It's time for EG to show up guys , don't you think ? It's been way too long since this team won something or even had a decent run in a major and Arlington might be just that place. They have their first game today against Aster and I don't know and I cannot understand how Team Aster are being favorites in this one as I saw their last game in DPC China and they could lose anytime but they could also win anytime and I don't like double edge teams.
EG / TUNDRA and Fnatic taking 1 map sound so good as a bet.

Fnatic finally get the players that will complete there roster for the Arlington Major event. Timado, Bryle and Dubu will substitute to all the Fnatic missing players. There reportedly playing together in the pub few weeks ago and now Fnatic already release there official line-up on there facebook page post. Without Saberlight, This team is very solid in my opinion.

Against the background of problems for many players with visas, which is natural in the current situation, it may be worth paying attention to the teams from China who for the first time had the opportunity to perform at the PGL Arlington Major 2022.
I always watch this competition back in the days when I was in college and the competition is so intense that we spectators are watching it in groups and shouted when our favorite players doing their imba moves to avoid the attack or to turn the game. I miss those days and my favorite player was Dendi of Natus Vincere.
Those imba terms is so nostalgic and probably you are describing the Dota2 games way back 2011 to 2015 when Dendi is most active and on prime. He is the best player in his time especially when he is using his signature hero pudge. Dota2 still didn’t change, it’s same hype and intense on most tournaments but the casting nowadays is different compared before because the current is already professional while before was freestyle which is more entertaining than today.
Why not watch again the current Dota2 and experience the new level of intense players. Dota2 already have 9 item slot which the 3 is just a back up so there’s a lot of items a hero can carry and change depending on the situation. This is what makes Dota2 now more intense than before.
For the SEA teams, Fnatic should be one of the SEA best hope but with this visa issue I am rooting for Talon to bring something good from SEA.
that would be hard to do when you are playing with 3 stand-ins. But it is good that they still choose to play even with most of their teammates having visa issues. Unlike Extreme gaming which already withdrawn from the tournament and choose to focus on TI 11 qualifications.
This is for sure because LGD is a very consistent Chinese team. I have no doubt that OG and Team Liquid will stand out on the upcoming majors but I’m interested to see other dark horse team performance like Outsiders and Team Secret. They are the team that I want to place bet especially when their opponents are strong team like LGD and Team Spirit because they have the skills to give an upset match to whoever opponents that they will fight.
Betting +1.5 on teams like Outsiders will surely give huge profit on this upcoming major.

Team Secret has been very solid in Riyadh Masters, so I am expecting them to play at the same level in Arlington Major. I am not sure if they are playing with IceIceIce now in the major, even so, they are a force to reckon with.
I think the Organizer or even Valve himself should help or even guarantee the Visa grant to every team, or they shouldn't have any event in the USA.
They should help but still, it is not in their hands if the US does not want to grant visas to certain players.
For the predicition, looking at how solid LGD performance on the latest Riyadh Master, I think they will still dominate this one, other team might be getting better like Liquid and OG, more than that I hope some other team like RNG and Outsiders could give something surprising in this tournament. For the SEA teams, Fnatic should be one of the SEA best hope but with this visa issue I am rooting for Talon to bring something good from SEA.

This is not the first time several dota player (and probably other games athlete) can't get Visa to the U.S, and this visa issues seems happens a lot to team from SEA region. This is definitely has handicapped the Team. I think the Organizer or even Valve himself should help or even guarantee the Visa grant to every team, or they shouldn't have any event in the USA.

Last 2 days to go for the start of Arlington Major guys. It’s confirmed that Ana will stand-in again on RNG since there pos1 Ghost failed to acquire Visa. Ceb and Ana will be playing once again on this major and probably will fight to each other. Many teams will play with incomplete line-up due to the Visa issue on US.
I will update the table for the stand-in status once the roster is finalized on all teams.

I think Ana will be good this time because he still willing to play despite the very bad result on his stand in for team liquid. He usually quit if he didn’t want to play anymore like what he did on OG last time. He might be practicing hard right now just to master the current meta and to match the current strong pos1 player from different team. RNG will be the perfect team for him because they have already experienced fighting to each other since RNG roster is composed by old LGD member. Ana probably know how to work with this team.

