The wooing and a bunch of crappy memeing aside I thought that the crowd made for a really good atmosphere. Lots of cheering for all teams.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

zzzzzzzzz time for reactionary gross nerfs (remember leshrac and troll?) and stupid roster drama


ti6 crowd proved dota community sucks quite a lot and why this will never be considered a real sport

The jingoism is pretty embarrassing but considering fans of SEC schools do roughly the same thing I don't know that it's that far off.

 

[Usobuko]

who cares who won

secret got last

only sweeter because Misery got 2nd!

 

[domlolz]

what percentage of the esports community even care if they arent a 'real' sport

i dont think theres going to be any massive nerfs, maybe miranas aghs...

 

[marrec]

Lindsey Stirling suuuucks

*tilt*

 

[Jay Shadow]

They did spend an entire year switching players around before S4 and I think EGM came back after S4 was in Secret.

Bulldog took most of that year off too.

 

[SecretMoblin]

Can I mention how crazy it is that Alliance has been able to be stable all these years?

Even if they suck?

mhm, good dudes too

i'm glad WINGS GAMING won. the spirit of the best dota player, CHUAN, was in the booth with them.

I wish korea dota had done better though, at least they put up a good fight

 

[QuantumSquid]

DC still made 3.4 million just by getting 2nd place.

Not bad at all.

 

[inkls]

Not maybe, she was top tier p/b

Def gonna get nerfs alongside SD, ET and timber

Wings 1

DC 2

EG 3

......

Not a bad top 3 tbh, can't wait for next season.

 

[Hung_real]

The best TI out of 6 for me

6 > 3 > 2 = 5 > 1 > 4

 

[Haly]

EG was robbed

Spoiler

by itself.

 

[Quesa]

notice the distinct lack of deadmau5

 

[fr0st]

The best TI out of 6 for me

6 > 3 > 2 = 5 > 1 > 4

Switch 2 and 5

 

[mfaex]

1 better than 4? Do you actually remember 1?

 

[The Technomancer]

Not as good as 3, but lightyears better than 5 and especially 4

Good games

 

[mysteriousmage09]

I'm curious to see what happens to Secret now that this is over. Also, I hope EG doesn't go back to doing fuck all until next TI again.

 

[la_briola]

The better and best team won. I hope DC stays together though.

 

[The Technomancer]

1 better than 4? Do you actually remember 1?

I remember water

Lots and lots of water

 

[call_kotaku]

I do hope Wings learn from what happened to CDEC and stick together after TI

 

[mfaex]

I remember water

Lots and lots of water

I still have ptsd from TI1's technical problems.

 

[Radec]

Grats Wings.

DC dropped the ball in game 4. They can't keep up the momentum.

 

[Shinypogs]

i really really hope wings don't have any roster changes, but i'm quite sure it's going to happen
the big sponsored teams definitely will try and poach them with big contract money

i feel like this game's mvp is ET compared to AM

Surely they've won enough tonight to prevent money from being a motivator. There is no need to split up this team unless internal conflicts arise. I know the post Ti shuffle is inevitable but Wings feels like a team that ought to be left alone.

 

[Emerson]

ET stomp needs a nerf.

 

[Gav47]

Did anyone see Trackdota higher than this?

its 5am so tired

 

[The Technomancer]

TI2 is actually the one that I remember the least about. Like, I can recall that TI3 had some incredible moments, 4 was anticlimactic as hell, 1 just had everyone playing morphling and 5 was...solid, but I couldn't tell you the slightest thing about 2

 

[fr0st]

ET stomp needs a nerf.

Lol what

SD disruption and illusion overall probably gonna get nerfed.

 

[domlolz]

are people really getting upset at some stupid donald trump memes? he is going to be your next president, i'd get used to them

 

[Archie]

That's a lot of bots

Lol trolls u so funny

 

[Arol]

Not sure if DC stays together as is.

I could see Reso leaving back to CIS.

Maybe even w33 leaving.

If they hire shadow to run his campaign Trump's 20% chance will turn into 100%

Lindsey Stirling suuuucks

*tilt*

thank god I'm not the only one

Never again please

 

[Conceptor]

Production was great, crowd tonight was supportive for both teams, and awesome doto.

Well deserved for Wings.


Doesn't quite top TI3 hype but definitely the best in years.

 

[Aeriscloud]

My predictions right now LOL.

didn't vg take hao from newbee after they won ti4?
i just went to the chinese stream for a bit, even they're saying the old brands will start pestering wings now

 

[Hylian7]

My phone died.

Everyone just fucking off back to their lodgings tonight?

 

[shintoki]

1 better than 4? Do you actually remember 1?

4 was an absolute dull fest with full farm mode.

 

[Kalnos]

4 was an absolute dull fest with full farm mode.

farm? that was the deathball 15 min game meta

 

[Chris R]

4 was an absolute dull fest with full farm mode.

And the format was wrong. Not even seeing half oh the teams?

 

[mfaex]

4 was an absolute dull fest with full farm mode.

4 at the time was considered great until its grand finals. But I'm not talking about game quality when I question liking 4 more than 1 as an event.

Every single event from a presentation standpoint has been an improvement, probably culminating in the level of polish we saw here tonight

That whole stadium setup was insane

 

[bbd23]

bring on the roster shuffles!

I didn't like 5's presentation. Coming off the gd studio hosting atmosphere to "let's try to be espn." Found a good balance this year.

 

[LiQuid!]

I thought i saw the LiQuid guy said hes quitting dota

i was hopeful i wont have to see him around in dota threads in future

I don't imagine that will be difficult since you don't really post in Dota threads.

 

[Qvoth]

LOL shadow is actually an EE and secret fan

even said my beloved EE

seems like secret still won in the end

 

[shira]

I hope Purge gets more time next year.

A true weatherman doesn't wear the googlephones doe. And he needs to do that boner.gif

 

[Jebusman]

I don't imagine that will be difficult since you don't really post in Dota threads.

I mean, he could still be reading the thread without posting in it, and would prefer not seeing you there?

Come on man at least think it through a bit.

 

[shira]

..oooOooo..
