they don't seem to be that good even with Solo as the captain and 9pasha.

I disagree about this part, back then in VP they had a lot of solid results with pasha and Solo winning some majors but they failed to finish strong in TI kind of similar to Team Secret. Not sure what's the actual reason but Ramzes probably lost his drive to play carry with the meta changing one patch after the other. During that time Sumail also moved to the offlane role but it didn't work out for him then tried the carry role (trial with OG) and then back to the mid position now with Team Liquid.

AFAIK, they only did get one Major Cup when they were in VP but after that as you have said, they didn't perform at their best in TI, I think that they got picked off by the least favorite team to win the TI or I could be wrong. I really want to see Ramzes go back to playing carry because I feel like it is his strongest suit to be positioned in.

Seems to me that this is going to be a really good major, a lot of powerhouse teams are going to play in this Major and why did they name it as AniMajor though? That's what I am curious about.

I'm guessing the anime theme is inspired by the netflix animated series Dragon's blood that's based on Dragon Knight's lore which is one of the many heroes in the game and WePlay's production is really good when it comes to things like these.

After the first day results it's surprising how close these teams are than they should've been on paper.

[DOTA 2, Thursday June 3rd] Day 2 of AniMajor is upon us. On day 1 we saw eight incredible series, while most of the matches ended up in a tie.

Invictus Gaming vs Vici Gaming: Invictus Gaming +0.5 @ 1.53 | ANALYSIS

Invictus Gaming vs AC Monaco Gambit: Invictus Gaming -0.5 @ 1.51 | ANALYSIS

Invictus Gaming vs Team Secret: Invictus Gaming +0.5 @ 1.52 | ANALYSIS

GL all!

[boyptc]

IG won 2-0 against Secret but both teams from the wild card have been eliminated and it's has able to catch the next stage.

More bets rand on June 5-a and 5-b and then June 6 and 7.

But I think it's the playoffs is the most exciting part.

[DOTA 2, Monday June 7th] It's the final day of the AniMajor group stages. 4 matches remain, 4 matches that will determine a lot of things. Only team that is safe for now is PSG.LGD. They already secured top 2 and upper bracket playoffs. Here are my picks and predictions for Day 4 of group stages.

Spirit vs TNC: TNC +0.5 @ 1.36 | ANALYSIS
PSG.LGD vs Vici Gaming: Vici Gaming +0.5 @ 1.45 | ANALYSIS
Nigma vs beastcoast: Nigma -0.5 @ 2.11 | ANALYSIS
Team Liquid vs Evil Geniuses: Team Liquid +0.5 @ 1.60 | ANALYSIS

[boyptc]

I like your bets and would follow some, I'm more with TNC too that's being sure on this match up.

5 more minutes and the first match starts, PSG.LGD vs VG. Both Chinese teams.

[ralle14]

I also got the same pick on Team Nigma and it's looking good as the odds are now down to 1.90 on some bookies.

With VG going down 0-1 after the first game Team Nigma only need one win to avoid any potential tiebreakers and secure the upper bracket but hopefully they still get the 2-0 here.

You have won that bet. Nigma took down Vici Gaming with a 2-0 in that match after that, Nigma beat BC.

With all of those wins, Nigma ended to the upper bracket.

So the participants of the play offs are now set. The participants in the play offs have now been determined. I have to say, I feel pretty sorry for Team Liquid. After a good performance in match 2 against EG, they were in the lead for most of the tiebreaker match as well. Then they made a single mistake where first the invoker died and then 3 other team members including Luna. Until then, Luna was ahead by a large margin in net worth, but after that match the tide turned and Drow ranger was unstoppable. I also like the panel of the tiebreaker very much, very entertaining to watch.

The tiebreaker was about an easy win for the Team Liquid.

That mistake made by Sumail of going behind knowing that his teammates were still quite far is a wrong move. He didn't expected that lion was hiding on the trees cliff of the secret shop and stopped the centaur and enchantress to help him kill the DR.

And it's a turnover that it was his invoker got killed solo by the DR and that's it, the rest is history.

Here's some informations about them: https://liquipedia.net/dota2/WePlay_Esports

They probably want to cater to the anime watching fans of DOTA and non-DOTA fans that have the same interest in Anime. I think the reason is that it just sounds really good to the ears when you combine Anime and Major to make a portmanteau of a name. Or maybe the abundance of anime reference for different events in DOTA scene may have lead to the naming of the major.

I think it's just a theme that they all agreed because usually their majors doesn't have that kind of theme so they made it to have something new. Since they're likely seeing a lot of these players have been watching anime.

It's just to feel the theme that they're also liking the anime style that they've made. I think that we're going to see more when the last two teams are in the finals, more better cosplay I think.
