BRAVO KOREA

u jelly :^)

When are the next games?

The TI salt lives on.

NAVI NAVI NAVI

>Alliance banning Kunkka
KEK WAT?

who is this man?

why not secret and eg eliminated in first round by some other teams?

>NA DOTA.

Who preparing for /postesportsdepression/ here?

>kunuka

uhmm did you even study japanese?

nth for Traxex is the best waifu

Don't worry DC is an "NA" team

You only get eliminated in the main event.

when all the anime autism in the world reached its peak, it coalesced into the form of a child named Jackie

>counting prize pools rather than positions
kekkles

>Gyrocopter will NEVER fucking fall off the meta
HE'S BEEN A B-TIER PICK SINCE FUCKING TI2. FOR FUCK'S SAKE ICEFROG SHITCAN THE HERO ALREADY.

HERE COMES CORE ORACLE

why the fuck did Fnatic play Medusa

...

Don't worry lads, one day your teams and players will rank on The Scoreboard.

Zaipi

Statsman Bruno@StatsmanBruno
The sad note about today is that we might get navi vs alliance or eg vs secret first round brackets but not both :(

>Loda and Mummy

Anybody else depressed that EG sucks now? I don't even play Dota anymore and I only watch it for EG this fucking sucks. I hope they change their roster before TI.

i want to fug saya

>loda was actually handsome
>now he looks like a hobo
>dates a monkey
dota really ruines lives

A game to lose

Hoping for EG vs Secret then
Elimination games are more entertaining

TUSKAR

see you after TI6
Also reminder that before TI5 this looked totally different, but how convenient is that

SO YOU WUZ SAYIN YOU WAZ CHAMPIONS ANND SHIET?

Burning makes that much every year without winning anything. Why would I care how much money somebody makes if they don't win at dota?

>le I've seen enough anime to speak Japanese

that's not how it works baka.

Just root for the other American teams like DC or Complexity

>medusa

alright alliance lost

Not really, they backstabbed Aui after winning TI so they deserve being in the dumpster.

>people STILL falling for the untranslated meme from reddit
W E W
E
W


that is his BUYOUT price

he does NOT make that per year

So what's next for NA fans?

Overwatch? Maybe Smash Bros?

Medusa vs Slark tho

xiao8 will be back on top
the only captain that matters

>pick dusa vs DK and oracle
lmao just spam oracle's nuke on dusa and watch her mana burn while her shit hp pool won't benefit from the regen anyway

>already falling back on muh glorious past
No better way to tell it's ogre. NA dotes is finished.

yea, and secret and eg can both play some other teams in the lower bracket first round and they can both lose adn get eliminated.

Wouldn't that be better than them fighting each other?

This time of year last year the TI5 invites had been out for a month

If Secret busts out of this tournament in last place they lose their TI6 invite, there's no time to make up for it

>CHOTTO MATTE

BASED

slark vs dusa is unloseable for slark

Those are still skill based, but they can still win in Hearthstone.

Anything that involves EG and Secret getting eliminated first round would be great.

Fuck Sumail. Fuck RTZ. Fuck EE.

>EUcucks will never ever ever get over the fact that they can only win when the tourneys aren't relevant

NA can win when it matters
China can win when it matters

Why can't you?

Why can't The Yuropeon Union win the Superbowl of Dota?

...

Every major winner gets an invite :-)

EXCEPT DOTA ISNT A FUCKING 1v1 GAME YOU SHITTER

saya a cute

okay FNatic picked both Ember and Medusa

what happens when you pick TWO (2) farm vacuums?

I would agree if they hadn't changed two players since their accomplishments

...

EG vs Secret

make it happen based frozen amphibian

Then why are you posting or watching this major? Ti is in August. Go wait.

>EU 2 TI TITLES
>CHINA 2 TI TITLES
>NA FINALLY MANAGED TO SNAG ONE

Yeah one of them is TI winner from 2015.

Secret are bound to get TI invite just because they have 3/5 last major winners and the previous year's TI winner (Universe) in their team

They both get top networths, this is the same carries they used to beat Liquid.

