DotA 2, The International 3 Thread

Now that it's just a couple weeks away I decided to open a thread where we can post news, updates, our predictions, what team we're cheering for and so on.
You can check TI3's main website here, you can see all the teams that are going to participate, which teams qualified from the west and the east, and which are the wildcard contenders.
Latest update is that the schedules are finally announced! And you can check it out here: Wish You Were Here
Or, to keep everything in the same place:

[spoiler=Schedule announced! I'll update with est and cest times when possible!]
*Those are PST times[/spoiler]

My prediction is that is gonna be an awesome week! I'm a bit sad that I'll miss a couple matches here and there because of school but that gives me the chance to watch replays in client which should be a lot better. I'm sure all teams will give their best and can't cheer for just one, other than Quantic Gaming. I'd love to see them win the Wild Card.

What do you think about the price pool? Will it get even bigger now that it's just 2 weeks away?
