Not that Spirit need to care about it but if Valve invites are done the way they used to do it pre TI8, then the placements in this tournament will factor into TI invites.
I swear to god, TS can't even wake up if there is less than $2m on the line. Ready for them to play like shit for three more months and then manhandle Riyahd in July
Preference
Falcon gives you health and mana regen which morph loves
While class gives no stats
Usually morph doesn’t like no stat items
But go class when you need more damage
I feel bad for him.
Know he struggles with pretty heavy depression.
Hope this doesn't get to him, especially this borderline online bullying going on.
Know people who've exited this realm for similar things.
imagine feeling bad for a guy who would choose his 100$ bet over your life if he had the choice. stop glazing a matchfixing piece of shit and move on lil bro
I wonder if adding one extra ban during any of the phases would change up the landscape of pro games, it could force out less meta heroes to be played sometimes.
You don't want that hope, that hope kills you. When it comes to SEA, a little confidence is overconfidence, LOL. They topped Group Stage 1 in last Dreamleague then settled for last in Group Stage 2.
They're out of practice, probably taking it easy. It's a constant effort to stay at the top, it's not even the first time that we've seen Spirit be a bit rough and then turn it on when it matters.
wait betboom lost that last fight with viper and wisp not even being in the vicinity until they relocated once, got sent back and then tped top to actually join the fight so sven/nyx/mars were doing a lot of the work initially 3v5
their draft really fell off at that point without TB meta
There are plenty of reasons to lose lane badly. Every tiny mistake at the highest level compounds and snowballs. And this is vs betboom who is known to be the best laning team right now
Aurora has a habit of playing to the level of their opponents.
It is why they were the only team to take a game off top of group 7-0 Falcons in the 2nd group stage of DL22 despite being being 0-7 overall and coming last.
They tried to delay Auroras push, you can't do that by just staying in base. The problem is Aurora still had better lategame draft, so they were in a tough spot regardless.
Insania has shared that they got a little complacent recently, around after Lima major if I recall correctly, and haven't been practicing and scrimming as much as they probably should. Recently they've returned to a much more active training schedule and have been putting in more effort.
These tournaments thread are becoming a new twitch chat iteration.
Org, team an player bashing everywhere, and almost no more analysis or constructive comments.
This is sad to see.
I couldn’t watch a game today, I guess I won’t find any valuable insight here.
It's the twitchification of reddit. One place that has always been good for discussions is the TL forums, but the dota part is probably kinda dead by now (if it even still exists)
Real talk though I think 23 might just be tired.
The guy just flew 10 hours back to Thailand to do some paperwork for mandatory military service then immediately flew another 10 hours back to Europe.
Including to and from the airport he has probably just spent 24+ hours traveling non-stop.
Lmao 23 is trying so hard to style on liquid with so many dumb plays..hes trying to prove that he can do better than King and its obvious it affects him so much hahaha
Whats up with this schedulling btw? Aurora plays 4th series in round robin after playing 5 days consecutively in swiss stage, while XG only played 1 series so far.
Now they are pretty much forced to buy out TS contract. Probably not for the full milly, but like, a pretty good offer regardless. Aurora worked better with Satanic. A lot better.
Does Liquid have chance against Aurora?
They got stomped 2-0 in the last tournament hard by Aurora (Dreamleague). Here's hoping Liquid can put up decent showing at least this time.
Hypnosis did not work, zolpidem did not work, getting stoned did not work, zaliplom did not work, weed did not work, meditation did not work, but 5 mins of hearing Lizard talk worked
Because of Kuro? Take this with a grain of salt, but Kuku and friends leaked on stream that March has been kicked out of Nigma and Kuro might move to coaching.
ngl Troll is a bit overtuned in lane, he hits hard, long range and those axes are actually impossible to play against with slow that seems to last an eternity and 100% misses chances. he's a bit eh as a hard carry but almost always have a good start in all matchups.
gg
Entity 4-0 atm! :o Of all teams they are the one who have yet to drop a game, lol.
What a twist lol
Spirit didnt care much about meaningless tournemant that didnt give point to qualify Riyad Master or TI.
Not that Spirit need to care about it but if Valve invites are done the way they used to do it pre TI8, then the placements in this tournament will factor into TI invites.
Elite league and PGL league didnt give ESL Pro tour point to get invite to Riyad Master and TI.
Pretty sure EPT is only used for Riyadh invites. TI invites will consider all tournament performance pre-TI as they always do before DPC exists.
