Just a heads up, Speed are all home from China and don't plan on going back because they all hated it there.

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.

Majuju posted:I appreciate that D2CL is doing qualifiers for season 2 before season 1's finals have finished, to the confusion of at least one person (ME, GOD DAMNIT). I mean Speed peaced out to China for like a month+ Its not like D2CL had any choice in the matter. Unless you want them to have played it on 300 ping.

Asuron posted:Loda is not Meracle. If he had the micro skills of Meracle he could turn this around, but we've never seen him do that kind of thing. Even if he could, Speed are not going to let him, they'll force the fights and he has to be there or they lose. You're really overestimating Meracle here. Hes really good but the Naga splitpush thing isn't some mystical power. Watch Arteezy stream some time, hes been 1v5ing ranked matchmaking with Naga for the past couple days.

Speed just need to get a rapier/aegis on EE and yolo mid. I'm not sure what Alliance can do to stop that.

Taffer posted:Welp guess I was completely wrong. I didn't realize MLG and WPC had such large prize pools. MLG got crowdfunded by tickets. Starladder this weekend was too, with the grand prize being at ~62k right now. Whoever wins that (besides sigma) will be in 2nd on post TI3 winnings by a large margin.

The best thing about pro dota right now is that Alch is like the only first-ban hero right now. Basically everyone else is banned on a team to team basis.

I guess Wisp/Slark should be pretty scary. Essence shift + overcharge is going to do some serious damage

Yeah concoction is as intended right now, its just different than Dota 1. Alch probably needs a nerf though for the sake of both competitive and pub.
