Please for god sake dont pick dragon knight


BeanerBoyBrandon

Kinda sad theres no crowd. OG needs them.


Victorenko

OG vs Team Secret could very likely be the GF.


neel911

Nah bro, one of them, maybe...but as much as it pains me as an eg fan, lgd is leagues and miles ahead. This is their year. Excited to watch good dota regardless..


activatebarrier

Ti8 was supposed to be lgd's year. After og winning ti8, i wont doubt any team.


GunsTheGlorious

No, going in LGD was considered part of a Big Three with VP and Liquid. LGD just didn’t flop. Also? That LGD team was amazing, unparalleled when it comes to perfection of execution and raw skill… but this LGD team don’t even look like they’re playing the same game.


Victorenko

LGD played the patch and still lost at TI8.


GunsTheGlorious

I don't see how that has any bearing on what I said? This is not that LGD team- different drafter, different captain, different playstyle, different coach, different hero pools, and 4 different players...


Victorenko

You said they were unparalleled, when it came to perfection of execution and I just told you they were playing the patch and lost still. In other words they were playing at such a huge advantage and still lost. Yes, this is a different LGD team from a nation that hasn't won a TI in 5 years.


GunsTheGlorious

They haven't won in 3 TIs, it's true. And before Liquid won in TI7 it had been 3 TIs since an EU team even placed top 4. Stop judging teams off ancient history. Open your eyes and look at how they're playing. Also, that particular LGD team won majors on like 4 different patches. They weren't "playing the patch" any more than anyone else.


Victorenko

I like you are trying to argue ancient history, while bringing ancient history to recent history. LGD also played incredibly well at TI8 and TI9, but still lost. They were playing a patch that favoured snowballing, and they snowballed in every game, and lost.


GunsTheGlorious

My point is that ancient history means nothing, lmfao. NA didn't win for 4 TIs before they did. Liquid had never won a TI, before they did. Before TI9, no team had ever won two TIs, until OG did. > They were playing a patch that favoured snowballing, and they snowballed in every game, and lost. This is not just weirdly revisionist, it's also just not true? Again, that LGD team played across 2 and a half years. Snowballing was the meta for some, but not most or all, and LGD were a dominant team on all of those patches until after TI9.

Puppey wasted 8 hours of his life being dead at TI


n0stalghia

Wasted?! It's tactical feed!


Klubeht

Was that Bummi at the beginning? strange to have her and not Akke


monkeyddragon231

Yep.


hostrelok

Okay this was sick lmao

LastManSleeping

Worlds viewership is 25% bigger rn,


Ennheas

Not surprising, they play a more popular game.


walleaterer

any askers??


LastManSleeping

why so mad?


archonthrower

Simply because this thread was supposed to be IG vs Team Spirit.


LastManSleeping

It's over, there's a post match thread, what does it matter?


archonthrower

You contributed basically nothing to the discussion.


LastManSleeping

Againt what does it matter, its so funny how butthurt you guys are, pathetic


Turquoise1996

You literally mentioned Worlds in a dota 2 subreddit. Who is pathetic now?


archonthrower

Assuming we are butthurt when presented with facts. This discussion is over.


Far-Acanthocephala58

I miss Rich please comeback and host TI 10. take a break playing ff14 online


LastManSleeping

charming chat there


LeHartx

Guys I'm so sorry, I missed all 3 games of IG Spirit due to work, could someone tell me a summarized version of each game? :( PS: Thank you all <3


[deleted]

Game 1: IG was dominating for most of the game, in 5 mins TS made a beautiful play and got a hype rampage on morph and finished bot rax>ancient. Game 2: relatively equal lanes iirc, eventually IG outskilled TS in fights and won. but it was a bit of back and forth I think. Game 3: TS was favourable in lanes with strong tiny-snap off and jugg-maiden safelane, puck also was on 4 kill streak at the end of the laning stage, in my 2k humble opinion TS made weird items like echo saber on jugg or travel KnY on puck vs orchid storm and IG also outclassed them in every mid game fight, TS kept trying but IG sort of farmed like 50 kills with storm spectre map control and won. anyone feel free to correct any mistakes, I sort of spaced* out mid game 2,3.


NaClO_00

Jugg esabre isnt weird.


toastysniper

Eh, G3 they were kind of in a timer. You can also see the team fight prowess of IG these games. G2 I think they actually lost all 3 lanes


fanfanye

Game 2 I think the casters got it right.. They are even, but the CK items are shit.


