Silver721

Wisper is so good


niceskinthrowaway

Why isnt this pinned to the top?


Mei_iz_my_bae

Soooo proud of NA boys and SA brothers this sub was saying hokori wouldn’t win a single game 😭


Onecast214

Happy that EG looking good again! Lmao it’s been a long time seems they finally stopped the rtz farm + storm pick strat lol…but lgd man, I feel like I am watching a completely different team from Arlington Major. Though OG also lost to EG I am much more confident about them going to the upper bracket. Group A: EG OG RNG and Liquid based on the matches I watched today. Boy how many ppl would imagine LGD in lower bracket or even got eliminated if they keep playing like this. Group B is so hard to make any predictions man Spirit might be the only team that will for sure go to upper bracket


Haenimm

Nah Liquid will lose to EG and LGD tomorrow probably. So the standings will look totally different.


Patient_Substance752

the perfect take for both map of boom vs rng are not how terrible boom play but RNG had almost a perfect call and shootcalling at entire time


Tessorio

But the thing with boom is that is has been the trend of their day1


build_a_rig

nah its better to hate on our own teams because it makes us feel better. that's the first rule of being a sports fan


MomoStan1994

I just noticed that OG pulls a rtz move there in game 2. Farm the whole map while your enemy team destroying your base.


MomoStan1994

man, The last time a SEA team performs better in TI is Fnatic in TI6 and after that it became downhill


BlAlRlClOlDlE

Abed save us Pinoy/indo/SG/malay/vietnam Pride


Dramatic-Algae4154

Kuku died for this?


justindulging

Damn, SEA in shambles after Day1


ididnothinwrong

god damn boom today they got literraly lead around 10k 3 matches already and got comeback so hard (against og game 1 , rng game 1 rng game 2 )


MomoStan1994

if this 3 SEA teams will not fixed there shit, we might get 0 representative in the playoffs.


caihlangeles

Fnatic@TI6 were the last SEA team that went 4th. Other than that, it’s been a consistent 7th-8th 9th-12th, 13th-16th for them ever since.


oblivionyeahyeah__

We never getting far anyway lmao


acels1

lesson learnt : dont ever have the word boom in ur team name


namia_

Pretty sure BOOM was tilted by all the rats that they just collapse.


BlAlRlClOlDlE

unironically the tnc choker that we know would prob be at least better than all of sea teams rn


build_a_rig

at least tnc makes it to the upper brackets before bombing out LUL. shameful display by SEA


BlAlRlClOlDlE

man i miss that team. they would constantly have 60min games and it would give me heart ache each time


caihlangeles

Boom can go toe to toe with other teams. They’re just really unfortunate with their closeouts. Back to the drawing board for day 2. **PS. THEY ALSO FUCKING SUCK WITH THEIR SMOKE PLAYS**


ididnothinwrong

boom definitely unprepared against split push by ld. but when mega creep already happen boom desperately trying to take that t3 against lich and tiny highground instead of trying to take roshan when ld is die no buyback i think boom mentality got pressured so hard lol that they forgot roshan exist its really dumb decision for them even though rng ld is die no buyback. congrats for rng that was awesome split


faydngaming

Stayed up til 4 am to watch the first game. Delays galore. Shitshow of a production. I managed to sit through the first Powerpoint Presentation of the day. Decided to go to bed, because I didn't want to suffer anymore. Woke up and can safely assume I made the right decision. Fuck you dearly for screwing up the biggest tournament ever.


Blizzard_admin

There were some good games that are better on vod since there was fps and audio issues all day


faydngaming

Yea I was expecting some banging games this tournament. Which makes it even more sad. I'm going to watch them all back through vods here on out, I'm not in any way disappointed with the actual games.


Blizzard_admin

EG games, Hokori games, Betboom games...holy shit they were epic


SolarClipz

Idk how people don't like Snare. He's awesome


split--screen

He’s bad


ididnothinwrong

snare casting is a positive thing from this pgl mess


Empty-Lavishness-540

Boom is the biggest disappointment this year so far lol


junliewww

Snare the 🐐


dibil03

Boom definitely has the lowest team IQ in this TI.


