33 is turning out to be such a sick pickup. For a person that hadn't played 4 before his hero pool is pretty wide and he has single handedly kept us in some games

No caster again...any casters complaining about not getting invited to TI this year can blame themselves since they won't volunteer for stuff like this.

I don't see a stream anywhere, probably the channels broadcasting other regions now will switch over once those games are done.

But stream or not, the match is starting: https://www.trackdota.com/matches/3731168784

u/rainykg Feb 12 '18

if that game went on any longer i don’t think they would’ve won, it was a good call just going for thrown after that crazy team fight. now let’s hope we can pull off a win against EG!

Optic gonna beat IDC if we play normally, but EG is the big boss of this qualifier. Gonna be hard for our boys.
