I hope Talon also secures an upper bracket spot. I'm not entirely sure if they already have since they’re in the top two, the chances are high. Hopefully, their winstreak continues into the playoffs and they end up winning the championship.

Not yet, they're in the tiebreaker against BetBoom. If they win then they secure the upper bracket and they will be against Parivision. But if they lose then they go to the lower bracket.

Honestly, I didn’t know about this tiebreaker. Upon checking Liquipedia, I see the tiebreaker and that is BO3. Checking the groupstage 2 standing I think BB should be in the upper bracket because they have fewer map losses and games compared to Talon. That way, DreamLeague wouldn't need this tiebreaker. I support Talon, but based on the numbers (win-loss in maps), there shouldn't be a tiebreaker and BB should be in upper bracket.

But still I support Talon I'm still hoping for Talon to win this tiebreaker match for upper bracket. As for AG vs GG elimination, I’ll go with GG  I want to see more plays from Quinn and the team.

Just started watching this Betboom vs Talon match and yes it does say Tiebreakers right in the middle of the screen while the teams are doing drafts.

This should be an interesting matchup since Talon has been on a roll and one of the better teams this tournament and Betboom has been always clutch when it comes to their must win games.

As ralle14 mentioned Aurora Gaming are playing against Gaimin Gladiators in the other series happening later on in the day.
Was watching some other tournament named MGL but all the teams had PH behind their names. Believe it was Team LiquidPH vs Team FalconsPH.

Great series for both teams today but I think BetBoom played better and it's a well deserved victory but I cannot see them winning against PariVision tho... . Talon on the other hand , woke up a bit sleepy and draft 1&3 were a complete mess so no wonder they lost those maps.

Now , I'm watching Aurora vs GG and to be honest Aurora will easily take this game and series and eliminated GG from DreamLeague season 26 because GG is clearly having issues with this patch and Quinn seems to be in the worst phase of his career so far.

Gaimin is still doing okay, but we'll see in the third map if Aurora can close this one out, or if Gaimin Gladiators complete the reverse sweep to deny them the last spot for the Esports World Cup.

I wouldn't say this is Quinn's roughest point in his career. His NA days back then were much worse, given that his team usually hit their limits, unlike with the current Gaimin roster, where the ceiling is much higher.

BB is now at the upper bracket after beating Talon Esports.

While we want to see more of Quinn, this has to end now. They've been eliminated by Aurora gaming and that's how the playoffs will proceed.

Upper bracket -> Parivision vs. BetBoom
Lower bracket -> Aurora vs. Talon


It seems that there are a lot of former great chinese players and teams are coming back in action. I want to see the chinese region dominate again the world but, will still they be able to do that?

The lower bracket match just ended with Talon sweeping Aurora, the first game one should've been in the bag for them after having a good early game, but Ws' Enigma was clutch with the 2-3 man blackholes.

Then game two was a complete stomp as Aurora overcooked their draft and lost their lanes so bad, they had to bring in everyone only to kill one of Talon's cores.

I doubt the Chinese teams will dominate like they used to, but there's a sliver of hope in Tidebound if they can lock it in.

While watching the matches earlier yesterday the tournament casters mentioned they had just applied another patch to the game (7.39b). Is this normal procedure for them to put in these patches while a tournament is progress? I mean it is right in the middle of it while teams are playing in their progression for a prize during these matches. And the announcer did say it was to cause nerfs and buffs aswell.

[boltz]

Anyone watching PariVision vs BetBoom grand finals ?

Pari picked Pudge once again in 1st map and they are owning the map with this hero which really shows that is not that they suit the meta and dominate so hard ...it's simply the fact that they are better than anyone else in the competition right now and it's simply based on skill.

Yup. They always release a balance or letter patch right away because the major patches, like the 7.39 will always have a bunch of heroes that are too strong.

The players on PARIVISION are just too good, they also picked it against Gaimin the other day and still made it work together with the Veno offlane.

Tidebound can do it and I've seen the recent comebacks of the former legends that they have from that region. While we know not all comebacks are good for all of these once great players. The meta is changing, and updates are making the strong ones to become poor performers depending on how they play.

They made the game easy. I think that they are the strongest team right now and if they break the curse of being a TI champ. That means whichever team dominates in the whole year can be already considered a champ.

PariVision were dominating throughout the dreamleague tournament and were just simply unstoppable winning 31-4 of their matches.

Nice $250,000 prize amount from the $1million grand prize.

Not just that, on top of that. They're already qualified for the most sought tournament after TI for all dota 2 players and teams, Esports World Cup. Being the top 1 in the EPT leaderboard, that made him get a slot for that. And also, with TI, they already have the direct invite. So, Parivision is doing it and getting all of the prize money that they get while they are on their prime.

They're just locked in compared to the other top teams that participated, and it looked like a done deal for them when the second-best team in the tournament was playing with a standin.

Also, i'm a bit hyped for this week because we'll be having some CS2 action with the first stage of the Austin Major starting tomorrow.

Just started watching the beginning of this tournament with Heroic introed and their team looks the freshest team out there.
They just won their first matchup against a team I never heard of called Chinggis warriors in convincing fashion 13-7 and now playing NRG for their second of the day.
It will be in three stages for this one so it lasts from the 3rd to the 22nd.

Situation after day 2 of major stage 1-



Heroic and B8 are throught after 3-0 score while metizport and Fluxo are sadly out after 0-3 scores 

[rdbase]

^^
Both series today ended in a 0-2 results. With Lynn Vision defeating NRG and Legacy beating Wildcard.
Which was surprising because Wildcard were winning against some of those tier 1 teams from what I remember during the first few days of this tournament.
FlyQuest is takign on TYLOO and is the last match of the day.
Currently the Chinese team are winning the final map 9-2 and I will predict they will do away with FlyQuest.

I agree, it's unexpected to see both NA teams go down against one of the Chinese teams and the other against the Brazilians.

I also remember the bookies set them as the slight favorites to win their series, but unfortunately, they were in their off game today.

Tyloo made it through stage 2 as well while FlyQuest fell short again, similar to their previous major run. I have to say they deserve it after meeting decent opponents throughout their stage 1 run.

Makor stage 2 starting today!!

Faze ve heroic most hyped series after simple called them fucking noobs

While The International regional qualifier is on going, maybe others haven't noticed it yet that the Esports World Cup qualifiers are also on going on all of the regions. And here are the teams that have already qualified and got a direct invite for this tournament, the prize is not yet known but we're having the idea that it will be millions again.

True, TYLOO were expected to make it through since they are the more experienced out of the two.
They say Chinese CS is coming back!

Noticed this too while check HLTV but they didn't have the teams playing yet or the times.
Also seen s1mple making the headlines with his opinions on teams which is disgraceful since he has been away from playing for what it seemed to be over a year.

@passwordnow
Since those dota2 matches being played for TI qualifiers during the week.

It's a good thing the qualifiers aren't conflicting, so teams don't have to worry about missing one of the two big tournaments, unlike in CS2.

We've got another stacked weekend as League of Legends also has some playoff matches between several regions (LCK, LEC, LPL, and LTA).

That's one way to spice things up after they lost in their previous meeting at IEM Dallas.