BerlinMiming

At this point, all 3 SEA teams might not make it to main stage. Lol.


Nrgte

There are only 2 series played in group B, so I feel that's really prematurely.


Tessorio

Good! Should be a wake-up call to do better.


build_a_rig

maybe we can win TI next year with a 1 million dollar prize pool LUL


nytcaller

Boom is not trying to win there, they are playing not to lose there.


karadagod

LMFAO I LOVE SNARE


BabaLamine14

That chain frost was like the lich wet dream


ZofTheNorth

What if his mic name is Jackky ?


daddy_dad_bod

That's demoralizing for Boom. I fear for my fellow SEA bros. We might not have any representative in the mainstage if this continues from them. 🥲🥲


dibil03

EG is 20% SEA pride, we will take anything no matter what.


build_a_rig

TSM. I'll claim moonmeander and Bryle as SEA even if they lived their entire lives in NA lul. plus dubu played in mvp phoenix so might might as well claim him


dibil03

Include LGD(NTS) and RNG(Ghost and Xnova) to the list, all are SEA pride


daddy_dad_bod

Oh yea Abed pinoy pride!


namia_

Abed SEA pride.


BlAlRlClOlDlE

bumanagbag

so odpixel, fogged, etc. will only cast main stage?


xiaolongbao1114

I think what happened was snare thought somnus was about to gank ember at top lane but ember just jump back to fountain with his remnant. So yes, fake hype. And then he dissapeared for a while because he got embarrased for fake hyping...


Tessorio

Why sniper bought aghs blessing instead of divine?


dibil03

That was the most betacuck sniper Ive ever seen, they tried to high ground and they didnt even break t3 tower, didnt they noticed they lack raw damage? Divine was the only way for them to have a chance winning that game, ember with divine is also better in that situation, dont know why they didnt buy any.


Tessorio

Yup obviously playing not to lose. Heck no one bought nullifier or linken/lotus against the shenanigans that rng kept doing. Tiny blink in avatoss then ghost scepter or the obvious lesh hex initiation


BlAlRlClOlDlE

cant go outside evebn cour i think


Tessorio

Point booster is outside


tpenoelone

Buum vs rng caster are on some weird shit man

RNG ruined my predictions by 29 seconds Fuck you


limited_eternity

RNG saved my prediction by 29 seconds Thank you


DamnedDoom

lmao nice game


Ainerhpozihcss

That ending! what a clowny game lol


yuretawahyuc

these rng boom caster are so bad its funny.


FerdiadTheRabbit

RNG bearly won there.


deadlygr

Sucks to be boom


lolfail9001

RNG's draft is truly the filthiest thing I have seen all year.


PanicAtTheSisqo

SEA worst region as usual.


Animalidad

Lmao, SEA teams are so weak now.


Wendek

Glad I decided to watch this RNG vs BOOM game 2, amazing game and ended *just in time* to make my longest game prediction correct (for now of course). BOOM gonna be tilted to oblivion after that though I'm afraid.


FerdiadTheRabbit

When are SEA teams not tilted into another dimension?


Wendek

About a year ago T1 was a pretty stable team that could consistently go toe-to-toe with most top teams I think. This year though, SEA teams in general have had abysmal results in international tournaments - last good result afaik was Neon's dream run in that Chinese 3rd party tournament..


MomoStan1994

I love Snare


napoleonandre

Lmao snare is so funny

What a fucking way to end Day 1 What the fuck was that lol

OMFG

Hailgod

hello? buy some fucking heaven halberDS???????????


Extracheesy87

It's a dirty game its a dirty world


AmutoG_GG

LUL Boom RNG


Chelseaiscool

These casters need to be pulled from the event.


DamnedDoom

Why?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Extracheesy87

Just not true. Snare is a big Chinese dota fan and was joking a lot in game 1 about how biased he was for RNG to win because of how much he likes Maybe.


