DOTA 2

This iteration of EG is fun to watch, just don't think they will win anything. They need to do the Secret thing and grind out some qualifiers, since I'm sure part of their performance is how few matches they played.

cr1t can't draft like salt factory PPD can ;_;

edit: stop taking sumails kills, i need to win that prediction for most killss!!!!!!!!!

EG schooling in this third game. It is one of the more lopsided games I've seen this Major.

Zai trying to make space for 4 players.... though they also keep drafting supports that can't do much in lane.

Is it just me or is Ana underwhelming? He's one of the 9k club but his individual play doesn't feel up to bar set by the others.

Where is Wings btw?

Wings is now Team Random or w.e

This Major is super confusing

DC -> Thunderbirds
Onyx -> DC
Wings -> Random
Ad Finem -> Mousesports

So far it's Ad Finem -》dumpster for them. That's what happens when you play in nothing after the major though I suppose.

Saw Nahaz's podcast mentioning how the major Chinese teams have played in 4x as many competitive games since the last major as the rest of top teams, so its no surprise from DAC as well that teams like IG are dominating atm.

So..... Secret, the dream is real again?

They can still bomb in the first round of elimination, but it seems they have the strats to beat the best. I want to see the next game, since I don't think IG was drafting and playing correctly and they will adapt.

IG off to a terrible start, also having your super play maker Boboka on a Treant is.... bad. He has very limited potential to play to his skill cap on that hero.

Secret looks really good, the fuck all your midas strats seems legit

Wow, that was pretty convincing, I think Secret just became a top 3 candidate.

Well, they are now 1st seed, so they won't meet VP before the finals. They rolled IG, and OG is looking really shaky. Dropped games to both SG/Wingz. Are only OG/Secret allowed to win Majors!?!

Do they play one more round or are they done with 3-0 ? There might be a difference between running into VGJ and SG in the first round ...

3-0 and 0-3 are done.

Also, this Kudalini game is killing me. "3 Days to Roster Lock" lololol.

Edit: And this Wingz v OG game is crazy back and forth.

So... China has 1 team with a winning record out of 3 invites and 2 qualified. Seems like they're getting too many slots....

Be careful saying that before the tournament is over.

This DC vs Liquid game is such a shitshow.
