Are golden cards that only play twice a day going to be better than reds that play 3? I have a golden Mu but have Dendi, Maybe, and Miracle as my cores already.


I think the points are still changing, I went from 680ish to 383. Thanks Ehome.

Anyone have a formula for how fantasy points are calculated? I googled but I think I just got the old system.

my new total is 320.21, which feels more right, because, again, i did have Chessie in my 5 (my top scorer ended up being a basic-rear end red Fenrir how messed up is that)

and?
For today, I prioritized the stars of the teams playing against Escape. If they get stomped in 15 mins over and over this may not pay off too well

Also, I don't think the same strat will necessarily pay off with EHOME, so going to re-examine tomorrow's picks

(I was out of town and missed doing wild card picks before that, so I have 0 points :shobon:)

Group A has 3 series today, while Group B has only 2. Choose cards from teams in Group A for today.

Normally it's a combination of good teams and good casters but there doesn't seem to be a caster schedule out :(

No, you will have to check each stream and find out.

I usually pick one to watch and then use multitwitch on second monitor for the rest.

I had a beer with Stephen Miller once and now I like him.
435.12 but I didn't check the schedule for today so my cards are probably not super optimal.

sheever was mentioning that she & shane were going to be casting one of the Team Secret games today so I am excited for that!!!

I had a bunch of silver ehome cards so I came out of yesterday with like 800pts, but I don't think I'll do as well today. Hopefully Mutumbaman can carry the day.

Ah, OK, I last checked at like 9am CDT because I had to hurry and get in my picks for today's group stage. One nice thing about Valve doing everything at the last minute is they let you also do things at the very last minute!

When Charlie says that the EG squad really has a fire under their rear end, is it just because they all want to win TI, or because any of them could be kicked if their performance is seen as not optimal regardless of whether they win or lose?

if the latter were the case, it would dampen their motivation, not increase it

The only factor that affects EG roster changes is their relationship with PPD at this point