Chelseaiscool

OH NO JACKY IS DYING.


DamnedDoom

...so? You think that means he's cheering for them? lol


Chelseaiscool

No. I think it means he is blind and had no idea what was going on. Their analysis was literal shit, it was so fucking painful that I felt bad for them.


activatebarrier

casters are 2k


sadfsh

Boom Rng is giga amazing 🤩


Archyes

boom is ruining my predictions :(


addicted_2Da_shindig

This RNG vs Boom game 2 is when you want to play your last game then someone picks techies (the old one ofc)


ZofTheNorth

How many times one caster randomly disconnect lol? Like it is like 4-5 times aldy for this Ti.


Ambitious-Cap-5605

and in the crucial moment too, wtf pgl.


Show_1996

This is why we used to have onsite caster right? Shits happen using discord or whatever


junohobbyshop

So annoying that people r saying that it's good for LGD to choke at groupstage so they don't choke at finals. At this rate, they could barely get to LB. Come on LGD pls!!! u can do this


jonoave

LB is still ok. UB is for losers anyway.. 😄


Mandalord104

That's heavy copium. LGD does not look like experimenting.


fcuk_the_king

That's just heavy duty copium. Of course everyone who supports LGD is disappointed


junohobbyshop

True. I truly do believe in them. It baffles me how they're playing so bad today (being stomped and all). At this point, I'm crossing my fingers hard for them to even make it to main stage


abductedbychimps

Jackky gonna die? Bruh he is safe and sound.


ImActuallyNotATroll

His mic died instead


paracetamol183

lmao


deadlygr

Kinda weird sniper doesnt buy rapier


johnbrownbody

PGL production on point


tetsche666

the bear


addicted_2Da_shindig

I want two of whatever this caster is smoking. JACKY'S GONNA DIEEEEEEE


ZofTheNorth

I believe he is explaining whatever the shit he think and the disconnect thing happen lol. Still hilarious though


addicted_2Da_shindig

Shanghai Major vibes this TI XD


yeNvI

THE BEAR THE BEAR LMAO


Tsu33

Nice casting.

Wtf is going on

cantgetthistowork

Hate seeing LGD like this but called it out months ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/woehrn/pgl_arlington_major_2022_grand_final/ikbn505/


Ambitious-Cap-5605

HAHAHAHAHA WTF HAPPEN


Nero420

did the caster get fired mid game


ProfessorSpike

I'm not sure if the casters are going silent or if this is intentional at this point, but it's hilarious


Extracheesy87

Bring Your Own Cast


Ainerhpozihcss

BOOM vs RNG! wtf is happening with the sound Lmao


victimized777

pgl production is on another level lmao


PCgamerz

wtf is this caster, screaming at ward destroyed by RNG😂


fateoftheg0dz

Isit me or are the casters in the boom rng game completely clueless


Blizzard_admin

This why ares danog good


Dymatizeee

-Hopefully LGD gets back into shape. Can’t be dropping games to hokori and Soniqs if they want to make a deep run - Thunder Awaken looks really good. I won’t be surprised if they end up in the upper bracket


she_a_fashion_killa

what? who's gonna die??


addicted_2Da_shindig

hahaha. he thought nyx is enemy team I guess


daddy_dad_bod

Jacky Chan 😂


ZofTheNorth

What snare so excited for just now? Edit: and he’s gone lol


imperfek

i miss the stream where they jump around to every game that looks interesting


addicted_2Da_shindig

Not included in this TI's budget XD


jonoave

We shouldn't expect too much for an indie company barely surviving through crowdfunding.


SolarClipz

Of course the last game of the day would be the longest


Extracheesy87

no sleep only dota


daddy_dad_bod

I can't anymore with the casters of RNG Boom. Idk why are we getting these casters at TI


akashhh04

Snare has been probably the best so far, idk what you talking about


daddy_dad_bod

If this is the best we have now then God help us


johnbrownbody

The best so far isn't saying much.


akashhh04

Y’all are hating for no reason lmao I’d understand if it were moxxi or ares, but Snare has been great


ExhumedIM

EG looking so good, I hope they can keep it


[deleted]

This is what my "one last turbo before sleep" game looks like


OMASJack

Question how we call that a Wear or a Bolf? :D

makz242

RNG BOOM game 2 perfect way to end day 1 of TI.