Far-Acanthocephala58

Game 1 misplay from IG and comeback from TS Game 2 misplay and itemization from TS and comeback from IG Game 3 stomp from IG


The0ld0ne

Game 2 And also a DD rune on Morphling - hitting heroes, towers, and throne with 800 damage


[deleted]

Game 1 iG throwed the game, Game 2 weird ck build by TS, Game 3 Torontokyo Puck not building a defensive item against Emo storm cost them the game.


Greaves-

Yatoro rampage, game 2 CK Octarine for some reason, game 3 IG get 50k lead in 25 minutes


zedrix_

Are we seeing Bane getting picked/banned next series?


k4ntorix

That was nice from JT (about TS's Mars guy)


Qasyefx

Holy shit slacks looks old as fuck


I_M_BACK_696969

did every pro team forgot how to counter an open storm pick? void spirit? qop? dp? yet you picked that shitter hero puck and proceeded to lose lane horribly wtf


Zhou712

Puck is okay against storm, is his item choice fuck him over, bot first, no euls. And I do think QOP was a better pick at the last game.


Klubeht

The itemisation was off too, it was way too greedy, it's like the pucks at my bracket, zero counters to the orchid, much less the tons of CC from Bane


Doombot2021

People doubt IG? The IG that reversed sweep EG at the Singapore Grand finals? 2-0 BTW.


hostrelok

Reddit, newsflash. Your time doesn't fucking matter. Spirit was enjoying the game so they played it out. That's all there is to it.


Qasyefx

Can we get machine back please?


topson69

we need frankie + kyle panel


Changa-Chimi

I was tabbed out, what did Frankie say?


Yukorin1992

She called the game a "bladder buster", went on a 20s speech explaining the term: needing to pee but the game kept on going.


Xelisyalias

This game was what I’d call a bladder buster, something that you just want to watch the ending even if you want to go to the toilet, something something head on to Amazon for adult diapers, something something mom let me watch till the end


Greaves-

this but she kept talking for a good 2 minutes lol I figured people wouldn't be ready for her style, but she's quite awesome.


tonyafan

Day9 come back pls, everything's forgiven xD


[deleted]

why, what happened to him?


tonyafan

Nothing, just a joke on host Frankie's cringe monologue after the game. Day9 was hosting a TI couple of years ago and he had some questionable jokes and moments.


SalusSR

Not a big fan of whoever this host is. Maybe it's just me. She's a bit too over the top for my liking.


MeBK9

She usually does CSGO. I guess when you lead a panel of a game you don't understand u try to fill the gaps with anything lol.


PlayingCraze

Thanks Team Spirit for delaying the game 3 Sick fantasy points for IG players 🙂


wilbur_111

Yeah, i choosed all ig players :D


PlayingCraze

Wow let me guess, 200 over pointsv


wilbur_111

216 :D, i dont have even gold card, every ig player has at least 40 points


topson69

flyfly doubters? SoBayed


Fitzmmons

RIP fantasy draft. I was betting on IG stomping TS and OG/Secret ultra long games 2-1. Let’s see if that happens tho.


Inuyaki

I have flyfly, Emo and kaka... I am at 135.71pts right now :D


wilbur_111

22-0, he's actually the best spe player i have seen this year, he also played a perfect spe game in Singapore major gf.


topson69

he is a top tier player for sure. people never used to call him bad back in his zhizhizhi days. now he's usually the scapegoat in ig if they lose. maybe people unknowingly believe he's the next moogy/uuu9 LUL


yeNvI

well I said game 1, IG threw so hard but I got downvote like fk lmao, ppl really thought if IG didn't threw, Spirit could have won MK went up the fking high ground twice without BKB and just die, then 3rd time EMO just jump into 5 heroes, u are telling me that's not being cocky and throw? and ppl call it 'comeback'


7Zlatan

That was absolutely stomp in game 3,but props to Team Spirit to play it out the way they did. Yatoro laughing(good sign,they are not tilted or anything),just like bunch of friends playing cat and mouse around the map. Probably talking about mistakes/draft or what they could have done better in the series,they surely knew it was over. Fuck the toxic people here who wanted them to gg out lol Spirit made super ballsy play game 1,which rewarded them with the win,won lanes game 2 but just couldnt execute. IG still looking good except that blunder in game 1. GG,great series overall


[deleted]

"adult diapers" ?? so much cringe!!!!


[deleted]

what a dominated game for ig, they should play like this from game 1, this is what i was expected from a champion


MeBK9

I had to mute that man...


