Ill still cheer for Navi. For the dominate team, they are still very fun to watch and utilize lots of outside and pocket picks.

That last game was fairly short and one-sided compared to the first two. Oh well, at least it was a 3 game series.

Knowing what I've seen from Ukrainians who have come into money... I wouldn't necessarily assume that.

EG placing as high as they did is surprising to me - considering they've been playing without Maelk for 2 months. I wonder if they'll show up at TI2 looking stronger since they'll finally be playing as a full team again.
Edit: TongFu is going to surprise people at TI2.

Tongfu shouldnt surprise anyone being made of old Panda members and the performance they put on in the East Qualifier. And by performance, I mean massacre.

yeah, did 3rd or 4th get any money? Mouz had the better record though I believe. NM, guess I should read the source. That's ok, least they get money.

Dem bitter tears are almost as delicious as my refreshing drink right now.
It's quite shocking actually that this was the same team who lost against Virtus.Pro, cause they didn't want to right click into the base. Super impressive how well they played now.
The interest for the East Qualifier didn't seem too big from many communities (like here), especially in comparison to the western one. I still think the top teams in it played better than in the western qualifier.
And to be completely honest, I think most people who didn't play Dota 1 have no idea who Panda were

I think EG and Mouz are tied for 3/4.
But Orange just beat them today!
I honestly think this international can be won by ANY of the participating teams. (Except Darer because most overrated team in the dota 2 scene) All of them have taken games off of each other enough times that it is just going to depend on the progress each team makes while they are bootcamping.
Haha, was thinking the same thing
To be fair it should be pretty interesting, Dimaga plays a really different ZvP style than stephano so I wonder if Mana will have to switch it up a bit.ShallNoiseUpon

3rd place was 30,000 SEK
4th was 20,000 SEK
I would assume they just split it 25k/25k each.

When's the SC2 final slated to start? And who's playing? I've been watching pretty much only Dota today and yesterday.

Probably at Twitch's after party. Last time 2gd got hit in the head with a bottle, so I'm sure there will be more funny stories this year.

So, uhhhhh how about we start ?

Naa. Let's wait a little more and make us rip our hair off.
Apparently he puked all over a couch
By showing a black screen for 20 minutes they managed to get 20,000 people to turn off. Nice.

Best way to lose 30k viewers? Show black screen with SC2 music for 30 minutes.
They could've had people talking on the couch or whatever all this time. There's enough commentators, players and cameras there to fill some time just talking about the games that happened or the players now or whatever.

What good is it when 2DG lies in some corner at the afterparty during the time he was really needed just now?
Dimaga (Z) vs Mana (P)

I know that they try to delay their finals to pull in as much NA viewers as possible, but I think they have gone too far this time, especially during a work day.
