Nice. New thread in time for top TI shitposting. Not enough dumb memes in the OP but hopefully that will get rectified. Also lacking top shitposting list of shame from previous thread and caster tiers but overall thank you Majuju for doing what none of us wanted to do..

It's good that we officially can't stop giving valve enough money for this loving game

Usually when TI rolls around, I at least play a couple of games and enjoy the compendium. I straight up bought a compendium and barely opened it and have done 0 predictions so far. So yes you are right.

By the time August 23rd or whenever the funk the event end comes around I will have finished giving valve nearly $400

Again

At least you got a sweet aegis out of it right?

Also all the visa issues that were tweeted about by the SEA guys still hasn't been resolved right?

Are eggs sorted by how recently you got them or is the order just all random? I'm trying to hatch all the low-level eggs I got 2 weeks ago but I can't figure out which ones are which.

Also this year for TI I promise I have finally learned my lesson. I won't watch every loving hour of group stages so that I'm super burned out by main stages.

from noxville on reddit:

"You should have seen the game we played at TI5 last year. Hot_bid was modding. There was no mafia, he was just killing people as he saw fit. Nahaz was one of the final people. When he found out at the end, he chased Hot_bid around the room for 10 minutes. I was sure if he caught him, Hot_bid would rip."

What series do you guys think you'll watch, I think for the first set I'm going TNC - Alliance just for the loving clown fiesta that will inevitably devlolve into.

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

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?

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