are people seriously calling vg and newbee a ricefest like did anybody actually watch either of the teams games or something

[QUOTE=titopei;45452190]I don't think it has to be a racist issue, maybe they just don't want to cheer for teams they want to lose[/QUOTE] Everyone claps as a courtesy clap. Even the biggest fanboys will clap. They were getting all pissed and throwing their handa up and game 2 when EG made the plays.

[editline]20th July 2014[/editline] [url]http://whendidegthrowlast.com/[/url] I swear this needs to be updated.

I feel like Na'vi still had a chance, but they just didn't know when to stop trying to make XBOCT play heroes like Razor. And when it isn't that, they did stupid shit.

Felt like Navi was just trying way too hard to play the meta instead of what they are actually good at this year.

The espn preview was a 2gd introducing the most cringe worthy things that happened during TI. that fucking proposal.. why would you show that on tv, that entices fucking nobody.

The compendium is no longer for sale. The International 2014 prize pool has now been locked at a total of $10,931,105.

[img]http://puu.sh/akroJ/17d8484011.png[/img] the temptation is real

I bet on VG (technically just not newbee at the time) just to get more investment in the final. Eastern only final is a bit disappointing but VG is still a pretty interesting team and I'd MUCH rather they win than Newbee

II have lost every bet this season, I should have won a huge jackpot DK vs Vici but my trade didn't go through for some reason and the bet was invalid. I hope my taunts and a couple dates do me good Vici

I won some cool items for heroes I like from C9 v Na'vi and lost some cool items for heroes I don't play for betting on EG so I guess I'm in an ok place as LONG AS VG WINS TI4 PLEASE

So where are we throwing our arcanas at? VG?

[QUOTE=TentuZero;45453099]So where are we throwing our arcanas at? VG?[/QUOTE] VG is honestly the safe bet imo. They have the fucking fire in their hearts and the adrenaline coarsing through their veins (at least for rotk). If they lost it would be the worst disappointment since I guess TI2 GF. Though, VG could pull a navi. The "good guys" havent won since TI1 so I am hoping this year a miracle happens. I have high hopes for a 3-2 VG win.

I'm trying not to be silly and bet my courier since I'd like to get an arcana. :<

I love that everyone is like 'OMG VG VS NEWBEE CHINESE DOTA SO BORING OOOOM' whilst it is more active then ever. Lets not forgot the fact that last year it was West vs West and NOBODY COMPLAINED. Jesus fucking christ, what is wrong? EG wasn't the better team and they lost. The end.

As much as I'd love to bet the arcana, I've also lost literally every bet I've ever placed on d2l so Im pretty sure it's not worth it to even try. The outcomes are basically: A)If I bet on VG, they'll lose. B)If I bet on Newbee, they'll lose. C)If I bet on no one, VG will win and I'll cry because I could've had 42 dollars ez but I was too much of a pussy to go for it

Just got home from school and am honestly happy to see VG move on I would've liked to see DK or C9 win this cause you know DK has those old players retiring sadly and C9 has those exciting moments in their games but I never really cared much for EG was rooting for VG cause ROTK and the other 4 are great players and it sucks to see people not hype about the finals.

Damn you DK I lost my items twice because of you. TWICE!

Here's to hoping that PTI will yap about something involving TI4 today. [editline]21st July 2014[/editline] And be less of a disaster as the ESPN2 preview appeared to be.

I went all in with my biggest winnings on newbee since last time they played newbee won and went on to beat dk and eg

[QUOTE=BaCkStAbEr;45451078]At this rate, with these teams at the finals, all the 5 games with last a grand total of glorious 25 minutes.[/QUOTE] Nah you're thinking of Starcraft 2. [editline]21st July 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Banned?;45451118]What was wrong with the format? Outside of playing 1 game of a BO3 on one day, which was fucking weird as hell.[/QUOTE] Just people looking for things to bitch at when their favourite teams get eliminated. [editline]21st July 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Atlascore;45451369]That EG vs VG series should've been a best of five, deciding who goes to the grand finals and who gets third off three games is just dumb, it ended up just being one good game sandwiched between two shitty 15 minute stomps.[/QUOTE] So what if it was "2 good games" sandwiched between "three shitty 15 minute stomps", would you want a best of 7?

2 hours until the big one begins to kick off. Pulling a bloody all-nighter to watch this.

5 dollars on VG, lets see if this works.

how many hours from this post do the finals start?

The show begins in 1 hour and 4 minutes. The finals will likely start one hour later after the previews.

Where to bet?
