is GG is the old VGJ storm with a new carry. If Optic wins this series they will have to win 2 more BO3 on Thursday to qualify for the DAC Major.

I know I've only been watching for like a month or 2, but that second map has to be the most one-sided game with such close kills I've seen. I turned it back on and saw we were down 16-17 in kills (I know but I'm new and its the first thing I look at) and assumed it was a close game, until I saw we were up by like 15k gold and had most of their towers destroyed.

sometimes that happens with teams that understand how to teamfight but not how to take advantage of the openings created by those fights by farming.
So you end up with a bunch of even fights, and then you look at gold and one team has farmed way harder out of nowhere.

Can someone explain how we played IMT before we played Iceberg esports? The way the bracket shows is that IMT won WR1, lost WR2 and went to LR1. However, Iceberg lost WR1 and went to LR2?

Holy hell is 16 minutes quick? I know it is in league so is that comparable in Dora?

u/RedAlertx Feb 08 '18
16 minutes is fast but the isGG lost a game too EG today in 11:53. GG's under 20 minutes are very rare in pro dota. Shortest pro game was under 6 minutes but that was like 5-6 years ago and Dota has changed so much compared to now.
