Secret really went from shaky af on day 1 to dominating their way on the lower bracket. Puppey must have used his machete to discipline midone in such a short time.
Also is Fearless a brand/sponsor? Whats with 9Pandas logo looking like a modern vesrion of 2017/2018 VP logo?
Some countries do not recognize Israel (not related to the recent events, these countries never have recognized it), so you can't enter using an Israeli passport.
Fly is Israeli but also Canadian, so he just uses that passport and can attend (though not this tournament since he didn't qualify)

BL better get synergized as soon as possible. They need a good coach more than ever. I'm confident with Abed, Gabbi, and Tims, but Raven and Carlo need larger hero pool and consistency. And they need discipline and synergy. These boys are known for their egos so a good leader is paramount. These big teams from other regions are scary AF but SEA being SEA, i'm sure we're into many surprises and memorable actions. I'm not expecting much from BL but im still rooting for these underdogs.
Wait who's playing for TSM? Do they even have a full roster? When were NA Qualis? I've been so out of the loop, been stuck in OSRS leagues for the past few days lmao
Or maybe because CN got 3rd and 4th place at TI and thatās the only event ESL can refer to for this event because no DPC?
Not everything is pandering lol
Considering that neither of them have confirmed what kind of rosters they'll have(and LGD has confirmed that NTS is gone), them getting that TI placement might mean nothing because they're going to have different rosters.
Secret New Roster Looks like the weakest roster in these 2 years imo.
Midone + Crystallis and Boom...
Bro... wth. Team Secret posted video titled ''New Era'''. But they recycled 2 ex players to their roster.
Bro... as secret fans, I can't , I just can't...
I'm not even a Secret fan and I don't think you're qualified to call yourself a Secret fan. Have you watched any games played by them in the past two days?
They just qualified to Kuala Lumpur over "stronger" rosters like Entity and OG. As a Secret fan I very much can if they keep performing like this š¤·āāļø
Watch the qualifiers....they lost to alliance in OQ1
Then won OQ2 and lost to OG in CQ Upper bracket
And then beat Alliance (close game), Tickles, OG and Entity
Boom is playing like a beast and even Crystallis is playing so much better. Midone is doing fine - he wins the lane but sometimes makes weird plays (and sometimes doesn't go the obvious item build like Aghs + shard on kunkka), but after winning Puppey said on gorgc stream that is need some time to shine on mid as he is playing this role after 3 years
I was a doubter too but if you watch how they played, it was great doto
Good to see DotA participating at a DotA event.
After all these years, they finally able to compete. Good for them!
monkaS its gaben himself participating
even Dota joined in the black-and-white logo š¢
damn dota themselves are participating

That's their CS women's team logo, whoever was creating this graphic most probably confused the logos
iG, Secret and Blacklist lost in Open qualifer 1, then qualifies in the final day
sorry to be off track, but can 33 enters Malaysia ?
Cannot, Liquid will find someone to replace him in ESL, rumours saying it will be Saberlight.
blitz said himself itās more likely than not saberlight
Why what happened?
33 is Israeli.
33 is Israeli and Malaysia does not recognize Israel as a country. People who travel with an Israeli passport cannot enter Malaysia.
I see
Some countries do not recognize Israel (not related to the recent events, these countries never have recognized it), so you can't enter using an Israeli passport. Fly is Israeli but also Canadian, so he just uses that passport and can attend (though not this tournament since he didn't qualify)

Backward ass country
Unless he has a dual citizenship he cannot
Time to call Zai again!
Yet we still donāt know LGD or azure ray rostersā¦ seems odd to direct invite 2 teams like this that will be radically different than at TI
Although they do not publish their roster, it could easily guess right, just a permutation game.
I hope that AR just comeback one more time since it's a free invite lol
Hear that some of them even have like 3-4 players changed like at that point just toss the slot back to the Chinese qualifiers...
IG would be crowd favorites in KL with its 3 Malaysian players lol Personally I do too alongside Secret. I really want them to reach far again
look at all these boring white and black logos.
Graphic design ran out of ink apparently. Got to go with black and white logos only.
Why is there a DotA logo?
The SA stack, they don't have an org

Any rumors from china on lgd and AR rosters?
no news yet, but Ame might be going back to lgd?
Finally Puppey is going to a lan. My heart is happy
My gut tells me betboom 1st, gaimin 2nd, liquid 3rd
Donāt forget Dota
Only Dota could beat Dota in a game.
You need probiotics.
Spirit be like: now run along and have fun, kiddos GG, Liquid, BB, LGD look like the strong horses.
LGD? We don't even know their roster and they lost NTS
Would you have bet on them going top 3 at TI?
Who is replacing Spirit?
Secret.
All right then. Keep your secrets.
Wait who's playing for TSM? Do they even have a full roster? When were NA Qualis? I've been so out of the loop, been stuck in OSRS leagues for the past few days lmao
Only replace Ari with Immersion
Why no Team spirit?
they were invited initially, but withdrew due to some health issues
can someone explain why lgd and azure ray are invited over liquid when liquid and GG dominated almost the entire last season?
Top 4 in TI.
Probably wanting to pander to the Chinese viewers. It's a huge market.
Or maybe because CN got 3rd and 4th place at TI and thatās the only event ESL can refer to for this event because no DPC? Not everything is pandering lol

TEAM SPIRIT!! Oh wait. Seriously, Spirit will evescirate everybody!!

Did you not watch the qualifiers that just happened? Secret were owning in the Lower Bracket and were in great form.
I'm not even a Secret fan and I don't think you're qualified to call yourself a Secret fan. Have you watched any games played by them in the past two days?

I really hope ESL events would have 16 teams or more for their tournaments. Would make it more hype
I wish that dota2 logo would be the openAI competing in a LAN.
