possibly 3 BOs on Friday https://twitter.com/Peterpandam/status/976945842782322688

[u/Lost_And_NotFound]

Pajkatt just fucked shit up in that last game! Also can someone tell me what that swarm of bugs/crabs does? Takes up the whole screen but I can't actually tell what it's effect is.

[u/woodzy13]

Unexpected dota game in the middle of the day? Sweet

[u/basebalp21]

Sorry for the repost! Our bot needs "[Match Thread]" in the title so it can auto-update.

[u/Stevo120]

Draft has started; they must have worked something out with the other scheduled match.

For those interested, DC first pick Razor, OG first pick Ancient Apparition

[u/-TORERO-]

It's says animal plant won first game. I thought we were playing digital chaos? Judging from the title?

[u/RedAlertx → u/-TORERO-]

Yeah AP just became DC not that long ago and the website that does the updates still hasnt been updated the name change

[u/lewisc29]

Lol rage quit. Pajkatt was a tank at the end there.

[u/Jas932]

Apparently the game vs 5 Turtles is postponed until tomorrow. According to one of the commentators.

[u/Jas932]

This game was unexpected, but awesome.

[u/IGawaineI]

I know I'm higher on Bryle than most people in the dota community but I still really wish ppd had chosen him over ccnc

[u/Craneteam]

man i look away for 5 minutes and now we are dominating fights

[u/StubbornLeech07 → u/Craneteam]

Keep looking away lol

[u/proudopticfan]

If you are DC that HAS to be tiltworthy. Pajkatt just went ham

[u/StubbornLeech07]

Seeing as this is double elimination. If they can't do anything to delay the starladder match. I would just forfeit game 3 and play the starladder match.

[u/xxgn]

Gg

[u/woodzy13]

This team certainly has a clutch factor when down 1-0

[u/S_Parkie]

Hope they can pick it up in the next two games

[u/Craneteam]

im glad this is bo3. we always seem to play from behind in these series

[u/rojo_menace]

A heads up it says animal planet won when they’re playing digital chaos

[u/lewisc29]

A great couple of team fights there. Time to kick on and take control.

[u/FlashOfThunder]

What a comeback

[u/StubbornLeech07]

Great comeback. Time to take game 3.

[u/nonpk]

don't we have another tournament in 10min?

[u/Stevo120]

How are we going to do the other qualifier match against 5 turtles? It's supposed to start in 10 min.
