NewBee won and everyone was sad. ----- Welcome to the 3rd edition of the Pro Dota 2 thread. (Previous threads 1 2) There are professional Defense of the Ancients Two events taking place every day all over the world, and this is the place for live reactions and commentary. Posting here is more relaxed than in the main Dota 2 thread, and more in line with SAS GDT or TVIV style posting. The main Dota 2 thread is located here. There is a TI4 Goon meet happening here Every year, Valve Software hosts The International (TI), bringing the top 16 Dota 2 teams in the world to compete for a prizepool of over 1 million dollars. The past two events have been held in Seattle in August, with last year paying out over $2.7 million in total with a top prize of over $1.3 million. Games are broadcast free through the Dota 2 client and on Twitch and other streaming platforms. The event lasts about two weeks, and last year there was a strong goon contingent who made the trip to Seattle for the final weekend. Past Winners 2011: Natus Vincere 2012: Invictus Gaming 2013: The Alliance 2014: TBD The 2014 edition, The International 4, begins on July 8th with preliminary stages, with the Main Event taking place at Seattle's Key Arena from the 18th to the 21st. The total prize pool is currently over 10 million dollars, with the winning team receiving almost $5 million. Sixteen teams will be competing at this year's International. Eleven of the top teams in the world were invited directly, four teams were invited after winning their regional qualifiers, and one wild card team will earn their way in. In Phase One, the four regional runners-up will fight for the wild card slot to enter the main tournament. In Phase Two, each team will play each other once in a round robin, with the top ten teams being seeded further in to the playoff and the bottom six teams eliminated. In Phase Three, teams will face off in successive Best-of-3s to advance to the main event. Games on broadcast through the Dota 2 client, and on Twitch.tv. Broadcasts will be available in many languages, English, French, Russian, Chinese, Portugese, Korean, and likely others. Last year's event doubled the previous year's viewership, reaching over 1 million concurrent viewers for the Finals. http://www.dota2.com/international/overview/ SCHEDULE July 8 - Playoffs Phase One, Wild Card play-ins July 9-12 - Playoffs Phase Two, round robin July 13-14 - Playoffs Phase Three, elimination rounds July 18-21 - Main Event, conclusion of the upper and lower brackets, and the Grand Finals MEET THE TEAMS The 11 Invites Team DK quote:DK’s roster is one of the most versatile in Dota. Looking at the number of different heroes played by each player since 6.80, DK has three players in the top 10. Mushi–who played the most different heroes at TI3–, Burning–who played a different hero in each game of DK’s undefeated run at StarLadder 9–and MMY. Being able to pull from such a large hero pool gives DK a few advantages like making them hard to predict, allowing the team to play a variety of strategies, and giving the team flexibility in the draft.

A couple of months later Resolut1on joined the squad and the team started to gel. Over the winter of 2013-2014 Empire had one of the hottest stretches of Dota of any team, winning nearly 80% of their games over a three month span. Unfortunately that stretch occurred during online play, and the squad was not able to see if its hot streak would carry over to an offline environment. Empire is a bit light on major offline event and TI experience compared to most of their competitors but a 2nd place finish against the stacked field at StarLadder 9 has allayed most of those concerns.

LGD qualified for TI4 by dominating the TI4 China Qualifiers, only losing two matches, and at the time looked like the best team at the any of the qualifiers.

All the players except for MSS have TI experience, though mouz (FATA and paS’s TI3 team) and LGD.int (Misery and Pajkatt’s TI3 team) both had disappointing TI3 performances and finished outside the money.

The squad formed in January of 2014, though most of the roster had some history together while playing under the Lowyat name. While the team looked impressive in the TI4 SEA qualifiers and against SEA competition, the roster is light on experience and is largely untested. ddz is a player to keep an eye on. While he may not be as accomplished as some other solo mid players, he can be electric in his playmaking.

The 2013-14 season has been very disappointing for Liquid after a surprisingly strong finish at TI3. Qojqva had been playing out of his mind in the leadup and during the American Qualifiers, but other players will need to step up. The players have a lot of experience, but there's been a lot of turmoil surrounding this team, and this group has only been together for a short while.

Historically the second best team in Korea, they've been on a tear since the addition of QO.

By watching games in client or on Twitch, you can earn special ingame drops. These drops will be tied to specific ingame events, such as first bloods or multikills, and will be tagged with the time, date, and players involved. For most tournaments, you will have to have bought the ticket to be eligible for drops. I want to earn cool hat drops and level up my Meepo set but I'm stuck going to the movies with my wife. What can I do? You have two options. Using the console command dota_spectator_auto_spectate_games leagueid you can set Dota 2 to automatically join tournament games of a given tournament. See this page for individual league IDs. Alternatively, you can link your twitch.tv account to Steam, making you eligible for ingame item drops. UPDATE: There is now a tickbox on each tournament page allowing you to autospectate games. I'm having issues with Twitch/DailyMotion/Ustream/whatever. Help!

Its going to be interesting to see what changes Alliance make if they get blown up again at Starladder next weekend. At this point I'd put Navi and Fnatic as fairly heavy favorites against them, and Sigma are probably even.

I had the same feeling, but the overall post-TI3 stats don't look like there are any heavy favourites against Alliance as such. If anything I think Alliance has a very large tendency to lose games that really matter at the moment. At any rate an update on that is that there will be no roster changes (probably wise), but that probably means position or drafting/calling responsibility changes.

In fact, I'll call it now: They are switching EGM to the offlane, making Bulldog play support. Bulldogs offlane pool has been punished badly in 6.79, and he has trouble staying effective. EGM seems flexible and all-around excellent at the game, and a more impactful role may serve him well.

# ? Jan 10, 2014 15:00 |

Bulldog is one of the best offlaners in terms of getting farm while having incredible map awareness. I think he just has to get better at other heroes instead of changing him into a roaming support guy or something, which I'm not sure if he can even do at a competitive level.

Probably some way off playing with anyone but mates as I'm hilariously scrub-tier but I never see anyone on SA talking about playing outside of normal matchmaking. If you have to ask other people about playing professionaly in Dota 2 you aren't good enough. The standard Dota 2 thread is fine for everything else. If you are serious about getting a team I think now is the time to impress lower tier teams and go for a 6k MMR in solo queue. This might be a way in for very skilled players without a solid team. I also don't think it's reasonable to compare TF2 and Dota 2 as competitive games. TF2 has a fraction of everything Dota 2 has, that includes lan events, sponsorship money, teams, tournaments, viewers as well as overall playercount.

To be honest I'm hoping Valve implement a similar system to Warcraft 3 where they have monthly tournaments with the prizes being high value items or something along those lines. It's one thing to do scrims in IXDL or stuff like that, but you really need a competitive environment to really figure out what you need to do to improve as a team and for anyone that's not a pro or aren't friends with pro players there are really no options available.

mfcrocker posted:Yet somehow very little in the way of lower level stuff, whereas there's loads of amateur leagues for TF2 Little recurring cups are everywhere. In Europe, I know JoinDota also sometimes has an Eizo Cup and every month has BigPoint Battle. The first few rounds involve hundreds of teams. Smaller pro teams that get invited to but don't usually win the premiere tournaments in their region show up in these things too, so if you make it to the finals you probably won't face Alliance, but you may find Mouz or 4FC or Speed or something. EDIT: Like, for instance, here's a recurring cup currently in registration mode where the 1st place prize is $800USD. Scroll down and you'll see Poseidon won the last season so even if you just want to play online for your $220 share the competition is still somewhat real at the end.
