REAL THREAD

how do we fix this shit???

this is the real thread, MODS KILL THE OTHER ONE

He's from Bulgarian and fat, I bet bribing him with bulgur would do wonders.

Why don't they mix up the casters more?

been the same couple of casting pairs for all three days

wasn't he hailed as the best offlaner in the world a month ago?
what went wrong

SECRET WILL NEVER_______________

cuddle you

kick puppey

Stop signing meme players like RTZ and Envy

win TI6

...

bulba misses so much cs

I won.

i decided that Liquid vs. Secret wasn't worth watching because it would be a stomp...

and then my boys pull off there only two wins in the last two days

Someone please tell me what happened

see you guys monday

Secret is best when it doesn't matter.

;_;

do we know teams matchup for monday or not yet?

arteezy literally carrying his team and forcing them to win

leave ehome to me

Bulba is one of the worst players at this international

OH YEA

...

101/110 heroes picked so far.

what tags should I search on gelbooru?

Anyone have the bracket for main event?

KPOP LIVES ON

Dude, that's not funny. That looks like it actually hurt.

literally all the most cancerous heroes unpicked

thank you based icefrog

How the fuck is Lina not meta with Huskar being the top faggot?

Fuck PPD he should have gave Alex Garfield the finger and sent Alliance packing to the lower bracket.

Alright sweet, a 2 day break

Now I can enjoy myself over this weekend and go to the beach with my friends

I already downloaded an APP for my Nexus 4 phone that lets me check on the time of the tides and shiet, so that I can hit those cool waves, surfin' like I surf the Internets, dudes.

Gotta get some sleep now to leave early in the morning and packin' some sandwiches.

Later retards. Stay losers forever, LOL.

Awwww shieeeeet.

So All-Stars on Friday maybe?

Valve don't give enough info on what is actually going to happen

Are you a dotard, d2g?

If so how did you become one? Any tips or tricks?

got a better pic

all stars are cringe as fuck pls no

kuro got outdrafted extra hard game 2
MC and Fata refusing to be carried by Matumba (and a questionable choice of late game items for him) game 1

I made a big mistake

BRACKETS

WHEN

Because she's trash before she gets Agh's, and she got nerfed so hard that she's not a viable mid anymore.

Better rest your arms boyo, you'll need them for the inevitable "Push Up Contest: Round 2 Electric Boogaloo"

QO A CUTE

It's not decided yet, teams have to pick their opponents

wiki.teamliquid.net/dota2/The_International/2016/Main_Event

why is based jakiro not picked in the memepush draft

futa_with_male

yea allstars are on grandfinals between series

BOLD PREDICTIONS INCOMING
TnC 1: 0 VG.R
SECRET 0: 1 LGD
Na Vi 0: 1 Liquid
Fnatic 0: 1 ESC

>ding ding ding motherfucker

more like
cringe cringe cringe faggotnerd
retards trying to look cool

>No jakiro, lina
Yikes, what happened?

are you the reddit guy that made this? Cause I'm pretty sure I asked the reddit guy to PM it to me everyday to keep me updated....

>Grand Finals is played in a best-of-five with no game advantage.
FUCKING FINALLY

Yeah, dude those are some bold predictions, man.

>play US East servers since forever, getting Peruvians and retards every game and lose
>decide to queue West
>everybody speaks english and are nice to each other
What have I been doing all of my dotka life?

do they pick their opponents live or what? When will they do that?

no they steal our shit so i took it

its been like that for every major tourny for years

can someone explain to me how the seating / seed (the fuck it even means) work?

how did liquid drop so far down for losing 2 games? dafuq, I"m confused as fuck

tfw no miracle card

that man is a point machine

Secret making dreams come true

N-no homo

i'm predicting who chooses who AND i'm predicting esc winning
cmon

wouldn't be surprised to see Jakiro or Centaur picked at some point.

TI3 had 1 game disadvantage for LB
TI4 i don't have much memories of the finals
TI5 i didn't watch

yes, the last TI with game advantage was 3 fuckin years ago

thighhighs, anal, small_breasts, 1boy, 1girl

>TI3 had 1 game disadvantage for LB
Not true.

the fuck? is that link?