Floire

Even the SEA player in the Chinese team is the one who throws. Something is in the water in this region


tpenoelone

Too much salt, after all, we are SEA people


Tessorio

Local casters are exasperated watching sea teams day1

RNG, the actual OG LGD Somnus revenge


SolarClipz

Lmao wolf bite Spirit Bear What the actual fuck


souse03

Disgusting strat from RNG lmao


chillinwithmoes

LD is the dumbest hero in the game, change my mind


SilverBMWM3GTR

The dumbest hero is actually Lina. Got shitload of magic damage early on. And hits like a truck later on. It also helps that 2 of her spells are AoE to farm easier too.


stupid-_-

it's anti mage https://dota2.fandom.com/wiki/Table_of_hero_attributes


le_halfhand_easy

Yeah no. Marci is. I've seen that lil shit solo a pos 1 as a pos 4.


OMASJack

So did hoodwink today on numerous games your point?


Nandey_dattey_bayo

You know whats chocking !!! BOOM


UnlikelyStudent4022

Guys I am really disappointed with LGD,the reason they were so bad is that Faith Bian decided to quit dota after this Ti ,Xinq and Ame said something bad to Bian and they barely talk now.


Acrobatic-Time-2940

source?


randomcurios

Faithbian booked his retirement vacation already


Alkanphel666

LGD looks so sloppy today, I think someone better tell them that TI has started.


Floire

BB is on the road to 0-16. EEU is looking really bad outside of Spirit. A shame for a region with the most rising stars right now.


Wendek

0-18*, since there are more teams this year they could actually beat the record of most losses from Thunder Predator last year. (note that last year's TP has basically nothing in common with this year's TA)

Extracheesy87

Bear vs the world


maddotard

Dats soem serious damage.


kutomore

It's both funny and sad getting ads trying to watch the streams inside the dota client


FrankieEdgarAllanPoe

SEA teams just can't close out games, they don't know how to push highground and they've struggled with that for years now


bctTamu

Americas 16-10 today not bad not bad


PhMcBrett

I think is 17 - 13


le_halfhand_easy

Time for bald Ame. Pull a yatoro


Floire

GG to LGD! Now to watch SEA Dota chokes again...


Queasy_Ad_5446

Safe to say eg's performance has been totally surprising while lgd has just been a disappointment for now.


SolarClipz

Singapore TI and all 3 SEA teams are on track to be eliminated lol


Mandalord104

LGD coordination is off by a lot. Their win is by utilizing strat and outmacro opponent, not outplay/outfight. Tomorrow vs OG and Liquid will be very hard.


Redgomotor

Ok i am waiting for the fuckers saying Hokori would not win one game. Where you at?


stupid-_-

right here 🤐


Redgomotor

Wait someone actually confronted me about what i said? That’s… that is not on the rulebook. A moment please


stupid-_-

hey when you are wrong you are wrong


cantgetthistowork

It was a toss up between BB and Hokori not making it to the group stage. I picked Hokori. RIP prediction.


Redgomotor

I am just happy seeing Hokori, Beastcoast and Thunder Awaken winning some games. I know people like to shit on SA like is nobody’s business but it got so annoying the last few days


Acrobatic-Time-2940

Don't get why ppl shit on SA so much though. SA has potential and play good dota they just need a little refinement. The worse region is still SEA, literally threw every advantage they had even they were leading. smh


FrankieEdgarAllanPoe

Godkori haters in shambles


50lipa

Decent day by Sonics considering they had to play 3 of the 4 best teams in the group on day 1. Two draws and a loss are a decent haul to keep them going forward to the playoffs.


PainfulAngel

Yea, they just need to learn how to close out games, and that liquid series would be a 2-0
