DOTA 2 - Page 804 - Video Games - Video Game Systems Forum

they will care when ESPN2 broadcasts TI then the caster calls the guy's name during the broadcast and then a media ****storm for Dota/Valve starts

intentional or not the effect of using that name in America will be the same

yes obviously it could be about a raccoon, or a maine **** (cat), or whatever. regardless it's just a far too charged of a word to use in America... I'm sure actually if he changed it to TheRaccoon or TheMaineCoon, nobody would have a problem with it

good thing it hasnt been thecoon for a long time then, or the 50 people on the website-only espn#37 watching TI would maybe raise an eyebrow for a fraction of a second

Valve making the right moves to turn Dota 2 into a long lasting e-sport. We real e-sport nao boys BibleThump (jk we real before too)

tl;dr Major/Minor tournament system all run by 3rd party organizers. Point system for teams and players to determine TI invites. Good stuff

Quote:

Instead of the previous Major system, we will be selecting many third-party tournaments to directly sponsor. Additionally, players competing in these tournaments will earn Qualifying Points which will be the sole factor in determining invites to The International 2018.

There will be two tiers of tournaments that we sponsor: Majors and Minors. Majors must have a minimum prize pool of $500k, and will receive an additional $500k towards the prize pool from us. Minors must have a minimum prize pool of $150k, and will receive an additional $150k towards their prize pool. In order to ensure a baseline level of competitiveness, and to support teams from different regions around the world, both Majors and Minors will be required to have at least one qualifier from each of the six primary regions (NA, SA, SEA, CN, EU, and CIS). In addition, Majors and Minors must have a LAN finals component to their tournament in order to accommodate teams from the different regions.

Seems like good changes. Interesting use of major and minor when CSGO minors are merely qualifiers to a qualifier.

I don't think I've ever seen OG beat a solid team with that arc warden pick.

So....CK really sucks. Glad EG learned that in these two games, lol. Lower bracket EG. At least we won't see them waste CK picks at TI.

Meanwhile OG went on to win 5 games and get the #1 seed after starting 0-2 vs EG and LGD, running CK in 3 of those games (and visage core in 1).

didn't watch the games but my main thought on CK is that LC destroys him way too hard with her overwhelming odds (use it after CK ults = useless CK ult)

to a lesser extent earthshaker does too, but LC really does with her AOE nuke that hurts illusions extra hard
