Just woke up in time to catch the ending of the first map of Team Falcons against Tundra.
From the looks of it with a 24-17 score the Falcons seem to be taking the win off this map.
Cloud 9 taking the victory over Aurora and Team Liquid beat Xtreme gaming in the earlier matches of the day.
Next is Nouns up against Gaimin Gladiators in the last of the upper bracket matches of day three to the playoffs in The Internationals tournament.

Just watching Team Spirit vs Nouns and they are getting smashed right now.
Spirit were still 1.35x after losing map 1 against them but now they are 1.75x down 6-11.
They must of been heavy favorites to win this match in the TI with such odds going into map 2.
The bookies had them at 1.07 before the match started, overconfidence probably got to them after going flawless in the groups since their coach even said they gave a lot of room for Nouns.Spirit were still 1.35x after losing map 1 against them but now they are 1.75x down 6-11.

The upper bracket starts in a few hours and I didn't expect we're heading into the playoffs when there's usually a day or two break in between after the groups.
I already have a ticket on the first playoffs match to go over 2.5 maps, the H2H favors Xtreme Gaming, but i'm counting on Team Liquid to put up a fight.

we have a lot of heroes that are garbage in this meta rotaion. ( omni who everyone counts on him but almost no team can make it work ).
You haven't watched the freaking match for second map of Team Falcons and BetBoom Team. Team Falcons has got the omniknight played by sneyking. They're about to lose the match but damn, for me sneyking was the MVP on that game with that omniknight. From early game, to midgame and late game. He's just too good playing that hero and I advice you to watch that. I am really impressed by that game and his performance there.The only great thing I can say so far about this TI is the PGL production who is working flawlessly without any real problems and that is a huge GG for Dota 2 pro scene.
Hehehe. At least with this, you can appreciate this year's TI. I think that Valve has already given the rights to PGL for all of their upcoming sponsored tournaments.EDIT : Liquid manage to take 1st map because of Medusa pos 4 :O
I've won this bet and they have won the series.

What did I just watch with the 2nd map of 1Win and Cloud9? watson played as invoker position one!
That's crazy and I think it's the first time that I've seen that happen on a TI match. But it was a good one, they've got monkey king as their mid.
It really worked against their opponent and it was a disaster to be honest. I guess that we'd see more invos in the pub now.

I really cannot enjoy this TI and that's because of the format. Everyone still has a chance to win and some teams prefer to not show strategies and stuff and they end up losing a lot in groups and then out of nowhere they start beating super teams. ( ex BB who was awful in group stages is currently beating Liquid without any chance for Liquid to actually play Dota ).
Then we have betting where this is the most random Dota TI ever where trows are happening every freaking game ...we have a lot of heroes that are garbage in this meta rotaion. ( omni who everyone counts on him but almost no team can make it work ).

Has anyone any bets in the group stage of TI for day 2 yet?
I've watched some of the games yesterday, there were a bunch of them but got a 1-2 score for my bets.Another match currently going live right now are Heroic and Gaimin Gladiators.
Oh man, I hate this match. I bet for 2-0 GG on this game but it went 1-1. While I have lost that bet because it went the other way and Heroic won. I'm happy to see them that they're able to win 1 match against GG. That was heck of the game especially the 2nd map. Heroic was really winning the game and I thought that GG will turn the game upside down and will have a come back but they didn't.I personally don't have any bets on TI yet because the games are pure lottery and you know why is it this way ? Because Valve decided to make a group stage where anyone can qualify further so no matter what place you get in the groups , you are still playing further in tournament. That's why , it's better to stay away from groups and just learn the meta and the style of teams as that might the only factor who could help us when we bet later on.
I understand you take but the adrenaline and excitement wants me to bet more as this it TI and it only happens once a year. Sum it up with the 2 games per series and that's really hard matches to bet on.I must also say this is one of the worst TI ever created and hope Valve will take notice of this and never repeat this horrible mistake.
I can't conclude that yet but I'd say that it's not as hyped as the past ones. First, the prize pool isn't that much and secondly, the compendium didn't do what it is intended for. Still, this is still going to be a long tournament so it's possible that it could change your mind. September 05, 2024, 05:02:54 AM

