General DiscussionThe International 5: Discussion Thread

i heard hot 6 won their first series?

I didn't watch it, EG picked Techies again lol

bs was such a disapointment

2 cs in 3 minutes

Goddammit... if i was in CDEC, i would first ban techies after first game, just for the sake of normal game, not this terrorist shit :D

cdec is fucked. sumail goes midas euls min 12 and dk gets like a min 15 first item dagger? like how retarded do you have to be? I hope we get to see an imba all over the place carry qop by fear

well DK got like 4 kills with that blink so it was worth it

Blink on DK is the only reason they are still in this game you retard. If an item doesnt fit in your inventory, it doesn't mean it's bad. I hope all techies pickers lose game tho, holy crap i hate this hero.

sumail just dissapeared and fights aregoing cdec's way.... fear not carrying this game i think xD gg and draw incoming?

we will have to see how good aui is defending and defending high ground?

edit: the problem is not the dagger, the problem is getting it so late but yeah, it has worked nicely because fear hasnt been doing too good on qop and because sumail lacks att speed

nah I dont think CDEC has any chance to win

techies is so fucking broken

Techies should be banned from all game modes, what a retarded fuckin hero. It just changes Dota into "hey guys, lets play Osama bin Laden" game and ruins Dota completely. Also mines have WAY too much dmg and that sign that hides mines should be removed.

I've really enjoyed this TI so far, game quality is top notch, and teams like Navi, IG, VG, Newbee are getting dumpstered all over the place.

Allahu akbar

Its funny to see the guy advocating the 'stop techies' movement spreading cancer himself.
Though, I imagine its not really his decision to pick the hero

You gotta do what you gotta do for 16 mil ( :

Winter Wyvern WHAT a hero.

you dont like techies? BAN HIM

I dont like you too, but techies is whole other lvl Kappa

Will Beastmaster play a more prominent role in the main event?

i hope so, we will probably see fata playing it, c9 really has to pull some nice shit off or they are going home early

VP vs Empire tie breaker for 4th.....el classic....kappa

My VP prediction can still come true, EMPIRE 2-0 VP again, send them to the lower bracket and getting knocked out in a BO1 :D!!!

fnatic/na'vi doing the deed

Empire getting back on Track, great.

Benao u had CDEC at last place in wild card, and they are raping the B group

"Didn't you watch the Chinese Qualifier Finals?"

I HOPED CDEC SUCKED AT QUALIS to get mvp and archon, I expected cdec and EHOME TO SUCK, and who predicted newbee+vg lower bracke, same group as cdec/ehome winner bracket? So why the hate and laughs you stupid fuck. For all we know they got lucky get beaten 2 series straight and end bottom 6, while VP correctly guessed ends up bottom 2 (same as 4). I also predicted col doing good based on the qualifiers and it is showing!, the @fly factor. The surprise for me was LGD really but because i dont follow the chinese scene, they are clearly better than iG/VG right now, lets see how that carries out in the playoff matches.

This fucking turn of events actually led to Empire upper bracket. I feel so sad for VP right now.

Okay, can we say that LGD is in the Upper Bracket Finals? I mean they have to beat Empire and then C9/CDEC, while Secret and EG will face eachother in second round

I actually think Empire is gonna win vs them, but we'll see.

Lmao, lets make a bet.

Upper bracket is going to be really fun to watch!

you can already guess where the teams will end up

Empire is the CIS version of Clown9.

They can stomp or get stomped in any series

S GOD S GOD S GOD S GOD S GOD S GOD S GOD S GOD S GOD S GOD S GOD S GOD S GOD S GOD S GOD S GOD S GOD S GOD S GOD S GOD S GOD S GOD S GOD S GOD S GOD S GOD S GOD S GOD S GOD S GOD S GOD S GOD S GOD S GOD S GOD

I expect a lot of naga bans in the playoffs

Only a few teams really made it shine. Navi had a shot to make it into a game changer and blew it.

its not only that, it counters undy, makes it ez to take down towers/rax, etc and in this meta its too ez to get farm on it as support

Take your seats boys, cause shits gonna get real!