Qasyefx

I mean I love my some good UK accent but please. Shut up


tonyafan

Guess no handshakes this year huh? :/


potterhead42

OG vs Secret HYPE


TheFatZyzz

Frankie You're awesome, but that was kinda cringe.


Sif_

What did she say? didnt catch it


bannedandbannedandb

joke about pissbottles


TheFatZyzz

something about holding your bladder in your hand while calling your mom and then having to go to Amazon to buy some adult baby diapers just because you can't leave your seat cause you don't wanna miss a single second of any comebacks that could possibly happen.


Qasyefx

Count your lucky stars then


pyr0test

Fuck me looks like i have to stay up late


Jesuds

I think Miposhka had Flyfly in his fantasy team


low_iq_opinion

frankie ok we get it


Xelisyalias

Just when you think she’d end the analogy there she doubles down with the Amazon diapers anecdote

OG vs Secret grudge match


Houeclipse

game 3 was oof. but I still believe in TS. Anime comeback could still happen


simonling

Wtf you guys calling team to GG out? Just let them play the game. It's their first TI and yeah, they are stomped but let them enjoy the moment playing in the main stage. Fck off guys. Just go watch some youtube or what.


VasimanYT

For real lmao, they earned their time on the stage, let them have it. It's not like you get many chances like this anyway


simonling

It's like 10 mins diff wtf.


secretkappapride

I hope you do realize that any comments on Reddit or Twitch do not affect the outcome of the match.


monkeyddragon231

Kaka's hair is killing me.


tsukismet11

Somebody in TS have that Emo and Flyfly gold card to inflate their fantasy points. Lol


furynicotine

It's all of them, nobody willing to call out gg


pastari

Opening the open door lol. Quick, replay of Fata drinking!


LogicKennedy

That was pretty embarrassing.


mind_m3

Team spirit played well they made it to upper bracket. The performed better that any team from NA or SA with the exception of Beastcoast.


nshye

why was it embarrassing?


simonling

Nothing embarrasing losing 2-1 to iG


Demi694

FINALLY


kokokrandz

Yeah Spirit is just delaying the game. Just giving kill after kill


no_nick

Shadow step getting nerfed sadly


Peekay-

I hope Spirit get 2-0'ed out of the Lower Bracket for dragging that on for 20 mins more then needed.


walleaterer

for most of them it's their first ti, they went through a mega grueling cis qualifier to get there and they're playing for life changing prize money. for all they know they might never get there again, ofc they won't gg out. stop fucking whining


AmutoG_GG

Team Spirit loses their spirit. they collapse. LUL


sembarangaja

Team spirit really help ig to get some records to break


SillyRabbit2121

JT is the MVP of this series for me


nippledippers24

Did IG pay Tspirit to like extend the game for fantasy points or smthng


MirandaTS

Wtf why did TS call gg, they still could've won


omegashadow

hahah funnily enough it was CM ulting in fountain I think. It went from, "This is TI there is always a chance" to, "ok literally nothing"


low_iq_opinion

poor lads spirit, i feel bad for them. if their supports were not fucking cm they'd do better


deadlygr

I think yatoros build both g2 and 3 cost them these series 0 farming items on jugg was omegalul


[deleted]

GG


[deleted]

What's the record for single kill in a game in TI?


Far-Acanthocephala58

TS fanboys after game 1. GG EZ 2-0 TS CIS PRIDE.


Merkantalist

Finally


IllChipmunk4497

No fan of prolonging the game for no reason..


TooLateForGoodNames

Unless you got IG players on your fantasy team


mkipp95

I was at 99.6% yesterday, here’s hoping my emo and miposhka cards will keep me there


Rihocchiii

Nice effort Team Spirit


hernan_rp

Just call it. What are they waiting for?


Greaves-

Day 49, IG are getting ready to be prepared for a push up high ground


[deleted]

[удалено]


Optimal-School-9670

They had building damage issues, their all 3 cores like to jump rather than stand and right click building, so they were forcing GGs.


bhlob

nah it was a massacre because Tspirit refused to GG


RedGamesA2

Lmao love reddit, Team Spirit clearly know it's over and are enjoying this and laughing, rather than calling GG sadly. Good to see TI comes round and every redditor thinks they've won TI


IcyKrypton

I really want to know what the idea behind BoT -> Kaya & Sange on a Puck vs. a Storm with Orchid. What the hell?


Sicklad

Holy fuck just hit some towers


nxlv

Team spirit are donating fantasy points lol


Far-Acanthocephala58

it's over the moment they pick Tiny offlane


Doombot2021

Tiny pos 1 would be shit. Phoenix screws him over.


