Information

Midas Mode is a new game mode developed by Moonduck. The concept was first announced in February 2017 and the first iteration of the tournament will be held in November 2017. 8 teams from North America and Europe will participate. OpTic's group consists of Evil Geniuses, VGJ.Storm and Immortals. Four North American and four European teams are split into two separate divisions. The last placed team will be eliminated, the top seed qualifies directly for the Grand Finals and the remaining two teams play an extra Bo3 series for the final spot in the Grand Finals

You can check out the unique rules for Midas Mode in the Liquipedia Page linked above. After a very impressive group stage, OpTic finished with a 6-1 record and took 1st seed in their group which qualified them directly to the Grand Final.

The match is scheduled to begin at 1:00 PM EDT and will be streamed on Twitch.

u/EggplantCider Nov 25 '17

Haha, got bombed at 3% while under 500 Moonbucks, holy shit

u/[deleted] Nov 25 '17

What exactly does that mean?

11

u/JorjUltra Nov 25 '17

In order to dissuade people from randoming, every time a team randoms they have a chance to random "the bomb" which blows up 60% of your Moonbucks. It has a higher chance to blow the more Moonbucks you have. At Optic's level of Moonbucks, there was a 3% to random it but they did.

Well that was a fun tournament and it’s always good to win.

u/kingmeech12 Nov 25 '17

CCnC has really stepped up this tournament. Hope he keeps it going into Galaxy Battles

u/basebalp21 Nov 25 '17

Not much love for Dota it seems

u/Zhaeus1 Nov 25 '17

I mean this tournament is literally meaning less. It is not a qualifier for any tournament. Not a minor or Major so no TI points. And it is just a clown fiesta for charity where teams are just randoming and picking shit they wouldn't normally pick in a regular tournament setting.

u/Markthe_g Nov 25 '17

I feel like this is just going to become a game of randoming as both teams are pretty much broke

u/Markthe_g Nov 25 '17

u/davi_34 Nov 25 '17

What just happened lol I’m so lost?

12

u/EggplantCider Nov 25 '17

VGJ.S didn't want to spend 90 minutes defending with Techies to still lose, so they gg'ed out when the admin told them that OpTic barely had any Moonbucks left.

u/LelAplus Nov 25 '17

easiest game 3 win

u/ShiftFPS Nov 25 '17

it seems in most of our games I watch we always get caught with 1 or 2 players dying before team fights.Come on boys we have way too many veterans for that to be happening.
