also i havent paid attention to pro dota for a while whats gonna be the best fantasy team

also also has there been a patch since manila major? need to know for my predictions

Yes, 6.88.

As far as patches go it's pretty minor; the whole thing is a bunch of number changes.

IG definitely was not one of the favourites and Newbee was slated to possibly do well but not win.

DK was absolutely a favourite to win TI4, and Newbee was DK's strongest rival in the China scene.

So yes, Newbee was definitely a favourite.

I'm still sad TI4 will forever be remembered for 'DEATHBALL' because that's what VG used to kick everyone out and not all the other crazy stuff like jungle Juggernaut.

Unsurprisingly, Valve hosed up and left the best SFM video out of the top ten

It probably says something about Dota that so many of the top ten winners are about how teammates are dumb/assholes.

Reason posted:

am I confused or are they only play two games and not best of three? Newbee v Liquid either the casters are using confusing language but it ended on a tie didn't it? And they said it was over.

They say they wish it was a best of 3. All group stage games are Bo2.

The real problem with regional invites shown here: Ehome is easily a top8 team but they had to fight through Wildcards to get to the main stage.
