Let's blame someone. Who do we hate this week? Shame LD isn't associated with this event.

Stream just went up, showing a schedule that has the first match starting an hour and a half ago.

D2L is ayesee's turf, goons like to hate on him.

Yeah the group stage at TI4 owned hard. The bubble race was kinda cool as well, at least as an idea. The "main event" sucked, but that was at least partially because the Grand Finals were so anticlimactic.

What a well handled tournament so far this is, two games so far where someone DCs and can't come back?

How is this the tournament's fault?

Actually, I'd really like the TI4 "noob stream" to come back. I hope it was considered successful enough as a concept to be worth keeping.

That and the overview stream were great ideas and really should become a staple of esports tournaments.

nothing will ever beat the raidcall ad

Mind you, raidcall had one perfectly fine ad that was just "hey we're an alternative to teamspeak and integrate into games without issues". They just decided to create...that.

I mean poo poo, when loving reddit calls you sexist you've officially crossed every line that can be crossed.


There should be a contest at TI that selects the worst e-sports related ad of the past year. BILLY BOBBY vs HEY BIRDS vs G2A vs esportsbets.com

Also I doubt they're broadcasting the ssid, the house might have cat5 installed too

Well parking a truck in their driveway is still a DOS attack. Parking two is a DDOS.

I bought tickets to TI5 and if the grand finals are over in an hour I will burn the entire stadium to the ground.

Well there's going to be a 20 minute preshow and an award ceremony after so it'll be close I guess.

In all seriousness I expect a patch after the qualifiers are over that'll turn things back a bit.

Has there been any info about casting for the qualifiers? We won't get EU hub, that much is clear, but neither BTS nor GD studio nor Joindota have released anything.

Comparison: Grand final at TI and somebody picks Riki. Crowd chants 3-2-2. Then it turns out the entire draft is about Axe and Legion using Call and Duel to keep people turned while Riki knives everyone in the back. Riki wins.

That's basically what happened, except in Pokemon.

That actually sounds pretty hilarious.
