no the boar stun might be the fail of the week

anyhow, qualifiers are getting off to a nice start! some very good matches already.

Surely [MENTION=8396]Raul[/MENTION]; is happy with all these timbersaw picks?
So far it's been a good tournament.
Also we hit 600k+ viewers today.

man, it's pretty awesome. I can tell you that. It's a bit weird that they're usually going mid and taking one/no early levels of timberchain but seeing h4nni on Timbersaw against Zenith in game one was... holy pomegranate.
Actually, that entire game was just hilarious. 3 heroes that were amazing with the wisp.

Yeah, best game so far. I'm glad I actually watched it, too many going on at the same time and its hard to keep up with everything xD.

brb, time to watch Na'Vi vs Mousesports game 2 on YouTube. This. Is. Beautiful.

Wow they actually hit $2.8mil milestone for the prize pool

Wow they actually hit $2.8mil milestone for the prize pool

Inb4 Gaben provides for the last 400k so we get Techies. Pubs beware!

It's actually insane how fast it grows, considering it's only $2.50 per compendium bought. In less than two weeks it got 200k bigger, that's $800,000 spent in compendiums. In less than two fucking weeks.
Since I've been updating the picture of the price pool every not-so-often I have dates for each SS I've uploaded:

July 20, 2013: $2,583,792 USD
July 22, 2013: $2,604,545 USD
August 3, 2013: $2,807,622 USD

I wish I had updated more often but damn school is more important
But yeah, I don't think it'll get to $3 million unless something insane happens.

pineapplein Na'Vi, playing with my heart by dropping their first series.
Then on the other hand they always suck in group-stages.

Also, i got 101 points from my compendium fantasy team.

It's still surprises me how well Alliance does.
I missed the first 2 hours because I went to bed really late last night

why didn't I get xboct for my fantasy team

D:

Because he's the most underrated carry in dota.
Remember BTS ranked him 4/10.

Glad that both XBOCT and Dendi are on my team. Just sucks that my secondary carries on that team are sylar/black ;_;

wait, pomegranate, I do have xboct! I just had him benched in favor of Black and Mushi and forgot to switch black and xboct.

So, only 17 heroes that haven't been picked or banned so far.

TI3 should get really interesting in the main event, i hope teams are going to be busting out crazy strats left and right. No way a captain like Puppey doesn't have some crazy-ass pomegranate up his sleeve.
Also with the brackets it seems Na'Vi will face off against Alliance if everything goes as i expect.
Na'vi is looking really strong already after a shaky first day.

Ok, the schedule displayed in their website scared me for me a second. Also, why do I keep forgetting what day of the week it is? -_-
I'm super happy because tomorrow is a holiday and I'll have all the day to watch ti Also, Thursday and Friday I only have like one class in the evening and the rest of the day is free.
Unless something unexpected happens I shouldn't miss any brackets game

Finished my bracket:



Predicting Alliance to win it.

Dear lord, the twitch lag.

Twitch is being laggy as pineapple.
Got a question:
Are the rewards from linking Twitch acc to Steam Acc is reserved only to those who bought the compendium?

All Star Teams match is the best thing ever, everyone's attitude is just awesome.