Turning to some CounterStrike from yesterday's ESL Pro League.
Did anyone happen to see the huge upset of Sangal vs Faze? They were 6.00x to win the match.
If not here are the highlights of this monumental collapse by the top tier CS2 team:

I've been first blood. GG won 2-0 against 1W, I thought that 1win will be able to tie the series but GG was outstanding. This is the GG form that I am expecting but that's fine on my end if I lose this bet for choosing draw.
Don't the Gaimin Gladiators usually step up their performance during these International tournaments?I remember seeing their name last year in almost every matchup they were and resulting in victorious.
So from the looks of it they have started off hot coming into this one too.
I love how Dark Zero is playing at TI and they beat Falcons in 1st map with style and precise timings that made their strategy work perfectly! Now , they are trying the same thing on map 2 by baiting Bristle as offlaner and ended up as hard support. I had some feeling that Dark Zero will be the Dark Horse of this TI and by the way they are playing I won't be surprised to see them reaching top 6. 
I like that map 1 and they've beaten Team Falcons. But on the map 2, I know that they have an odd line up but it's composed of a bristleback support to add minus armor which is the purpose of their line up. Team Falcons did them dirty on map 2. September 04, 2024, 07:11:59 AM

The group stage starts later, maybe you guys have a parlay bet that you can share here so I can follow. So many new and different teams, I can't decide which team to bet on. Also it is group stage only two maps there's possibility of draw. Please drop you picks for day1.
I would avoid parlaying on the early stage, it's very hard to get some accurate bets on this early and it's with 2 games only per match.I have a feeling that China will win The International this time. Well, it's either IG or Xtreme Gaming.
I want Ame to win his TI title before he retires. It's possible that they may get but all of the teams here are dark horses of their own. Most of these teams can massacre one and the other. Most of the candidates for getting this TI are possible from EU.

But these advertisers should bring in more money then allow for a larger prize pool.
Correct all you dota2 experts?
Correct all you dota2 experts?
Well not really, it doesnt mentioned on liquipedia's page that there will be extra prizepool for the teams so probably Valve is going to rake every extra advertising fee that they will get from this. Valve is just a greedy mf
This is what I'd like to believe though but I kinda doubt it so probably there will be some closed deal between Valve and all those teams that participate to split in those fee or probably based it on the popularity of the participating teams or something along that line

That's right and with the latest patch, there's a new hero now Ringmaster[1] but I don't think that this will be included before the TI happens but still, we've got now the 2024 compendium. It's now showtime and the most awaited time on how much fund will be gathered through this update.

Can this hero really make a pivotal difference? [1] Introducing The Ringmaster and the 2024 Compendium

Maybe if a player on a team has mastered it's use in such little time it has been available to pick from in the game.
That's right about someone mastering it especially on the pro scene and tournaments. But as of now, I don't think that he's available to be picked in tournament matches. He can be played and picked for normal games and rank matches but not for these tournament matches yet, that's what I at least know for now. September 03, 2024, 02:48:26 PM

Thanks for the table of the next big tournament on the DOTA2 scene starting in just a few more days so to wait beginning September 4th: Correct all you dota2 experts?
I hope we have another great tournament. The meta is great and interesting, I can't stop playing Dota, and it's very interesting how often teams will use the new hero - Ring Master. He looks like a great support and those teams that love performance will definitely show how true professionals play this hero.

Oh, the anticipation of the International...
I remember from the photo of the brand new character brought into the game below:
This tournament is like a break for most of the teams that are going to participate in the The International 2024. We've got less than a month before that grand tournament comes and so a new patch has came and most teams have also a way to practicing their hero.
I agree, we should tread lightly for now and save most of it for TI, where most teams would bring out their full potential.[1] Introducing The Ringmaster and the 2024 Compendium

You are right, Draft is different from Pub, but wouldn't it be stupid for Valve to release such a hero and leave the International without him?
Every time I see a new compendium, I facepalm and remember the old first great compendiums. And all those events like Chinese New Year, when great sets on heroes were easy to get for free. Now Valve are like a greedy old man, giving only bad items for free.
Dude, that was the greatest of the past and it's sad that Valve has turned his way from being a community friendly provider than to looking at us as their money making machines. Anyway, I don't really care about the items but about the battlepass and compendium, they should give what the community wants. This TI even with the Saudi Prince, not probably impressed with what Valve released lately. Jump to:
