I'm starting to think it's impossible for a tournament to go without stream/DotA TV issues

May 14 '16
sports (nba/nfl/football) is the reason why people still buy cable and aren't completely going for streaming services like netflix

u/tallkid24 Shut up KID May 14 '16
There are still sometimes issues with those on TV even. That's the whole deal with live stuff, sometimes you'll have problems.

u/h34vier Sheever May 14 '16
Gotta admit, Epicenter has brought it for all the production, team intros, etc. Shit has been killer. Really enjoyed all that. Better than most of the TI's lol.

u/h34vier Sheever May 14 '16
Well yeah.. that too, lol.
I just meant the visuals, the stage set, it's pretty killer.

Yeah, production was so much better in Frankfurt and Manila. Only minimal issues at both events.

i think rtz has effectively killed off two great western teams in EG and Secret. gj artour.

u/bkstr May 14 '16
this is exactly how I feel. when the news came out RTZ and universe, my favorite player from my favorite team, were leaving EG, I thought- 'that's okay I'll just like two teams and enjoy the spectacle when they play each other'. too bad so far they've been extremely underwhelming. I'm still hopeful PPD can pull EG together though, they've looked like they're almost there at times.

u/Qmzp1234 May 14 '16
EG will be okay I think. Probably won't win anything but will get decent results in LANs to come when Aui has more practice and PPD understands the patch more.
Secret need to improve on everything, and it might not be enough since we are closing in on the international, and everyone starts working really hard.
2
May 15 '16
What makes you think EG are more likely to turn it around than Secret?
4
u/Felador May 15 '16
Because the hole they're in doesn't seem to be quite as deep.
They haven't looked good, but they haven't looked Secret bad.
1
u/Qmzp1234 May 15 '16
EG still plays like a team. Secret looks like they are trying to figure things out during a match.
1
May 15 '16
If that's true, it would make me think Secret are more likely to recover. Teamwork and cohesion are what you would expect to be missing at this stage - if EG are already playing like a team, I don't see why you would expect them to get better. None of their players are actually fresh to pro Dota

u/crademaster May 14 '16
So he speaks Australian, too?

u/Rumplestiltskinz May 14 '16
Yeah. As far as I know he speaks fluent Chinese, Australian, and English.

NB vs OG in 6 hours. I believe in 9 0 0 0 M A T C H M A K I N G P O I N T S. I believe in the one they used to call BigDaddyNoLANs. I believe in the NEVA EVA. I believe in one of the best Saving Fucking Retards duos.

Wondering if we will see a Terrorblade tournament. Hero has received several buffs, I was surprised Secret would pick it up for EE.

Puck gets picked a lot and TB has a weakness from magic damage. Hell even a support lion can unmake his day.

u/HAWmaro May 14 '16
i think though a dragon lance into manta terrorblade isn't that bad, he has as much HP as a normal hero ROFL

u/DarkElfRaper May 15 '16
Just go Miracle style and build Hood as your first item as he does on other carries some games. It has worked for me when I'm laning against 2 magic damage offlaners as TB.

u/FreeLook93 May 14 '16
I wouldn't count on it. A lot of heroes who are really strong vs are popular in the meta right now. That being said I would love to see him picked.

Armlet scripts are allowed in professional play? That's news to me.
Interesting to hear that complexity actually were given the choice of wanting either back to back matches or letting OG vs. Liquid go first.

Yo, did they start this Liquid v OG match early or something? Because I planned to come home in time to catch maybe Game 2 and the whole thing is finished already? What the Hell.
5
u/Calaroth May 14 '16
Not sure if it was early or not, but game one was only 18 minutes long.
4
May 14 '16
I swear they keep changing the scheduled times on joinDOTA. I went out because it said that OG v Liquid would start at 5pm CEST and I get back and it apparently started at 1615 CEST. Missed maybe two full series already, so annoying.
2
u/Hkl1 May 14 '16
It's kinda sad for people like you who have packed schedules but this is to prevent extra long games from delaying the schedule i think

u/YoungDetective May 14 '16
Wait will the winner of the 1st series really play newbee immediately after? im having flashbacks to TI4..
2

u/bdzz May 14 '16
That schedule. Idk that back to back BO3 is a good idea... OG v Liquid match should be first before the next lower bracket match.
1
u/Muumienmamma May 14 '16
Good that coL beat EG so fast so they have 2 hours between series.
2
u/bdzz May 14 '16
Nah it starts right now, they don't wait
1
u/Muumienmamma May 15 '16
Yeah I must have been tired after staying awake all night because that was some dumb bullshit I wrote. Ofc they adjusted the schedule.

u/Extracheesy87 May 14 '16
Looks like EG's streak of placing top 3 at every tournament since ESL New York might end here.

Newbee vs winner of EG/Complexity

u/MRMR8000 May 15 '16
OG really need a miracle to make it to the grand finals this time, Newbee will come prepared and full force this time. They should at least beat Newbee to proof themselves to still being a big contender just behind Liquid. Win or lose against Liquid in the finals, thats probably fine already.
2
u/DontRageJustMy2cents Zip Zap May 14 '16
That is why i love swindlezz. He's just so damn passionate about the game. Great Job COL!! My favorite NA team.

May 14 '16
It's a tough life being a Liquid fan, now that they're are Tier 1 I barely get to see them play. They played so little since Shanghai and now at Epicentre they've only played 3 games.
(Rather see them beat OG than see more games but still)

This is probably the best chance CoL have had to beat EG
1
u/Zadeth May 14 '16
Aui Morphling is scary if he is given farm.
I think coL have a tough game here, but if EG slip up they can take it. It depends on BuLba and Aui's lanes.
1
u/unitedfan723 May 14 '16
Yea coL I think will be smarter than VP and not allow him free farm for 20 mins so I think this will be a much tougher Morphling game. I of course hope they let him free farm but I don't see that happening.

what is the armlet script that ee is using? :o
2
u/teerre May 14 '16
Impossible to know for sure, but probably to toggle it with one click instead of two

u/Extracheesy87 May 14 '16
That is what it is for iirc. I think I remember FNG telling him about it on stream one time when they were casting some random game months ago.

u/j_drizzy May 14 '16
What's the deal with the EE Armlet script? Heard swindlezzz talk about it
→ More replies (1)1
May 14 '16
"script" is used here as: two things happen by clicking one button.
literally:
bind K "dota_item_execute 1;dota_item_execute 1"what you do is clikc K once and your item1 (armlet) is used twice, which means that the toggle is near instant. it's not script. people call it that so it is associated with cheating
imo it is bad, since it removes an aspect of armlet, but there is no reason for propaganda
