yeah agree that group a looks way tougher. i expect EG and VP to more or less breeze through group b into upper bracket. group a will be more fun to watch tho.

im still up for predicting group stage results, would just use their scoring format with 3 points for a 2-0, 1 point for 1-1, and 0 points for 0-2. then predict final scores for each team

c9 has been playing better than VG, who is the second best team in group B.

And Group B doesnt even have the best team in the world.

An argument for group B would be that their bottom 2 team will be stronger than complexity+wildcard#2.

Group A also just seems much higher variance in general

Navi and Fanatic should greatly benefit from the best of 2 format; C9 may suffer for it

Group B doesn't seem nearly as threatening after the top 4

Is MVP Phoenix a shoe-in for the wildcard slot? They'll crush the other 3 teams.

Imo the groups are pretty well balanced. Ehome, MVP hot 6 and fnatic are capable of going on an unexpected run in the group stages.

cdec and vega are the favourites

most sites have cdec pretty high, and vega have been winning a LOT coming into TI, compared to their previous near anonymousness.

http://www.gosugamers.net/dota2/rankings#team (I like this list, its not perfect but it gives a very good representation of results in the medium term)

cdec ranked #9, vega not far behind

phoenix 25th actually behind archon (NAR)

Omgomgomg the international is coming. I'm going to pee.

I just ended a contract as well so I'm free for the next two weeks. It's going to be steak and mash for the first game.

Toby + Synderen are casting the Grand Final. It can't get any better imo.

Dendi said that NaVi has been practicing a couple of interesting pocket strats. Might have to jump on the NaVi bandwagon again.

ya as a spectator the commentators really make a difference for me. synderens def my top color/strategist pick. i remember the last eg/secret series, i think it was ESL frankfurt?, they had two play by play shouting type guys and it wasnt that great. basically like watching poker with two norman chads commentating

At esl one, it was tobi+cap and I agree that it was terrible. I'm not really a fan of synderen either though.

Some guy on reddit put all the games into google calendar: https://www.google.com/calendar/embe...erica/New_York

Click on the "+ Google Calendar" button in the bottom right corner to add it to your own calendar (will convert to your timezone).