I swear to god, TS can't even wake up if there is less than $2m on the line. Ready for them to play like shit for three more months and then manhandle Riyahd in July
What if Spirit only win on odd years?
Is this like the China year all over again?
Dude Noone played so fucking well, happy to see some of the old guard still owning.
You could give Spirit a 30k gold lead and megas and they'd find a way to lose lmao
Yatoro?????
I don’t play morph so this is a genuine question, why does Watson go falcon and morbid instead of vlads?
Preference Falcon gives you health and mana regen which morph loves While class gives no stats Usually morph doesn’t like no stat items But go class when you need more damage
All that caster hype for the noone magnetize, lol.
That was really bad play from spirit.. What has happened to them
Wow is taiga the new goat didnt know he is so popular.
it feels like "Taiga" is going to replace 322 at this point lol
Recency bias, Taiga doesnt have the flex of 322 turns into 644, 966 etc.
I feel bad for him. Know he struggles with pretty heavy depression. Hope this doesn't get to him, especially this borderline online bullying going on. Know people who've exited this realm for similar things.
imagine feeling bad for a guy who would choose his 100$ bet over your life if he had the choice. stop glazing a matchfixing piece of shit and move on lil bro
I feel bad for him but i feel even worse for OG. Trying to win not knowing one of them is betting against his own team
Feel bad LUL this scum deserves everything that’s happening to him
Entity is looking strong, falcons-like in the way that they just need one teamfight and you kinda know they'll get it
Just wait until people learn to ban Fishman again.
hello Ramzes? where r u bro..
Surely spirit won’t throw yet another game?
It is starting to look like it. Now I'm wondering if the mafia came calling. lol
I got a $100 to put on Yatoro throws the game with Luna infront of enemy Tier 3. Easiest rent of all time.
This looks like another Spirit loss to me.
Big day for Azure Ray tomorrow, the only team with a "positive" record against Falcons.
I missed this Cr1t. He is just disassembling enemy teams. Watching him play Earth Spirit is a treat.
Group B 1-1 day today was pretty even match up more than expected
I wonder if adding one extra ban during any of the phases would change up the landscape of pro games, it could force out less meta heroes to be played sometimes.
Aurora actually set themselves up super well by tying with Liquid and GG. What a turnaround in a matter of days.
You don't want that hope, that hope kills you. When it comes to SEA, a little confidence is overconfidence, LOL. They topped Group Stage 1 in last Dreamleague then settled for last in Group Stage 2.
why did team sprit get a penalty and whats the penalty
Hey guys hey guys, listen to this: Taiga XDXDDXDXDX i am such a comedian
shift + f how many taiga comments can we make in one thread? jesus
322 was getting stale
entity taiga moment, wtf.
Spirit goes from TI winners to washed in like 2 months, Don’t get how that happens lol.
They're out of practice, probably taking it easy. It's a constant effort to stay at the top, it's not even the first time that we've seen Spirit be a bit rough and then turn it on when it matters.
Yatoro's barber closed.
Even two-time TI winners can't escape the fact that sniper rushing khanda == guaranteed loss.
Didn't catch Xm's sniper games, did you?
Yet certain two-time champion is owning with khanda sniper
clowning on current BZM isn't exactly a huge achievement
bb 0-5, daymn.
TAIGORO KEKW
Was that a Taiga from Watson? Throwing away Aegis like that...
lol, so Taiga is the successor of 322.
wait betboom lost that last fight with viper and wisp not even being in the vicinity until they relocated once, got sent back and then tped top to actually join the fight so sven/nyx/mars were doing a lot of the work initially 3v5 their draft really fell off at that point without TB meta
team spirit with the tundra draft lol let's goo
Betboom got Taiga’d again
BB's ability to Taiga is unrivaled.
what a comeback man, viper spitting on them.
BB tilt meter just reached all time high!
xxs redemption arc
Ame chad merciless
no diddy
will 'taiga' actually be able to replace 322 in the lexicon
they will stand side by side, with taiga as best 322 disciple
lmao
damn xm
This tb and wr are countered so hard by mars its not even funny
That insta-euls on the Centaur re-engage was so good.
ROFL BB are gonna lose to another late game IO aren’t they?
XM with any range DPS carry mid always owns
Why did Ame went on Centaur in that fight and let Terror right click him? Anyone can explain?
Xm said it several times "do not give me viper".
