Looks like someone found code for a new hero in the latest patch. Sylph, probably the Wind Spirit.

To be fair, for a tournament where Valve is taking over $69m in revenue from Compendium sales, you'd think that they could have the players and talent fly in earlier than 3 days before the event starts...

I mean their old branding was all from a partnership with a failed streaming platform so

Here is the August 2017 TI tier list of all the commentator people I can think of that are there or should be there

S Tier: Draskyl, GrandGrant, Sheever, PPD
A Tier: Synderen, Winter, Pyrion Flax, KotlGuy, ODPixel
B Tier: Fogged, LD, Godz, Merlini, Lumi
C Tier: SIRACTIONSLACKS, Capitalist
D Tier: Tobi

I just checked with a scientist and this list is objectively correct

As a pure caster with a good analyst I think tobi is definitely B tier. Just don't give him pauses or time to fill.

OD is the best play by play tho

slacks is z tier

Cutty approves.
GrandGrant is objectively useless for casting anything close to an actually good game, so he has no place at TI.

Meanwhile, GrandGrant is amazing at making third tier tourneys and pubs tolerable purely because he never gets stale and lets the other casters treat him like the annoying child he is.

Grant is C tier.

Draskyl sucks, and Grandgrant was such an utter oval office for so long in HoN/early dota2 that I still can't like him. Most of the people on thay list have their place though.

Do they show the groupstage games outside or only the main event? I might be in Seattle over the weekend and don't have tickets.

Pretty sure group stages are stream/client only. IIRC Valve rents out a hotel near their Bellevue headquarters for all the group stage coverage and media days. They don't move to Key Arena/Seattle until group stages are done.

e: don't know if it still exists, but for TI4 they sold VIP tickets that would give you access to the group stage venue.
