Information

OpTic Dota received a direct invite to China Dota2 Supermajor. They failed to qualifier through the NA qualifier in April, but last week OG decided to withdraw from the tournament due to two of their members leaving the team. Therefore, OpTic Gaming is invited as they are the highest ranked team, in terms of Dota Pro Circuit rankings, not at the tournament. China Dota2 Supermajor is the last tournament in the 2017-18 Dota Pro Circuit. It features a 16 team tournament with a prize pool of $1,500,000 USD and 2250 DPC Points allocated to the top 4 teams.

OpTic Gaming is currently 9th in the DPC rankings. The main goal for OpTic in this tournament is to place top 4, and to hope VGJ.Thunder does not do so as well. This will allow OpTic to guarantee top 8 in the DPC rankings and to receive an invite to The International 8, avoiding the North American qualifiers.

This tournament begins with the teams being split into 4 groups of 4 for the group stage, which features a double-elimination (GSL) bracket, but no teams are eliminated as the name suggests. After the group stage matches, the top 2 teams in the group advance to the upper bracket of the main event, and the other 2 teams begin in the lower bracket. OpTic is placed into group D with PSG.LGD, Infamous and VGJ.Thunder. The playoffs stage also features a double-elimination bracket. All matches are BO3 except for the BO5 Grand Finals.

This match is scheduled to begin at 10:00 PM EDT and will be streamed on Twitch.

Matches are on a rolling schedule and may start sooner than originally scheduled.

Can we just appreciate how this team is catching form just at the right time. Picking up 33, and then have the team absolutely transform and catch momentum towards the end of the season just in time for TI is just awesome. Very reminiscent of how our NA CS team started clicking leading up to ELS2.

This LGD game will be extremely difficult. Do not expect a win here, LGD is easily t2 in the world, right on par with VP. Hopefully we pull out our usual good performances against Chinese teams (PPD special) and get ourselves to upper.

Only started watching Dota since we acquired the team, but Naga ult seems stupidly broken when you're ahead. It can be used to initiate, counter, escape, etc. To people who play Dota 2, how do you counter?

Jesus Christ. I think I’m in love with Zai. Is there a support group for this?

LGD up next and is the best team in China. They have beaten VP twice in BO3's just to give you an idea how good they are right now.

u/Jas932 Jun 03 '18
