredible. It almost rivaled the crowd at TI5 but that was a grand finals so it is different.

Game 2 though you could have heard a pin drop. There were a couple of people behind blitz and cap that chanted few times, but I think everyone was so exhausted and drained from cheering the 1st game we all just kind of sat and watched.

I got two spectator drops today, pulled the Nyx and Lion versions of the Crimson Witness immortals. Only unfortunate thing is it uses the same spell effect as the regular version and not a cool blood red version of the spell. Kappa. I'd super like the Dazzle one if anyone ends up with it and wants to trade.

I'm quite jealous you got to be there for it... The screams when Universe got the rapier was nuts on stream I can only imagine how it was live. Final should be fantastic this year if this is was any indication.

I don't have a voice at the moment. My brother wants to get up early tomorrow and sit right behind the casters so he can do dumb shit like everyone else is. I prefer sitting way up so I don't have to stare up st the screens.

I think the best part was the ironic USA USA chants from the Chinese fans when someone from EG got picked off. That shit was hilarious.

I'm just glad you got to Seattle for that game Cyrus, I bet you hardly remember the delta mess tonight.

Game was immense live. It just reminds me why I find dota a remarkable game. The fact that at the highest level all the way down to the basement tier, mega creep come backs are real for all. A rare breed, very memorable.

It's why I'm always boggled about the grief esports gets for not being a 'real sport' and 'why would you watch someone play a video game'.

I just show them The Play and that pretty much settles it. Also why are the good games so late in the night, I'm not watching a game on 4am :-/ (Well, I will the finals probably)

If tradition holds you should get a major in 4 months. I wonder if they will repeat Frankfurt or move it this year.

The TI has been close to flawless from a home spectator POV. No dropped streams, games on schedule with minimal delay between games and series, purge is doing a great job with his analysis parts. I like Redeye and think he does a good job on the panel and all the casters are bearable. Also Kaci is doing a great job with the player interviews, hardly any cringe moments with these nerds. Always hate it when interviewers ask complex multi-part questions to players that do not have a firm grasp of the english language or speak though a translator. All in all a great TI.
