There are still people who use Photoshop? Then they are either pirates or designers, we always say here hehe. If I'm not mistaken Adobe now makes monthly license right? Oh yes I forgot mafia of course.

Anyway back to topic, Monday is very busy for me so I have to either try submit as soon as I see it Monday or make it back late on Tuesday and answer sleepy since forum BSFL deadline is past midnight for me.

good thing that we missed on international football with a break, so Cro2 can focus on club football for first round questions

all the best in new season to all participants, let's have fun, and kudos to Sportsbet, Trofo and cryptofrka for organizing all this

Don't worry, I'm sure that Teofo and cryptofrka will find some non football related questions for the first round. I would be surprised if they didn't. I just hope there won't be any DOTA questions as they are so hard to predict.

Good luck to all the participants from me too. It will be a long season.

Just because you called me Teofo, I am writing DOTA questions asap. Kidding aside, there will be DOTA question for sure in round  1 and probably 2. The International is going on which is like world cup in eSport circles. But format is a little strange so I have to see how to ask something meaningful that will be ok for our competition format.

Oh no, no, nooooo monsignor Teofoooo
What did I do to deserve this DOTA kids video game punishment again?  
I forgot to add some DOTA details in your logo, but I think they have snakes and other serpents there.

If anyone missed what I wrote yesterday, my bet of the day is double chance X2 on Finland against Slovenia.
Maybe the force be with you.

Please check your DM messages, I asked you some questions.

Ah shit! Now I will blame my mobile keyboard for the fact that I need to research DOTA. I knew that you will make hard for us to begin the season. I just hope I won't be up against some of the DOTA experts here. In fact I'm not sure if there are DOTA experts here besides you.

[Trofo]

I just hope I won't be up against some of the DOTA experts here. In fact I'm not sure if there are DOTA experts here besides you.

There are, don't worry. I know at least 5 people here on the forum from the top of my head. But i wouldn't call any of them experts and neither I would call myself that.

If I had to put a label on myself I would say Tennis expert first, than eSports, then Snooker, then Football. But that would be in order how much money they make me when betting on them. I know by far most about football but bookies know everything there and there is no advantage to be made. I just started following eSports in covid era when all else was stopped and I stayed since they are so easy to take profit from. Missing way too much history there to be expert but it doesn't really affect me negatively due to the patches and meta changes.

If you want real eSport expert, try following this guy - Rand. Learned a lot from him. Not really active lately but came back for The internationals.

Yeah the 2nd phase is pretty weird, basically 16 teams left and none will get eliminated on the 2nd phase according to the description because 16 teams will still get to the playoff (?). Most likely the same as regular group stage on the 1st phase but they kinda reword it completely so this is going to be the decider for upper and lower bracket for the playoff huh

Oh just great! I barely got used to the upper and lower bracket system and now there is something different. Maybe it's easier to just give up on that question... Or maybe Trofo decides not to include DOTA because of this? (fingers crossed)

It is simple when you see it. Just one extra match where 1st in the group takes 4th, and so on, for the placing in upper/lower bracket. Does not change much how things will go on afterwards but sort of kills many good questions for me since it will be finished before the deadline

Have to study it a bit more and see what time the games are played later on.

What are my chances if an eSports expert like you had to research the entire tournament? Well, I enjoy DOTA questions, so go ahead. This is just what I needed to begin the season.

[cryptofrka]

So its start on Monday, basically 1 day for the first round huh. Normally you guys gave out question on Sunday though. Totally cant wait, I hope I dont miss out any round again on the 3rd season

Nope, I wrote Monday because I kind of look at it weekly - Monday til Sunday is the round, although we never have Monday questions.

Questions will be given to you tomorrow - so no changes there.

There are still people who use Photoshop? Then they are either pirates or designers, we always say here hehe. If I'm not mistaken Adobe now makes monthly license right? Oh yes I forgot mafia of course.