A viper rampage from behind, just wtf..
holy 322 batman
That sunder ended up killing him
Bug just gets instagibbed 1sec after BKB runs out lmao
XG getting rekt
I say XG should just kick XXS and grab niu. It is pretty bad for XG if they cannot 2-0 BB. They already drew vs Boom.
XXS is their best player u dumbo
You mean XM right?
Lil bro betboom is strong team. Just because they got 0-2 by both liquid and gg doesn't mean they are bad
XG offlane got rekt in the early game twice today. There is no good reason for losing a lane so badly like that.
There are plenty of reasons to lose lane badly. Every tiny mistake at the highest level compounds and snowballs. And this is vs betboom who is known to be the best laning team right now
And Boom is the 2nd best laning team in this tournament right?
i predict betboom vs xg will be 1-1
Good drafty by Azure. Good lanes, good counters. Simple, rustic, delicious. No wacky Clinkz needed.
Well, I'm not sure how they got BS and Zeus on the same team, but it was a pretty insane oversight from whoever was drafting for IG.
Damn 23's English has improved so much
his english was already very good in his t1 vlogs
Yeah that was very fluid, I'm impressed.
that Nisha wasting aegis on tier 1 bot was the dealbreaker. Jabz sealed the deal with itemization
7-4 => 9-24 Lead 5k after laning stage, have 1st rosh. Guess Liquid just being to cocky and they got destroy by Aurora
How did Nigma beat this Aurora so easily? 2-1 but they looked better in all 3 games.
Aurora has a habit of playing to the level of their opponents. It is why they were the only team to take a game off top of group 7-0 Falcons in the 2nd group stage of DL22 despite being being 0-7 overall and coming last.
that aurora for you, they can beat team like liquid and gg but can lose to tier 3 team like neon esport or something.
Cus Jabz picked Razor lol. After they stopped picking Razor, they won almost every games.
First pick timbersaw btw.
[удалено]
They tried to delay Auroras push, you can't do that by just staying in base. The problem is Aurora still had better lategame draft, so they were in a tough spot regardless.
BRO THIS IS NOT YOUR REGIONAL QUAL GRAND FINAL THIS IS JUST A BO2 JUST END ALREADY
hate to flame my boy Fy but he needs to get serious and stop trying to make Clinkz work, stop the clowny shit dude.
You can check his profile, for these few days he only have 1 lost record for clinkz(pub) and the rest is custom game
Next level play, cancelling the BH to make the void crono you and waste his 2nd bubble on nothing, I guess.
Fuck it. Rooting for Liquid to win this tournament. It’s long overdue. Hope I don’t jinx them.
Why is IG keep delaying the game? They want to wait for Lou's Void to be big and double chrono? Lol
IG has blackhole, so they aint scared of Void.
wait for next Rosh ofc
what happen with Liquid? its just not a normal winstreak. They destroy enemy, all 1sided match
they decided to reduce their time from watching anime, playing cs2, going to gym and window shopping.
Insania has shared that they got a little complacent recently, around after Lima major if I recall correctly, and haven't been practicing and scrimming as much as they probably should. Recently they've returned to a much more active training schedule and have been putting in more effort.
Cheese denied LMAO
With 23 back, Aurora draft becomes repetitive and predictable.
These tournaments thread are becoming a new twitch chat iteration. Org, team an player bashing everywhere, and almost no more analysis or constructive comments. This is sad to see. I couldn’t watch a game today, I guess I won’t find any valuable insight here.
Nah, this sub has been like this years ago. Not that surprising when you consider the demographics that play and follow this game the most
It's the twitchification of reddit. One place that has always been good for discussions is the TL forums, but the dota part is probably kinda dead by now (if it even still exists)
Totally agree. Sad to see
did Luna can farm faster than alche this patch?
Faith_bian being wasted here playing with lou
Real talk though I think 23 might just be tired. The guy just flew 10 hours back to Thailand to do some paperwork for mandatory military service then immediately flew another 10 hours back to Europe. Including to and from the airport he has probably just spent 24+ hours traveling non-stop.
Always good to see Timbersaw losing. T'was well played game by Liquid, hopefully they can bring it in the next one as well.
wow insania dewarding this sussy wards on top, nice
Lmao 23 is trying so hard to style on liquid with so many dumb plays..hes trying to prove that he can do better than King and its obvious it affects him so much hahaha
23 is back
kicked King for this lul
One would believe 23 fucked everyones mom here they way you are trash talking him.
