Didn't see a thread for this, so I thought it'd be a good idea since it's the biggest online tournament at the moment! (I think? Outside of China at least?)

Prize pool is $10,000 1st place, $5,000 2nd place, $3,500 3rd place and $1,500 4th place.
In-game ticket is £6.49, including a ram courier. The price is quite high because of a partnership with Valve, trialing to see if a large scale tournament can be run with supporting funds from tickets, but there will be [B]186[/B] matches.
Baguette won.
First two games ended up being more on the stompy side

It was experienced pro players against newer pro players tho, was to be expected.
You can't face up against the captain of a team who participated to the International 2012 (even if they didn't do that good) and hope to win easily.
PGG's team does have experience, even though they got stomped harder. If they continue doing this NS will become a flavour of the month again.

PGG has been player worse and worse since a bit before the International 2 tho, you can't say he wasn't playing better about a year ago.

iCCup didnt really show much teamwork either.
Although in the second game, oh god the fails. Magnus failed his ult like 2-3 times, the radiant team teleporting 1 by one on bot dying alone.
as I said, pretty stompy
So, how do pennants work?
Are you eligible for item drops if you spectate the dudes outside the biggest tournaments?(Defence, International)
I think you get drops in any tournament, I'm not sure if you need a pennant for the teams playing specifically or any team or at all though. It was changed recently.
You need to equip the pennant for at least one of the two teams playing the game, works for any tournament.
You can't get tournament drops for games with 2 teams not having pennants.

Wrong, you [B]can[/B] get items in games where neither of the teams have pennants. I watched both of the first game ingame and people were dropping items like crazy, even though there are no Pulse or iCCup pennants.

I can confirm this as well
That panda from iCCup was fucking stupid lol. Every team clash it's like he's lost and doesn't know where to go/what to do.
Man. That Dignitas Tiny.

What a lame game, that invoker was so bad, no second point in invoke until level 12.
Thats the dumbest shit I have seen someone do.
KP vs. Next.kz was hilarious
