There's no wildcard poo poo for majors right? Only one slot goes anywhere?

Yeah the EU and NA quals got their 2 slots split when CIS and SA got their own qualifier.

Faceless/TNC game 1 was one of those hour-plus insane games with E-Blades everywhere, Rubick ghost Scepter, and all the Imba Dota nonsense that happens when everyone is at 25 like Warlock dropping BKBed golems.

Its not FV imba dota unless hes instastunning everyone before they can get in disarm range via hardcore flailing for 1 damage

So do people like BSJ? My 800 mmr mate loves the guy, subs to him on twitch and didn't really care about pro dota till he joined team freedom.

hating BSJ has been an NA dota meme for so long that people are getting tired of it i think. he never hits back either so it's just been people being incredibly rude to a guy who's sort of decent at a video game, so at some point you're starting to root for the victim if you're a functioning human being on any level

Hilarious bad or hilarious good. I've only caught an hour or two of his streams and he's got a good attitude and a likeable personality, I'm just a bit bemused that my mate is so fond of him.

I mean is it realistic for freedom to qualify for the major? I notice they have ixmike on the roster and i can't tell if people love or hate that guy but he seems quite intrinsic to NA dota.

and?
oh i just mean that he is a go big or go home kind of guy, and he often goes home in funny ways

I didn't find his stream tolerable but ymmv

e: Freedom isn't going to qualify, no way they beat NP twice and then COL twice

Ramagamma posted:

No. Even if we got two slots (which we should, it's absurd that only one of NP or Complexity are going when there is a vastly inferior SA team going) they wouldn't make it. Which isn't to poo poo on Freedom, but NP and Col are just better.

Calling the SA teams vastly inferior is a bit hyperbolic, SA teams has consistently placed 3-4 in the valve NA qualifiers (and even second when Unknown qualified to Frankfurt) with a significant ping disadvantage.

Sure, CoL and NP are better but SA is decent enough that there isn't really a problem with Valve encouraging growth in that region by giving them a slot.
