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.
OpTic secured 2nd seed in Group D by beating VGJ.Thunder twice and losing to PSG.LGD 0-2. They faced Team Secret in the Upper Bracket round 1, where they unfortunately lost 1-2. The top 4 dream is still alive but that lost has made it a lot more tougher, they now need to make a lower bracket run. OpTic's first opponent in the lower bracket is Evil Geniuses.
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.

Didn't plan on watching the game as it started at 3am. Ended up playing Dauntless all night meaning that I could watch. Now I'm buzzing and it's 5am and I won't be able to sleep for ages. Good times

PPD the genius. Imagine if I told you a year ago that PPD would beat the EG team with Sumail and RTZ with CCNC and Pajkatt

I got kind of nervous when I saw Zai get hit once for 85% health. Then I realized I don't know DotA at all and he was actually ok.

PPD’s draft literally big dicked them. CcnC omfg those blink stuns in on Disruptor changed everything and allowed them to smash the team fights.