I hope so desu. I want to watch laughing RTZ's career crashing down as he's forced to make SingSing tier teams with other former pros that disband after a max of 3 months.

Reminder that liquid lose to this medusa' build

REMINDER TO EG AND SHITREKT FANS THAT THIS IS NOT
I REPEAT NOT
A HONEYPOT LAN

BAD RESULTS MAY VERY WELL END UP IN NO DIRECT INVITE TO TI

>Fnatic have two late game carries
>Alliance have 1
How can Fnatic possibly lose this?

I don't think they're bound to. They're likely to, but they wasted their "bound invite" on this major I think

WHYS THERE A 3 DAY BREAK, REEE WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO IN THE MEAN TIME

>secret faggots this desperate to find a reason to give their team an invite

Only problem is that all 5 Ti winners and the 3 major winners are all total garbage and embarrassments to dota

Play Dota 2

EG would be invited because they're the defending champs. Secret is the one who should be worried 2bh.

it's not happening, if it does the tournament loses a lot of views, count on valve to rig that shit so that both teams go as far as possible

EG are defending champions they're guaranteed an invite

Secret is the only question mark.

F-FREE RING OF REGEN AND PLATEMAIL?

oops forgot my image
>linken
>manta

What are they gonna defend? The lower bracket last place?

>Secret is the only question mark.

tusk n dark seer secure early game
medusa tanks ember does the dmg late game

>navi in winners bracket
russia alone will keep the viewership up
na and eu cant compete with russias playerbase

>Secret is the only question mark.

>He still thinks a team that has 3/5 of previous Major winners and last year's TI winner won't get invite
;SMILEYFACE:

Same shit as Shitbee did after they won TI and got invited directly to next year's TI

Damn that's a spicy meme

Nah. Valve aint inviting a team that finished last at the major and lost almost every single match their played.

They have no way to justify that invite.

...

They'll lose hard if the DK gets fed enough to get giant armor stats that Medusa and Ember won't even do shit damage to him.

this

NA doto in costant denial

bullshit
navi is popular but not yet as popular as eg+secret combined
NA and EU are basically bandwagoning for them, but I guess once they're out they'll switch to navi

EVERY SINGLE NORTH AMERICAN TEAM IS IN THE LOWER BRACKET

BEFORE MANILA YOU COULDNT HAVE POSSIBLY COME TO THAT CONCLUSSION THAT ALL OF THEM WILL BE THIS TERRIBLE

IF YOU GAVE ME A 5000:1 BET THAT HAPPENS I WOUDLNT TAKE IT AS NO SANE MAN COULD POSSIBLY IMAGINE A WHOLE REGION CAN BE THIS AWFUL AND LOSE EVERYTHING WHEN THEIR OPPONENTS ARE MINESKI OR NAVI

BUT YET HERE WE ARE

SOMETIMES TRUTH REALLY IS STRANGER THAN FICTION

GUESS ITS THE LEAD WATER THEY DRINK THERE HAS TO BE SOME EXPLANATION HOW A ENTIRE CONTINENT IS SO SHIT AT ANYTHING COMPETITIVE I JUST CANNOT FATHOM IT

>he still thinks a team that is getting nothing but last places since the last major deserves a direct invite to TI
kys secret fag, your team is dead

>slark
>dk

lol are you serious

That was before majors and "Valve-tier tournaments"

>They have no way to justify that invite.
Here.

Highlighted the important bit to you. They'll get the invite due to having major winners in their team and Uverse.

Hello newfag that has never seen badly performing team get invited to TI based on earlier performance :v)

reee

>CIS region is part of the yurocuck union
?

>pre-TI4 poorfag TIs are relevant
?

those are not super bowls friend, those are APFA/NFL champions

stay mad that you can't win when the moneys on the line

>dk knight is a late game carry
-swedecuck

>lelda
>bullcuck

>[A]

Yeah? So? That is even more reason for major victory to have weight or else you created major system for no reason (and the original reason was to make the non-TI-season more relevant)
