The four chinese teams at top 8 are safe predictions. Add in NaVi who always shows up on TI, Alliance and EG.
The last top 8 spot goes to either C9, Empire, Titan, Fnatic.
Today.
Pyrion + Shane + someone else I can't remember
Pyrion and Shane just sit there and crack jokes while neither of them are exceptionally good casters.
Purge and Blitz are also on the noob stream, AFAIK.That is probably the absolute worst combination of people they could pick. Honestly, I was hoping for Purge + Sheever on the noob stream. Purge is very good at explaining the game and can draw in people who watch his tutorial videos to spectate live games. Sheever similarily isn't the most knowledgable caster but has gotten a lot better over the years and is a lot easier to listen to.

No one wants the two most dry people know to man casting. They want to engage people and draw them in not bore them to fucking tears.
Sunsfan + Purge is the other caster duo for the noob stream
Whilst they do crack jokes, Pyrion usually asks questions that a noob would ask, so they end up being helpful. Also, considering they are specifically on the noob stream rather than downstairs in the EU hub, they should be more focused on actually explaining shit. Pyrion knows man, no worries.
They also want people to know what the fuck is happening though.
Yea but Pyrion always does it sarcastically in an inside joke kinda way. Which is counterintuitive for someone who doesn't know the game.
They actually just put that in the client now it's just a checkbox.Do we know the console command yet to auto spectate today's games in the client? I'm going to be at work for most all of the matches today.

Also, EternalEnvy is my single most favourite player just due to how many haters he got.
Go EG!

EternalEnvy is an enigma. One of the most entertaining players/personalities to watch. He believes he lives in the world of an anime and if he puts his mind to it he can do anything, which can make for some interesting outcomes.
No pictures, please. I'm here.
Get your bets in, boys. Ez rates, ez life.
The Alliance will prevail as usual
Watching the matches on twitch will count for the compendium?
The Alliance will prevail as usual

I hope C9 brings their A game but i doubt that. EE-sama is quite mercifulplease don't fEEd EE-sama
also I'll quit watching dota if navi gets second again/s
Who should I follow? I like the idea of big events but I haven't followed much DOTA competitions. I would like an American team, and I support Everton in the premier league so a team of that nature would also be awesome!

I seem to be in the minority, but in my mind the Chinese teams look rather weak. DK is looking better than they have since TI2, but iG just barely showed signs of life and Newbee is really inconsistant. On the other hand EG has been stomping everyone, Na'vi is always great at The International, Alliance won last year and after a post-win slump have looked solid, and even teams like Empire and Fnatic look very good these days. Then there's C9 who's going with the "Talladega Nights" Strategy--either they will win or end up in last place.
The American hope is EG. And considering they are one of the favorites, you'll be seeing a lot of them too, probably.
Edit: They also are blue themed so there's the Everton connection.
There is rooting for the underdog. Then there is rooting for the lame outcast sitting in a kennel on his own pouting.