How come Fat_Control was choking like crazy for Liquid all series? I haven't see him perform like they did usually. It really feels bad seeing Jerax and Matumba trying their best when this shitter is underperforming all group stage. Also Kuro's draft is shit. As expected of the disciple of the Nyx picker.

Treant is going to be picked by EG
Alliance could do Jakiro core and S4 Lesh
Lina support for Newbee, maybe someone does core Lina for the pure damage. Loda Necrophos.

Centaur, Bloodseeker and Techies unpickable. I am surprised Visage isn't a thing because he has a slow, at level 6 he has stuns, and Drow is a thing

Tiebreakers
- If there is a tie along the Upper and Lower Bracket divider, more games will be played.
- For other games, the following is used:

1- Compare the matchup history of the tied teams
2- Compare their wins vs the seed right below them. If not resolved, compare with the seed immediately below the previous one until at least partially solved.
3- Repeat steps 1 and 2 until fully resolved or no more teams below them to compare.
3- Coin toss

TI3 did not have 1 game disadvantage for LB

>bloodseeker perma unpicked/banned

when will the frog do something useful to him? he needs an overhaul at this point

slavs should be banned from pro dota, they are irrelevant shit since TI3

Imagine being Arteezy in this tournament and having to be all like "damn, Puppey, you fuckin' good, all smart with your great drafts and horrific autistic strategies. I would totally win TI6 with you, both my hero and the real me." when all he really wants to do is fuck EE in his hotel room. Like seriously imagine having to be Artour and not only sit in that chair while Puppey flaunts his disgusting strats in front of you, the favorable meta barely concealing his fuckups and crippling autism, and just sit there, game after game, hour after hour, while he perfected that playstyle. Not only having to tolerate his monstrous fucking nipples but his haughty attitude as everyone on set tells him he's STILL GOT IT and DAMN, PUPPAN PLAYS LIKE THAT?? because they're not the ones who have to sit there and watch his doglike fucking gremlin face contort into types of grimaces you didn't even know existed before that day. You've been fucking nothing but a healthy diet of chinks and barely legal russian fangirls and later runner ups at Honeypots tournaments for your ENTIRE CAREER coming straight out of the boonies in Uzbekistan. You've never even seen anything this fucking disgusting before, and now you swear you can taste the sweat that's breaking out on his dimpled stomach as he retardedly clicks away at his computer screen, smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to get paid to sit there and revel in his "Supreme" (for that is what he calls hisself)" skills, the skills he worked so hard for in pubs in the previous months. And then the ref calls for another game, and you know you could kill every single person in this room before the TI staff could put you down, but you sit there and endure, because you're fucking Arteezy. You're not going to lose your future medical career over this. Just bear it. Hide your face and bear it.

lol baited

visage isnt picked because his familiars go down faster than your mom

I don't think you know what bait is

i don't understand what does this mean mate

day 1 main event

He already got an overhaul which is pretty funny. He became sanic, got a huge pure damage AOE silence and he can damage boost people and spells.

I guess its FINALLY time to do something with Rupture.
>Secret vs LGD
Jesus

>Just as planned

>Secret vs LGD

Havent played or watched dota since the last TI

What should i know before watching the main event?

Whars the current state of the game, what are the freshest memes, whats the meta and which teams are good/trash now?

>OG vs MVP rematch

it's time to see if Korea successfully downloaded them

>Navi vs Liquid
>Bo1

i dont know what to say
this might be the end

>future medical career
he barely graduated highschool. he doesnt have a future in medicine

...

Secret are the top team, they intentionally threw all their games just to fight their way up the lower bracket.

>tfw queue times are 4x as long during esports faggotrty

>Fnatic being the one to luck out and get a game against Escape

I'm amazed

MFW mvp beating og

EZ win for dender the airbender

>TNC VS VG.R
Really feel bad for VG.R. For some reason TNC blows the fuck out every chinese team in their group like they hate the chinese in general.

Nothing homo about it lad

yea right

so you look at the three teams that tied
liquid, secret & fnatic

liquid 2-0 fnatic
fnatic 2-0 secret
secret 2-0 liquid

three way tie
now compare all three teams to the next team - vg.r

fnatic 2-0 vg.r
secret 2-0 vg.r
vg.r 2-0 liquid

and there are your standings
