General DiscussionTHE BOSTON MAJOR !!!!

Another reason to waste my money feelsgoodman. Making gaben rich is our only goal.

Making? Isnt he alrdy?

hahaha hope they change the compendium challanges, task etc...

time for some major boosting

another gaben "COOKIE".. :D Boost me for free . Joke :D

wait will there be another mmr thing ?

i thought this was gonna be just a battle pass, not a compendiu,

ABOUT THE mmr THING ? iDK bro.. but gaben is so cleaver. mYBE YES,MAYBE NO..

wait I am so confused, are we only getting two majors now this season?

Dire Wolfy, yeah

3 majors .. fall, winter, spring then ---> TI7

remember frankfurt then shanghai,then manila major then ti6 . correct me if im wrong

2 majors

Yeah that's what we had last year but it looks like valve is skipping one this year.

still no news of mk's release, fucking hell valve.

when do the open quals start?

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/dota2/Boston_Major/2016

october 23rd. There's a typo in there though, june 4th.

Open Qualifiers - October 23rd - October 26th, 2016
Main Qualifiers - October 27th - October 30th, 2016
Group Stage - December 3rd - June 4th, 2016
Main Event - December 7th - December 10th, 2016

It's also going to be a much quicker tournament, all teams enter a 16 team single elimination tournament, no upper bracket. Which is actually pretty fucking awesome, it's like march madness dota style. Although all matches will be bo3 no single elimination matches.

thanks

Single Elimination sounds shit to me

well it makes group stages not as important, but it adds excitement to the whole thing. Much more upset potential from the get go.

Looks promising! Let's see if they can beat the last major's hype.

single elimination sounds good ..

might go if i can get flight tickets and if playrs get 2 extras

I'd rather go to Seattle than Boston in December, but event is 3 days vs 5.

new compendium=new hats, over saturation in items
