56% right now

e: batrider the real trap, most-picked but 45% winrate

meanwhile elder titan 77% winrate in 22 picks

Nyx at 14 picks/78.5% winrate and Kunkka at 17/76% are pretty impressie as well. Ursa is at 80%, but with only 10 games.

What's the deal with the predictions during TI matches? I'm not able to find a source on what, if anything, you win for correctly predicting things.

Sorry if this has been answered, I didn't see anything in the OP or last few pages.

There are achievements for 1/10/30 correct predictions.

Every tournament casters criticise Alliance for having a narrow hero-pool. Every tournament we get some sort of tweet like this:

Break it down by player. Loda and Bulldog do not have deep hero pools.

I might agree Bulldog doesn't have a huge pool, but Loda plays basically every hero in the game

After doing the legwork, yeah, I was wrong about Loda. He played 10 different heroes in the group stages, same as s4. I guess it just always felt like Loda had his favorites, like PA, PL, Wraith King, etc., so I think I attributed his hero pool to that.

Bulldog played 7. Akke played 7, including 4 games as Kotl. EGM played 6, inlcuding 8(!) on Ogre Magi.

If nothing else, Envy is good at hitting buildings.

So who plays who in the lower bracket? Bo1 is super scary so if you have to play a Liquid you might just be hosed if they play up to their usual standards.

quote:

Bottom four teams of each group of Group Stage start in the Lower Bracket.
The 5th place in each group of Group Stage picks their opponent from either the 7th or 8th place finish in the opposite group.
The 6th place in each group plays the team that was not picked by the 5th place.
First round is played in a best-of-one then all matches are played in a best-of-three.

So, TNC picks from Liquid and VG.R, Navi plays whoever they dont pick. Fnatic picks from LGD and Escape, Secret gets the leftovers. I'm guessing they'll announce by tomorrow.
