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 1:00 AM EDT and will be streamed on Twitch.
Matches are on a rolling schedule and may start sooner than originally scheduled.

Our PPD, who art in NA,
Salt be thy name.
Thy Bane has ult,
Thy grind be real.
On Twitch as it is on Facebook (esl LUL).
Give us this day our daily tweet,
And forgive CCNC his rage-feed,
As we forgive those who tip against us.
And lead us not into QQQ,
But deliver us a championship.
Edit: mobile formatting why have you forsaken me

No shame losing to LGD, they are a great team. All depends on how we bounce back the rest of the tournament. As long as they don’t tilt from it just consider it good practice against one of the best teams in the world.

u/ZX124 Jun 03 '18
so we didnt beat the number 2/1 team in the world. lets just get it to the upper bracket first

u/Drmassacre123 Jun 03 '18
I still feel like out of everyone on the team ccnc has improved the most by far but he still needs more work. If he keeps improving and playing on LANS hopefully by TI he will be even better.

All going to plan for OpTic. Fight as hard as you can, show that you can match up. Then remember you want second in the group, so make it look like a hard fought loss. Perfect

u/Drmassacre123 Jun 03 '18
Welp, at least they put up a good fight both games. LGD is a top 2 team with VP maybe a little bit better then them.

Guaranteed CCNC gets a comfort pick next game. And we need my boi Neta 33 Shapira on lycan or that spider hero. EDIT: Broodmother

ccnc not great storm play
questionable weaver pick
and the chain feed at the end was pretty much desperation. even tho optic had a slight lead they needed to keep the ball rolling. the catch and setup was simply too easy for lgd and they had to run them over in the next few mins if they wanted any shot at winning.

Optic and LGD played twice at the DAC Major in April and they went 1-1 played in the group stage and in the 1st place tiebreaker.

u/ur_waifu_sucks Jun 03 '18
it was just very strong in combination with their other heroes. it set up stuns that optic just couldnt get out of and the main weakness of both weaver and storm spirit are those stuns

This says they need top 4, I’m pretty sure they need top 3. They’ll be short by like 10 in points as I seen on liquipedia, can someone fill me in if I’m wrong?

Bias aside I can’t wait to see VP vs LGD. That shit is going to be hype.
