OP is way too in depth and doesn't have enough stupid poo poo.

Everyone should be pulling for Escape to make it onto the main stage, but I hope they get eliminated early enough that Synd can cast LB Finals.

New rules at KeyArena are that you can bring in outside food and drink if it's not in a can. Can't wait to get drunk on DIY mixed drinks and chant USA all week.

There's also a new barcade not too far from QA now in case folks need postgame drinks.

e: If Secret Shop is open my UI is broken :(

I'd be happy if Valve could divert like 5 grand towards figuring out how to get anything running smoothly and on time. I'm still waiting for the secret shop preorder system to activate even though it was supposed to have gone online 37 hours ago.

Secret Shop is finally open for business. I think I have one emoticharm pin set from last year and will be getting four more next weekend, but I have no interest in keeping them.

The pins look a lot less inspired than last year, that's for sure. Are you just buying them to resell?

I'm not buying them and have no interest in keeping them. Everyone got one set last year just for attending and I got a few this year when I bought my poo poo.

If a goon wants them from me in exchange for Steam wallet funds, I'd be open to doing so at a discount.

pretty sure you're overrating complexity there

coL went further than Secret last year and that was before EE was able to throw games for Puppey.

4 position Axe is the pocket strat that Secret is relying on and teams will have it figured out. coL have no strats aside from Wisp Tiny so there is no good counter

Sing was professional in the sense that he was leeching zai dry while they played together. Otherwise he makes more through streaming than some TI players will this year by winning games.
