http://www.dota2.com/international/prelims/results/ group stages also released. Seems pretty fair. Maybe group B is a bit stronger. NA teams seem way out of their depth here but who knows

Lol IG, Alliance, Tongfu and Orange in one group. GG liquid.

There is a total of 112 matches in the group stage!

FATA seems kinda out of his depth there...not sure why xiao8 got voted in and not Yao, woulda rather have had Yao/Yamateh/xy/G

NICE. Perfect choices for the All-star match. Not really a fan of xiao8 and fata as solo mids but the other 6 are awesome so that is great as well.

I had God instead of Fata, but the rest are my exact picks. I would've voted in Korok but he's looked awful lately.

Most hyped I've ever been for a video game tournament? Most hyped I've ever been for a video game tournament.

Bet a bit on Zenith to beat Mouz and Orange to beat Tongfu. Both Zenith and Orange are considered underdogs by the bookies but Orange are 4-1 vs Tongfu so far.

yowza. Game 1 of Wildcard

poor draft by quantic imo, needed nearly everything to their way from the offset to even have a chance

Just tuned in and saw the end of game 3. I got $30 on this. Gogo RS.

When are the solo games starting ?

The official site shows "Solo Championship Playoffs 7PM " isn't that 24 mins ago ? what am I missing ?

mushi vs dendi was pretty amazing, although it was really mushi vs himself as he attempted to throw game as many times as he could.

Argh I have the compendium but I can't find the solo matches. When I click watch in the dota 2 client, I can click on 1 v 1 tournament but it just leads to an empty international page. RAGE.

Found the matches on the beyondthesummit youtube channel. OMGOMGOMGOMGOGMO

Bts so boring...

This ti is way more open than last year

TI3 this year is very deep. I do not think there is a clear favorite. There are definitely a list of teams that are generally better but I still think they can lose quite easily based on the format. The only teams which I do not think have a chance are dignitas, mufc,VP, and liquid. I do not think those teams are consistent enough which is really important in this tourney.

I am hearing about all the betting from the casters and I do not see how people placed Na'vi at 80% favorites when in my opinion they have been playing very inconsistent with the funnik + kuroky compared to with LoH and ars-art. Also people are crazy if they thought Quantic was the favorite vs Rattlesnake. I thought the match would be pretty even but people said the odds were 2:1. I think Rattlesnake vs Quantic was around a coin flip despite RS being the better team overall especially if you want a team going deeper in the tournament.

fnaticcccccccccccccc

oldschool hon REPREZENT

Why would you bother watching through twitch? I leave a couple of twitch streams running just in case the game pauses or something, but mostly I watch in client.

According to joindota Alliance is 9:1 vs lgd.int. I just do not see how any team this year has that high of a chance to win vs another unless it is one of the bottom teams and even than I think it's too high. I think lgd.int is being very underrated by most people. Lgd.int seem like an ideal wildcard for this tournament.

I'm curious about what the real money odds are.

Holy **** is Puppey really that smart, lastpicks earthshaker in NaVi-Mouz game and then Mouz follows up with the broodmother pick anyway. It's like he knew they were going to pick it no matter what and countered it in advance...wtf.

otherwise why is mouz picking broodmother into an ES and darkseer after the broodmother nerfs (spiderlings give more gold)

Oldschool dota first bra.

Lgd.int have the xfactor to win but struggle with basic strategy against the good teams.

Bts trying their hardest to make their viewers as confused as possible. Really still dont get why they have 2 so called analysts casting when all they do is conflict with each other and talk anout useless garbage.

And Tobi is stuck without an in-person co-caster

Despite liking him more I've been watching BTS.

FINOL pause LOL

explain plz. i just tuned in to twitch and all i see is people saying Finol in chat...

edit: oh i see, rofl. apparently his pause messed up IG, giving Alliance the win. that's pretty huge lol

Don't think it would have made much of a difference but it was super unprofessional though.

Iceiceice completely manhandled s4 in the 1v1 game. Sf solo kill at lvl 2.
