Intrinsic, there are matches for the Western Qualifier that will be held daily for the next couple of days. It's basically 4 teams in 2 separate brackets for a total of 8 teams (GroupA/B) and yesterday Group A got boiled down to DD coming ahead with the wins out of aL, DD, RoX.KiS and Empire. Today we are going to be seeing EG, Mouz, QPAD and ICCUP. I'm actually pretty sure these matches begin very soon. You can probably stream it on Twitch.tv's DoTA2 channels (GDStudio channel is covering WQualifiers this year and a few others).

Gonna throw it out there bros, I'm pretty sure Mouz and EG are gonna swipe the first matches pretty hard and just ace the other teams. Out of EG and Mouz though, now that's an interesting line up and I hope it comes down to it.

I'm thoroughly uneducated on the Eastern Qualifiers rosters. Holy shit. I need to learn the Eastern teams desperately. Hope I'm not the only one. It's a shame because I like watching at these skill levels regardless of country, although the culture can be a bit hard to process at times.

I think you just answered your own question. I'm not sure on the exact schedule either.

You can see the brackets here to help clarify who plays who.http://qualifiers.thegdstudio.com/

There is the International Qualifier matches starting shortly and should last several hours, though there will be some breaks.

I prefer Tobi's casting, but the GD Studio is more entertaining imo.

Thanks bros. Yeah I watched the DD matches yesterday, but for some reason (stupidity, laziness) couldn't find that schedule for today's matches and not being a big fan forgot about the joinDOTA website that I went through last time for all this info.

early dk as good as gyro? lol
Yeah when I read that I was like wut.

Early DK is terrible and bad. With early Gyro you can just lolmissle and no one dares get close to you because of his bombard attack or whatever its called.

Only reason I mentioned an aegis is because usually the guy thats either most productive or hardest to kill grabs it, which is usually DK (at that point in the game if played right)

Wish we had Tobis play by play. I like these guys in betweens better, but I'm listening to this more than watching it. Tobi is a great caster

Tobi was the first caster I listened to so I'm biased. Did enjoy the studio stuff; as a dirty uncultured southern American an average looking gamer chick with accent = win in my book.

I like Tobi's casting because I'm blind in one eye and I can't see what's going on on the screen very well. I'm also kind of slow when it comes to understanding what's happening during teamfights, so him telling me when a hero uses a spell is very helpful; especially when he doesn't bother to pronounce those silly Dota spell names and just says what us average joes are able to comprehend (shuki instead of shukuchi or 'kotl blast' instead of 'illuminate'). Love me some Tobi.

Agree with that. I could play this game in my sleep, but Tobi casting isentertaining, which is the point. I don't need him to tell me with 100% accuracy what went down, I see that. I like his energy and enthusiasm. Not to mention, much of the time he has a pro player on to co-cast which adds some nice flavor.

Jesus fucking christ I just witnessed the most hilarious game ever. I knew Shadow Fiend was a pimp, I actually won all 3 games I played with him (although I wasnt an all-star by any means) but for fucks sake I didnt know he was THAT fucking stupid. I just was in a game with a teamate who played him and the guy went like 45-3 with 3 ultra kills and had NINE HUNDRED AND THIRTY FOUR DAMAGE at the end of the game. He had 2 divine rapiers for fucks sake. He was ONE shotting sniper with his auto attack, and 2-3 shotting tusk. It was a fucking JOKE.

930+ damage has to be some kind of record. Thats probably not even factoring in his souls at max. I know pub games are lol, but that was easily the ost dominant performance I have seen in 300 + games played.

edit: He solod Rosh and downed him in like 25 seconds no bullshit. Im not sure you could acheive anything similar with any other carry. Maybe anti mage fully fed w bfury and a rapier?

Thats whats fun about this game though. You would NEVER see that type of shit in competitive/pro play, but in lower tier games, anything is on the table. Playing 3 v 5 because two of your teamates dc'ed? NO problem! My lvl 25 Meepo will faceroll the whole enemy team into submission! 2 divine rapiers on shadow fiend to get to 1000 damage? Why not! 4 golems with Warlock to wreck faces andbases? Yes please!

Sounds like you play with mega-scrubs 24/7.
