For the sake of my bracket I need them to choke. Nothing personal.

 

Nature's prophet! That pick got a good cheer

 

Oh shit Bone7 courier snipe.

 

That happens a lot with CIS teams imo. Objective gaming isn't that big apparently, with Rosh being a possible exception. Chinese teams, NA and a few european teams are much better at this.

 

RIP NaVi.
RIP Newbee.

How the hell does NB lose to MVP Phoenix... How the mighty have fallen. It's kinda depressing. That team is so talented, and it got wasted on grinding random Chinese MMOs.

 

I never expected Newbee to make it far at all. The result isn't too surprising to me. I'm pretty sure they have internal issues in their team. Or they lack a strong captain. Xiao8 was an integral part of it last year.

NaVi... same thing. I'm not a fan of Artstyle's captaining. Frankly, they need to get their shit together. Definitely won't be staying with the same roster.

The C9 games? Well, a day in the life of a C9 fan is a rollercoaster of emotions. I can't seriously support them, as it's just too hard on my already questionable heart. I can't help but root for them every time though.

Honestly, this days games haven't interested me too much. Secret and EG's games. Those are going to be very interesting.

 

I thought Empire vs LGD was good, at least what I saw of it. DK makes for really interesting games because he forces the team to play around his ult, which in the midgame totally changes the dynamic of the game.

 

Oh yeah, that series was actually really enjoyable to watch. Best of the day so far imo. (Didn't see Navi or MVP play)

I wasn't sure what to expect there, but great Dota, which is the most important thing for me. C9 vs CDEC was not great Dota.

I feel like Empire should of taken that series, if they hadn't made a few key mistakes.

 

Yea, they definitely should have had g1, but they gave LGD an inch, and when you do that vs a Xiao8 team you get punished hard.

Fnatic throwing a curveball at VP in their Bo1. Mushi on the support Naga, Kecik playing SF mid. Working out so far.

 

Yeah I thought that was odd.

Going for VP here. They've played really well lately, and I think they'll do better than Fnatic later on.

This game is just... lol. Fanatic know they need to make something happen, but what's actually happening they just keep running at VP and then dying.

 

Easy IG vs Hot Sex. Gonna bet 60$ worth in D2l for some ez bugattis. Already won 30 off the VP vs Fnatic fight. Mushi got raped face lol. Naga/Ds combo. So TI3

 

Fnatic vs VP was kind of depressing to watch. For 15 minutes Fnatic did the "avoid fights around DK ult" dance perfectly, traded towers, and built a lead. Then they took 2 consecutive bad fights in the pit and gave the lead back to VP. And VP did a beautiful job not giving an inch and closing out that lead.

 

Totally rooting for MVP here.

 

Looking to be an easy game for IG. PL for late game and Sf for mid game. MVP has nothing to answer for those 2

 

God I hate Redeye as a caster/panel thing. Anyway, as far as game went, god that Na'vi vs. VG game was amazing. Lot of good decision making by Xboct. I'm not a big fan of him, I felt a lot of time that Xboct had been the reason Na'vi was throwing some game, but in this one he stepped up and did what he had to do. A pathetic performance by Artstyle though.

Empire vs. LGD was a very interesting match up as well. That Silent AM was one of a kind.

 

EG vs CoL grudgematch coming up. Really hope these games are close.

 

These opening ceremonies are sooo long.

 

Sweet Zombie Jesus Valve, get your technical shit together.

 

I don't really get this Octarine rush after Agh's on QoP from coL but maybe they decided they don't feel like winning game 1.

I'm really hoping C9 gets KO'd super early just so I can see the reactions and the interviews EE inevitably gives. Given how much they're choking it might just happen, although I feel like Na'Vi would have been stronger against them than VG since they're so good at splitting the map and punishing 5man.

I'd also hope EG got taken out for the same reason, but I don't think I could stand the smug Secret bandwagoners going on about it if they win so I'm rooting for EG to take it all.

 

Sorry, K-God will take it.