I wonder if this is Ceb's response to TorontoTokyo when interviewed in Riyadh. Toronto said he wanted OG to win in the semis because he believe OG is weaker and LGD is harder to beat.
Ceb is back to show Toronto that OG is strong.
Far fetched but you know how attached is Ceb to OG. He wanted to defend them as much as possible.
I beg to differ. Tundra's style of play does not match the aggression of PSG.LGD in mid game. As for Liquid, they do have a funky way of handling mid game to enable their cores before they make moves, while PSG.LGD is just constantly throwing them anything that they have to make them respond to those. The team who doesn't respond to the aggression of PSG.LGD wins the game, that's what I noticed.
Tundra is different on Riyadh because they don't have 33 on there roster which typically the play maker and making the setup for Tundra. The substitue player Daxak is not yet synchronized to Tundra that’s why they can’t have the same aggression when 33 is the iniator. I believe on full potential of Tundra as whole team because they can give space for Skitter if they have a good laning phase.
LGD is weak on best of 5 games because they have same game pattern and once you counter them, They don't have anything to do against it.
You could say that, but even with 33, Tundra is still, most of the times, hesitant to engage PSG.LGD's aggression even though they can get away of those engagements. They normally would be explosive when faced with chill opponents since they capitalize on the stagnant map to take the resources for themselves. But when faced with an even more aggressive team, they just play it slow and change their tempo.
Also, you're spot on with LGD's observation. They normally have a 2-3 strat planned for BO5 games that they usually unleash on rounds leading to the final bracket. OG and Kuroky's Team Liquid back then noticed this and capitalized mostly on using extremely out of meta heroes against LGD's line up.
Do you think Ceb will play again for OG on this majors?
Your question is already answered. Ceb is once again will go to Arlington Majors with the boys after Misha failed to secure his visa. I dunno how you expect this to happened but I’m surprised OG will be reckless to secured Msha visa for this this kind of tournament, Not once but twice.
I know Ceb will be better to replace Misha but I’m concern if this line-up will work again while chinese team is already in the table.
https://afkgaming.com/dota2/news/ceb-returns-to-og-for-the-pgl-arlington-major-2022
Lol. I’m just trolling when I post such question in the thread above. I never thought that Misha will encounter same issue to a same major tournament. Is it just a coincidence or they are doing it on purpose just to give Ceb play time.
Ceb mindset is what makes OG strong in tournament like this, We witness already how good Ceb when they are under pressure or in the brink of losing. I think he is very good on commanding this young talents.
I remember that in Stockholm Majors, OG has claimed victory this 2022 but only 3rd on the Riyadh Masters. So I'm betting that OG would still be in the top 3 of this tournament.
I think Ceb will still play in this tournament. Is there any news about it, though?
Yes he will play, check above post link for the news.I think Ceb will still play in this tournament. Is there any news about it, though?

Theres alot of teams cannot make a good fight with this upcoming major because of due to visa issue with the boom e-sports already two of them can go and fix their visa and the other team most of them cannot make it, with this Match up I guess the top 4 teams again in the final match is between the Team Spirit, OG, Liquid and LGD we know how these teams have a good initiation and makes a good rotation, Im a fan with the EG but still if there's bulba and R2R still they cannot make it back as one of the Major Champions.
Even with complete Boom will have a hard time on competing top teams on different region. Team Spirit is not the top team on there region so I don’t think forgetting about Navi and Outsider is a good idea to predict finals outcome. Quincy Crew is another team to look out on this major because they improved a lot since there last year performance.

I'm rooting for Outsiders to at least secure a better position for this particular tournament. Gpk showed us that he still got it, although there are times that his mid lane's lack of rotations around the map can hinder him from being enabled. He's not a typical lane dominator, nor is he an aggressive carry that can work hand in hand with his support to farm for kills, but his ability to find farm even though the map is already closed in against his team is what's really impressive for me. Well, DM is great in creating space, there's that, but still.
Team Spirit just finished 3rd place on the list DPC Tounament in EEU while most of the teams in WEU is not completed on Riyadh Master tournament. Most of the powerhouse team in every region didn't enter on Riyadh Master while LGD and Team Spirit has a complete line-up that's why they manage to be on the finals/ I believe a different story will happened on Majors because there's a lot at stake in there because of the DPC points which is crucial for TI.
Team Secret isn't also complete on their lineup. They have Resolution as a stand-in but they still did well, even going so far as being undefeated for a time being before they slipped away from that footing.

I am expecting those who needs DPC points to step up. Maybe team Spirit can win this tournament this time. They lost to LGD in Riyadh, maybe they want to make a comeback here.

Complete Tundra and Liquid are the best team in the league that can rival LGD. LGD got beaten badly by Team Secret on Riyadh so they are not unbeatable if they fight the right team that has a consistent play. Team Spirit is out of gas after they manage to beat Team Secret on a close fight. The finals on Riyadh should be best of 5 so that team can have a chance to recover on an early deficits. LGD and other teams that secured TI might not give 100% here since the DPC points is the highlights of the rewards for this Major. Westill have 1 week of waiting.
