constantly, it's brutal. The audio quality is awful too

Hope they fix this shit for tomorrow lol


Also, what is EG doing lmao, is Fly actually playing clinkz and RTZ on phoenix or did they swap seats irl?
Fly was actually playing Clinkz lol. EG still won. They're looking pretty good so far.

Eg looking good but one has to remember, China is very weak this year. Outside of LGD, China is not in good form. Newbee is middling and VG and VGJ earned their points mid way through the year then fell off hard. IG is garbage. Serenity is your typical Chinese wild card, they took the 1st game off Secret but Secret stomped the shit out of them in Game 2. The jury is out on Serenity for now.


First real test for EG is Mineski tonight. They are pretty hot and cold, but way better than VGJ and IG.

This will be the year the pattern is broken, unless Sccc pulls miracles directly out of his sweet chinese bootyhole

VGJ.Thunder just beat LGD in game 1, and EG 2-0'd VGJ.Thunder.

I don't buy that China is weak. They ALWAYS show up to TI, even during years where they barely win any international tournaments.

LGD has dropped two games today that they shouldn't have. Not a good sign for a China win. I think VP may just walk away with this one.

Something I really wasn't expecting, Wraith King is really popular across many teams. Seen him in a lot of games today.

So any standout games that I need to watch in the event I missed them? I tried to watch a couple at work, but it's pretty impossible to keep track of 1 much less 4.

What's the prize pool status of TI8? Did it break last years? I haven't been following it at all but I'm curious how the Battle Royale-type games affected the pool since Fortnite/Pubg are pretty much in the gaming spotlight right now.

Its almost equal to last years so far, short by a couple hundred thousand, but the prize pool increases until August 25th.

This EG vs Mineski Game 2 comeback. If you missed this game, watch it. Mineski should have had this game.

Holy fuck at that comeback. Think they're right that Lina was just worthless.

they needed and should have been wrecking base by 30 mins, especially with the start they had even though they got heavily outdrafted

eg's looking good though

edit: unfortunately we all know artzy will never win a TI so there's that

It's about 300k off from matching last years, i'd guess it will hit it by the time the prize pool locks

Great day 1, did not expect -at all- that WK would be in like 95% of the games played today lol