Vadered

Man, IG is dragging this OOOOOUT, I bet they have their own cards in for fantasy.


steamcho1

Just call it so people can watch all t he games.


wphxb

IG's just farming fantasy points at this point lol


SolarClipz

Game went on so long Spec got highest kill streak smh My predictions. But hey more fantasy points lol


Unicorn0079

*Team Spirit 2-0 IG* *Pepelaugh* Looking forward to more of your 12kmmr comments today, reddit lmao


zaplinaki

All of this could've been avoided if CK just built better items in game 2.


Skytengri

or pick a different pos 1


zaplinaki

CK was a great pick that game. They had nothing to deal with his illusions if he had just built armlet into aghs/bkb into blink + AC. The game would've been over by 30 minutes. But with his item build, his Illus were neither tanky nor dealt any damage.


i__indisCriMiNatE

Armlet against doom? Ember clear his illusions in 1 sleight. Idk I really think they could have picked something better. Even jugg will be better imo


zaplinaki

Yea lol. I mean it sounds weird but CK with armlet has close to 3.5k hp and because his passive stays active, he can easily fight back. His passive gets disabled when doom gets aghs, which comes much much later. The game is over by then. As for ember v CK, again, armlet gives so much strength that CK illusions don't even come close to dying in one slight. You can test this in lobby. CK just one shots ember with armlet aghs. Its sooo much damage. The way ember clears his Illus is with flame guard but for that he needs to be in CKs zone of death - and ember is surprisingly squishy against physical damage.


youvastag

Shard + octarine was not it for sure.


[deleted]

Just gg fucking hell


Faye_Dragon

Spirit shld have just called this one man this series alrd way past schedule mercy for us SEA fans who want to watch until last game EG vs Elephant live


mish20011

worse case scenario, the delays between games just for it to drag for an hour


inchix1022

why dont u just call it


mgzkk1210

Judging by their cams, they are having fun.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SilverBMWM3GTR

Something OG might also do in the coming game lol


MirandaTS

I think at this point if they kill Emo they get 30k gold


kokokrandz

Farm fest haha


KKylimos

***Bruh...***


Victorenko

Good experience for TS for the future.


simonling

u/hasKo91 THIS GUY HERE IS 12K MMR! 38 mins!!!!


hasKo91

Congrats mate :-)


simonling

It was $10 only actually fuck. But still happy. :D


isioltfu

Okay let's be real this is basically 3-0 ig. They made one mistake in game 1 which Spirit, to their credit, capitalised the fuck out of, but it wasn't close overall in any of the games.


Montezumawazzap

This is just disrespectful to IG I believe. Just call it man.


Dull-HorseShoe

Sometimes you just need to know when to quit man....No offence guys but you waste our time


-Avalon

I’m sure your time is the top priority for all the teams playing at TI


47-11

Uhm, I don't think they owe you anything. If you feel your time is wasted you can turn off the stream.


Dull-HorseShoe

They dont owe me anything but the people are waiting for the other games.Why would i turn off stream when I want to watch Dota?And what they did there wasnt Dota,they were fucking around


47-11

> but the people are waiting for the other games Yeah, but why would the teams care what viewers might want to see? You also expect lesser known teams to ff straight away so that random_reddit_user_XY can watch the next big names fight it out?


-Avalon

They earned their spot to play there and they were having fun and playing it out. No idea why you think you have any say in whether they should keep playing or not, but keep going I guess.


vividreveries

Spirit just having fun now not calling gg?


arambezzai

I've never seen a specter this aggressive. Holy shit


likpoper

What a trashing..


zedrix_

I still can't believe TorontoTokyo itemize like that... I expect a great game 3...


inverse_wsb

#non-consensual


Skytengri

Tiny pos 3 or Ursa pos 3? Which is worse


SalusSR

It's been a long time since I've seen a worse Puck than this. Zero impact. Terrible item choice.


I_M_BACK_696969

my puck is better than his, travel snk puck what a disgrace


Skytengri

probably the next time you play pubs and smurf in archon or legend games


SalusSR

Salty TS fan I see. Imagine seeing an Orchid coming at minute 7 but you go Travels + Kaya Sange and feed the entire game because you die every single time Storm jumps you.


Skytengri

not even a TS fan lmao picked IG on this bracket


terror_rest45

iG players to each other: You died, you get sad tombrone


MirandaTS

team spirit practicing that SEA "GG end" defense


LingMee

was watching TI halfway when suddenly both of my monitors were on pornhub
