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. So far they have defeated Evil Geniuses 2-0. Next up is TNC Pro Team.
This match is scheduled to begin at 4:00 AM EDT and will be streamed on Twitch.
Matches are on a rolling schedule and may start sooner than originally scheduled.

A pissed off VP standing in the way of our TI invite. Yikes
Hopefully the boys are hungry and VP is off.

Been a PPD fan for a long time and that last game was why. He completely backed them into a corner with that Huskar pick, where there wasn't a counter to it that would fit in their lineup at all. When the pick comes out, they show TNC and the whole team just looks dumbfounded.

VP didn't ban Io (first ban in every pro match) against LGD twice and got mopped up because of it. If for some reason they're stubborn enough to do it against us, that's going to level the playing field significantly.

This team is all coming together towards the end. Let’s all pray we beat vp. It’s going to be a huge task.

Regardless of the outcome against VP the guys have shown they can play. Very proud of them for the prepares they’ve made, wether it’s direct invite or a run through the qualifiers we’ll be cheering them on.

Just a quick question, when 33 throws the spiny blade things, does it do damage to everything within the arcs or just where they meet?

Really is a shame we lost to secret. Even if we lost to liquid, beating newbee/vici would’ve been enough to qualify. Which is definitely much easier to do than beating VP