I have mafia PS version, of course.

The International is going on which is like world cup in eSport circles.

You say this a lot. How many world cups do these guys play, 7 per year?

[darxiaomi]

Well i was a little lose this last times so i dont recheck so much this thread, is any new? My and my team were in pre-season in a place without so much acces to the internet so the guys can focus on the training, we have the desire to win this tournament.

that is just what I thought
wasn't there some important tournament in Saudi Arabia, called International or Final, in last season

is that similar to GS in tennis, or something else
thought that Saudi Arabia final was some culmination, not following much, but was it something like 20 in the name, I thought that is Final for previous 20 tournaments, obviously wrong, or they are playing all the time

Yeah there wont be anything that sort this week if dota2 get included in the question but check the playoff and final dates for that, its on the last week of October so that means it probably gets included in the 2nd round of 3rd season if cro2 team decided to put in another dota2 related question

Anyway upper and lower bracket system is pretty interesting once you are familiar with it. Basically it gives advantage to the team that perform their best on group stages because some teams loves to keep some of their strategy on group stages

Gotcha !

So the last Riyadh Master tournament with $15M prizepool wasnt part of the official tournament by Valve as the developers of the game

Valve created sequences of official tournaments throughout the year and the final tournament for it would be The International. All the teams need to get points from all these official tournaments by placing on top otherwise they need to go through the regional qualifiers to get to The International

Aside from the official tournaments, there are some other tournaments as well sponsored by the other organization that has nothing to do with The International even if you win all of them so basically just prize money if your team win

Yes, I got familiar with upper and lower bracket system because of the BSFL competition. It's a good system but I'm not that used to it in "normal" sports so it took me a while to understand it. I didn't refer to that as a complication, but on the thing that you wrote about none of the teams getting eliminated. I don't know, I just hope there won't be more than one DOTA question so it's not a big problem to lose that point.

That part when nobody gets eliminated will be finished today. After that it is normal upper/lower bracket, but I have to make question today so it gives me problems and has no influence on you guys.

There will never be more than one eSport question per round, and I am quite sure that eSports questions in general will not be included in more than half of the rounds. Same goes for any other fringe sport.

thanks man, it is understandable now
although, I don't think that I will follow it more

let's wait for first round questions, and see what will DOTA bring
have to say that I don't like upper and lower bracket system, less chances for underdogs to shine, but favorable for sponsors to see all the best in finals

[slaman29]

I'm happy to inform everyone that notblox1 has delivered my logos and they are truly very nice (in my opinion).

Now my only thing to ask is, how do I use them for BSFL?

The International is going on which is like world cup in eSport circles.

You say this a lot. How many world cups do these guys play, 7 per year?

Even in tennis only 4 GSs and max they play every 2 days. I noticed we did 2 Dreamleagues in last BSFL season where some teams even played 2 rounds in 24 hours. That's a high turnover "sports" with millions of prizes, I feel like maybe the organizers are washing money lol

[Trofo]

Nothing for now, notblox1 will send me a pack of everything he made and I will integrate them into our tables. When I say I, I mean we will make joker_josue do it 

Later on maybe we will do something more with club pages but that is still to be seen.

[cryptofrka]

Season 3, let's go!


The questions for Round 1 are here!

The deadline is the usual one, Tuesday October 17th, 17:00 GMT.

Please don't submit late, from this season onwards late submission means instant loss, a 0-3 GD for that round and an additional -1 penalty point.
There will also be no tags on Tuesdays, so prepare your reminders
The new set of rules can be found in this post, and in the OP.

We have modified the spreadsheet a bit - you will now see who submitted and when but will not see the submitted answers until the deadline has passed.
The new spredsheet is here, and you can always find it in the 3rd post of the thread.

Good luck, let's have a great season! We'll be implementing logos soon (thanks joker_josue - our Excel guru) so maybe get yours here - notblox1 is really doing some quality work with them.
