No official bracket yet, but vykromond threw up a quick table on what the possible options are:

Also after all these games I think probably the biggest disappointment out of the whole tournament so far has to be Liquid. They were absolutely the favorites going into group B no question and they bustered out as hard as Secret did.

That's the first time I've seen anything saying that the lower 5th place teams chose their opponents already, Liquipedia still has it blank and it would pretty stupid for Secret to pick LGD over Synderen.

Well done, chart man.

Like every TI is me being factually wrong about anything involving digits or tournament math at all. It happens so much that even I've noticed (I'm sure you all have too) and found it hilarious.

I wonder if Synderen will be allowed on the panel or to cast after he loses. Is that a conflict of interest or something. Maybe he just can't get paid

they just released the treasure trove and lockless chests so I wonder how large the prize pool will get now. you get two free levels on your first chest but both chests are pretty much meh.

also what are everyone's fantasy points? It seems the global one isn't updated yet and I just want to see whether I had the luck of the ogre magi or not

Day 1: 440.8
Day 2: 493.14
Day 3: 445.77
Day 4: 345.72
Total: 1725.44

There are definitely going to be people who haven't updated every day or joined in late so hitting top 10% shouldn't be too bad if you play smart (ie only upper bracket people on monday)

Also the luckvase had immortals for 4 of my most played heroes so I snagged all of them. Feels good

My beautiful dark twisted fantasy is Escape manage to beat Fnatic, squeak by Alliance after Alliance drops to Ehome, and then somehow manage to eliminate EG during EG's customary jaunt through the loser's bracket.

Can you imagine a world this beautiful? I can.

Those treasures do not contribute to the prize pool.

To stay relevant, I pose a simple question. Can this almost 20 million dollar tournament actually get SunsFanned?

Really tempted to buy a couple treasures, but there's only like 3 items I'm actually interested in. The Trove/Luckvase items are usually cheaper when they're marketable right? I'm pretty sure they do but sometimes certain treasures get more expensive when they're discontinued (like the DAC items).

day 2: 513.83
day 3: 491.19
day 4: 310.00

the real hosed up part is that my lowest scorer on day 4 was a golden shadow card

Offlane Fly was pretty bad.

That exchange would have worked out well if it hadn't turned out that EG had an even younger and more ludicrous rtz clone in their back pocket.
