Dota 2 - The international 2018

[btctalk4life]

OG are just unbelievable. Another amazing comeback for them against Storm. If only they could play that well all game long and then not need to pull off such amazing comebacks, they would be serious contenders to win it. That gives them a minimum top 6 finish - so happy for N0tail after the shitty year he has had.

Also, this line from Sumail was the highlight of the day:

"What do you think is the biggest obstacle between you and the Aegis?"
"Artour"

Yeah, i think Notail best role is support, like the old OG when miracle on OG. Notail carry is not good, luckly Ana is back and notail back to support role. Classic sumail trashtalk lol on babyrage arteezy.

Who are the EG fans boy here? they just won against Secret with a 2-0. The dark horse which is Team Serenity has lost against Optic Gaming, this team surely is very good in strategies.

Since Serenity has lost, I'm expecting that Winstrike will win against VGJ.Storm but it's one of the hardest team to beat in the tournament today. They were very consistent with their plays and they only lost to OG with a crucial fight.

Optic Gaming captain PPD is from EG though and he also the previous camptain on EG and with Zai too, both are a good player from EG. This team is good. VGJ.Storm is placed on top 1 on group stage, i think it will be hard for winstrike.

let's see if ppd can figure out Virtus Pro tomorrow let just hope they will outdraft VP, there will be much higher chance of winning for them. Winstrike are capable taking down Tier 1 teams like VP and they even almost won a series against Team Liquid at Epicenter.

OG are just unbelievable. Another amazing comeback for them against Storm. If only they could play that well all game long and then not need to pull off such amazing comebacks, they would be serious contenders to win it. That gives them a minimum top 6 finish - so happy for N0tail after the shitty year he has had.

i hope he doesnt manta dodge the aegis again, TI 5 Secret

Yeah, i think Notail best role is support, like the old OG when miracle on OG. Notail carry is not good, luckly Ana is back and notail back to support role.

i think notail is still a good carry he is the carry when they won alot of major so i guess he is still good maybe not on form unlike before, i guess his mechanical skills translated to support.

Just realised that in the upper bracket yesterday, group A teams went 8-0 against group B teams.

Suggests group A was the stronger group, and since both EG and Liquid went 13-3 in that group, I'm predicting an EG - Liquid Upper Bracket Final and Grand Final.

Basing on current stats Liquid vs LGD and OG vs EG.These would be the fights that can give us goosebumps for sure and those teams on upper bracket was just too good and on lower bracket VP is trying to cling up too.
Upcoming match will be on these teams for this Day 2 of the main event.

Winstrike lost to VG.J thunder on 2-0.

This EG vs OG, what a game man, what a game. 2 comebacks on game 2 and game 3. I thought OG lose already on game 3 but they managed to make a big comeback with spectre, zeus and Centa. The best game of international 2018 so far.

[o_e_l_e_o]

Two upsets with both EG and Liquid losing, but yeah, mad props to OG. Guaranteed top 3 finish and so happy for them. Arteezy's fault I feel, he left EG playing 4v5 while he farmed, but never really came online.

I'll say it again, if only OG didn't have to resort to such incredible comebacks to win, but man they deserved it.

Check out the look N0tail gave Fly after the game: https://clips.twitch.tv/CarelessLitigiousTireSeemsGood
Must be so satisfying for N0tail to beat them.

Yeah the bad blood between Notail and Fly is damn real. It's kinda sad though, these 2 man is a friend before but all changed after Fly moved to EG. That stare from Notail though, it must be very personal.

[o_e_l_e_o]

Friends right from HoN days, before Fly totally backstabs N0tail, forcing OG to pull out of the Chinese Supermajor, scramble to complete their line-up prior to TI, forcing them to go all the way through the Open Qualifiers and the Main Qualifiers, and then OG beats them.

N0tail is such a great guy, I would be so psyched to see him finally win a TI.

EG is surprisingly strong this meta, I do not know what did they do with s4 and Fly at their side but damn, they are really great this TI. I do not know if EG will be getting another TI aegis but I don't think it will be easy.

VP is a great team including the Team Liquid, I don't think that they will be letting another championship on EG the same as Liquid. VP are still not winning their TI so I guess it might their chance now, since I will be rooting for them.

Looking forward for a upset tomorrow Optic vs VP that would boost my fantasy points alot if they pull a upset tomorrow.

even dota plus predicted EG have a 41% chance of winning with 14k gold advantage and have a destroyed barracks (i forgot how many barracks they destroyed at that time) and it keep going down after spectre is slowly getting farm that's the power of the best late game hero.

Very satisfying!

I'm also with n0tail on this side though he's getting a lot of hates before but now the Dota 2 community is on his side today.

How lovely to see him react with that handshake that made me wooooooop while watching the stream. That feeling after meeting again your childhood friend and ex-mate that left you hanging in the air to secure himself a TI slot and you have won the match against them.

n0tail commended!

Comeback is real and OG has shown us what that means, I was hoping that it was EG who win the game because I bet for them but on the other side, I acknowledge that they are doing a good job making that comeback. You have to give Notail an appreciation of what he did, it was because of him that they won the game against EG

Yeah i thought dota plus is shit lol but nope, i think it's because of the power of spectre. Combo Spectre with tank build heart of taras + skadi and Centaur with aghanim + refresher. Even Full item tiny can't kill spectre on the last fight. Great game though.

[Kprawn]

n0tail rocks! I love Dota 2, but there are some mobile games that needs some attention too. People are too focussed on

console and pc games.    Games like Vainglory / Fortnite / Clash Royale/Of Clans / Heartstone has a giant following and they

should get a lot more attention in Sport betting sites.    There are more people playing these games than StarCraft and

Dota 2

Giving spectre a time to farm and go for late game then it would really give a headache later on and I was amazed on the patience of the team and with Ana on his spec. Inspite on having that disadvatange with net gold they do still able to handle it out on late game. Spec+ SS of centaur would really be so tanky with Skadi,manta, diffusal item then it cant really be damaged so easily even with tiny combos.

Those mobile game do have that much player but if they will able to last for a long time just like what other games did specially Dota 2 and Warcraft etc. then they might get that consideration on sports betting sites but for now they are focused on pc games rather than on mobile ones.

Currently on game 2,Optic is on the lead.

Currently on game 2,Optic is on the lead.

Having said that Optic Gaming lost while Virtus.Pro will advance to the next round against EG. I'm sure that this isn't going to be an easy match for EG as VP is one of the toughest team today.

I'm with Virtus.Pro for their match.

While on the other side, it's VGJ.Storm vs. Secret.

VGJ.Storm's good during the elimination process but I know that Secret won't let them advance.

VP did well on 2nd game and took the the higher spot.Im currently watching VGJ and Secret and they are on draft as of this time.I cant still believe that secret do made this far if we do base their current
performances they do really improved as of this year and going back in TI 7 they have been eliminated earlier LB Round 2 by Liquid.

Me too I'm watching it as well.

Team Secret's heroes - Clinks, Necrophos, Earthshaker, Silencer and Meepo.

VGJ.Storm's heroes - Mirana, Templar Assassin, Wraith King, KOTL, Undying.

If VGJ.Storm will win this series and hopefully if EG will win as well. It will be brothers against brothers on the mid lane.

Round 1 is hard for VGJ and Team secret is currently owning as of this moment.Meepo is too fat even Templars assasin refraction is useless having a backup of clinkz plus global silence then sustain from necrophos
and now they took the first round(Secret).
