They'll never stop twitch chat from spamming, they'll do something else, like spam this bee to make hong kong free lol.

Watching in client is much better anyway.

Out of curiosity how many fantasty points did people get for todays action? I basially have a full set of cards but I'm thinking of dusting some of the lower teams to try and get a better lineup on some of the better teams (I only have a full silver lineup for Secret for example).

I sold all my silvers and spent 30 gold to try and get two specific gold cards.
The first one I got a gold right away.
Then I only got silvers and commons after like 500 dust

So yeah, the system is not a good one for getting better cards or going full gold.

I actually got decently lucky in terms of getting golds. However that was tempered by the fact that I got 6 gold CnCCs.
I have managed to get gold Rtz, Sumail and Miracle but I'm not feeling too hot about those EG cards going forward in the tournament.

Top 100 is 554+ after day one. Those that did well will be in the 400-500 range.

A gold card is not necessarily better than a silver, it's more about the stats. For cores and mid Kills > Teamfight > Deaths, for support focus on Obs Wards Planted.

The averages page on the fantasy tracker will give you good indication on what to look for, make sure you pick players that have the most amount of matches on said day.

Haven't watched much Dotes in the last year, but I always like to tune in for TI. It's weird not having games to watch during the day though.

Are there any particularly dominant teams that are favored to go deep?

Yeah I just jumped ingame and noticed the top 100 leaderboard had updated. Got 479 personally so I'm pretty good atm.

I'll have a good look through that link though, thanks.

Based on how they've done before the tournament and rumours coming out of TI scrims Secret, VG and LGD are the top three teams.
Its kind of a drop off after that but I'd keep an eye on teams like TNC, VP, Liquid and EG. Although Liquid and EG didn't look too hot after todays games.

So anyone have some recommendations of games to watch or a link to find some recommendations?
Edit: the link of vods earlier has a strawpoll so hopefully that is useful.

Game 1 of Secret vs Alliance was fantastic, also TNC had a great comeback too I believe their first game of the day.

Not as good, but the endings of both newbee secret games are funny

Make or break day for EG facing OG, RNG, VG
At 1-3 with one point they need to get to at least the 9-10 point range to hope to qualify for top 4/Upper Bracket based on the last two years results. They need to have at least 5 points/wins by the end of today or else be required to sweep their final two days.

Don't really like OG's or EG's draft to be honest, probably give the edge to EG unless OG have great lanes.

Hope it won't be a long day, still wrecked from yesterday. :p
