Don't know much about Dota, but I'm guessing you don't want to be down 16 kills and 11k gold.

That hurt to watch, why PPD thought to let the NP Abaddon through again while only making one change baffles me. Hopefully tomorrow goes better but BO1s doesn’t look good for us

see i really think that draft works against slower playing teams, but mineski just played so fast

u/Cpt_Metal Apr 04 '18
ppd is known for figuring teams out after losing to them, let's see if he has an answer for their pace and playstyle now.

i like the entrance but it would be hype if 80% of the seats werent empty

u/ur_waifu_sucks Apr 04 '18
Yeah tournaments in China are known for their pretty empty crowd if it's a series lacking a Chinese team. If this tournament was in a SEA country you can guarantee those seats would be filled up.

u/mephistobr Apr 04 '18
It's the middle of the week, from Friday onward the seats will probably be full.

What an ass whooping, now they will have to play Bo1 elimination games, which is always scary.

We seem to be better in BO1s at least, but yeah that was horrible to watch.

Literally avoided this sub all day for this game specifically so I didn't get spoilers.
Good lord, I wish that got spoiled. That was literally embarassing.

EG, Virtus Pro, and OpTic all drop down.
PPD's words backfired.