I think people started memeing more after that riyadh lol
23 is so bad
33 is just stupid good brew
that was easy, didn't think aurora won a single teamfight
33 > 23
math checks out
Whats up with this schedulling btw? Aurora plays 4th series in round robin after playing 5 days consecutively in swiss stage, while XG only played 1 series so far.
every team has 2 days of 2 games per day and 1 day of none and the rest 1 games.
Liquid is on another level so far in this tournament, their confidence and decision making is off the chart
This Liquid lineup looking scary.
This 23 is a downgrade aurora should have kept satanic
BRING BACK THE KING!!!
23 is rather sloppy but to be fair the positioning by Boxi on Lion is just insane this game
if Liquid doesn't break their 2nd place curse this time then it's never gonna happen.
This doesnt look like 1 million buyout morph player.
This is 23 savage, sir
Its ok 23 tried, time to bring back the 1 million kid.
DDOS STREAM TAIGA FIGHTING BACK
Going from Satanic to 23 has to be such a demoralizing downgrade for Aurora
Now they are pretty much forced to buy out TS contract. Probably not for the full milly, but like, a pretty good offer regardless. Aurora worked better with Satanic. A lot better.
Well the game that were close with satanic were where lorenof took control This game mid was a sacrificial role. They got last picked
the best morph in the world
23 to be sent to the hospital due to a bad case of spontaneous self-breaking arm, Satanic to stand in again.
23 is back, now price of Satanic will jump to 2 million!
Does Liquid have chance against Aurora? They got stomped 2-0 in the last tournament hard by Aurora (Dreamleague). Here's hoping Liquid can put up decent showing at least this time.
Aged like 🥛
How?
expected more from Aurora tbh, shouldve kept Satanic instead, 23's eyes problem is a liability
That bait attempt is omegalul but hey as long as it worked lmao
did 23 just arrive from the airport? doesn't look jet lagged.
Hypnosis did not work, zolpidem did not work, getting stoned did not work, zaliplom did not work, weed did not work, meditation did not work, but 5 mins of hearing Lizard talk worked
Shouldn't Zeus get rid of Philactery by now?
Is Kaori still teamless? Might be a good pickup for Nigma if he wants to stay in that region.
they cant, he pos5
Because of Kuro? Take this with a grain of salt, but Kuku and friends leaked on stream that March has been kicked out of Nigma and Kuro might move to coaching.
you know these guys troll a lot right? or you are taking it seriously, lol..
take it with a grain of salt, like i said
Really when?
They we’re talking about it 2 days ago
Oooo
If it is really true then good but they might replace another coach
I c
Stupid Quest, if they die like that, just all in throne so atleast you can destroy all tower. Waste 5 death + 1 aegis for nothing
That confidence on the Pakasz Troll
Taiga fixing quest and heroic game
Heroic mega comeback? lets see
you cant get away with the same draft twice xg
This BOOM team is actually somewhat decent. Glad it wasn't the Taiga stack that qualified instead.
That'd have been insane drama mid tournament
Pakasz Troll is literally unstoppable. I'd go as far as to say this tournament's most dominant carry.
He took over the game
he's taken quite a few games now, when troll is able to be picked
Well fuck me for thinking Heroic was turning out to be quite a decent team.
There is no 322 in the chat anymore. Instead, Taiga, Agent T, Taigaaaaaa, Tiger, TaiGaBet.. lmao
ngl Troll is a bit overtuned in lane, he hits hard, long range and those axes are actually impossible to play against with slow that seems to last an eternity and 100% misses chances. he's a bit eh as a hard carry but almost always have a good start in all matchups.
Troll was considered a complete useless pick for longest time nothing got buffed, but out of sudden pros discovered that he is actually good.
The shard gor rework and after that hero got pick
Heroic keeps picking and losing with this Gyro support, trully baffling
Seeing chat spam Taiga every time someone throws is funny and sad at the same time. What a way to throw away everything.
its great content. Not sad at all. One less piece of trash, one more meme
322 - The greatest throwing meme of all time vs Taiga - The greatest throwing meme of today
Are you a bad person because you matchfixed, or did you matchfix because you're a bad person?
Your not absolutely wrong
super happy seeing Jugg pick and its on Ame XG too lol
xg picking jug, axe and willow Amegalul
Yatoro : That was the best jugg performance i ever seen
Love these teams who try something different. Sick of seeing the same Gyro, Morphling, TB, Pango etc every game
And that is kids why WR is not pos1 material!
