The group stages are over, now onto the main event
Official hub site for the tournament, with schedule and standings.
Expext the bracket will be updated soon since the schedule for the first round of games has been decided. Unfortunately for me it's being played in Shanghai this year, with the worst possible time difference, so I may well miss basically everything as it happens live. Would like to see Navi do well but I can't see it happening.

eventvods.com seems pretty good if you want to watch matches without knowing the results
Seems they can't get away from showing how many games were played in a series though unfortunately, so in a best of 3 you'll know how the second game went once you know the result of the first

e: that is also an example of how it hides which teams even made it to different stages until you click on it
For anyone new to the game, don't forget you can watch the game in the client and still get the commentators of your choice. You miss out on custom overlays and replays they server, but you are able to hover over skills and items and read what they do, as well as change your perspective. You can even choose a particular player and see exactly how they control their camera and move their mouse!
e: it's all free, too. just download the game off steam!

70 minute game this shit needs to end, first game of the series too it's going to really suck for the loser.

By Kibner Go To PostWhat a throw from NaviSpent so long fannying about in the base going for t4s when they knew Mineski could easily wipe them
Getting back to the ancient in a way to actually utilise the lack of towers never seemed on the cards to me, certainly not enough that it was worth dying to provide the opportunity. Surely there were other objectives they could have gone for on the retreat?
Kinda insane that in a pool of 117 heroes, all but about 7 of them have had a use on the pro scene in a single tournament
Hope we see an Ursa pick at some point

By HasphatsAnts Go To PostI don’t think that’s particularly remarkable if the game is designed around “everything can work”Compared to literally every other moba or game with lots of heroes/classes, it's pretty unique.
By HasphatsAnts Go To PostI don’t think that’s particularly remarkable if the game is designed around “everything can work”I think it is pretty remarkable that in a pool of 117, there is no hero that is rendered pointless by another doing the same thing but better. Designing a hero that can be played effectively presumably isn't a challenge, adding one to such a huge pool and giving them a specific strength or two that makes them worthwhile over similar heroes, while neither underpowered or overpowered, must be though.
How the fuck do you play against that
Have to just ban either Io or Bristle surely and work around whoever they pick instead

By Hitch Go To PostAbsolutely fucking batteredYeah, but it's fun to watch. It's not like they keep overusing the same strat over and over again.
Yeah I love watching Jugg especially
Glad to see an Enchantress get rekt, though they were probably Newbee's best player in the game

Kind of thing Killer does by accident ¬¬
Do positions 1 to 5 basically correspond to the importance of the hero staying alive and getting farm? It's not really a thing at the level I play, where the categories are basically mid, carry or support, and possibly roamers and tanks.

I think the best thing about OG is the lack of egoistical manner of how they play. Topson is happy to create spaces with the high risk of dying, Ana is happy to let Topson farm first to get to his optimum level before doing it himself. Each of them are capable of sacrificing for the greater good of the game.
They are so comfortable with each other that you look at that clip where Ana bodyblocked Notail so he dies to an enemy for laughs. Think in most teams, if you even do it accidentally they'll get berated during and after the match for not acting professional.
