So based on how everyone is feeling currently... Do you think next year will have such a large prizepool as this year?

[QUOTE=Gorm;45458849]So based on how everyone is feeling currently... Do you think next year will have such a large prizepool as this year?[/QUOTE] I do think so if Valve has the same amount of great goals/content as this year.

[QUOTE=Gorm;45458849]So based on how everyone is feeling currently... Do you think next year will have such a large prizepool as this year?[/QUOTE] "it will never be as bad as the ti4 finals" is probably going to be a common phrase

SEE YOU SPACE COWBOYS

rotk is gonna need a recovery midas after he's fired

[QUOTE=themooselord;45458836]I wonder if there would be the same accusations if vici won.[/QUOTE]well if newbee kept picking the same heros every game and kept losing then yes EDIT weird was there no VG post game interview

[QUOTE=Kondor;45458855]"it will never be as bad as the ti4 finals" is probably going to be a common phrase[/QUOTE] It wasn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be though. Sure it was anticlimactic but it wasn't absolute shit. There was a lot of action going on the first few games, it's just that vici completely fell apart the last game and they were drafting awfully the 2 last games based on previous games before that.

[QUOTE=MasterFen006;45458817]So much racism in the Twitch chats right now, it shouldn't surprise me considering it's Twitch but still.[/QUOTE] From some Facepunchers too. I got some pretty awful PM's after the grand finals, but I'm not going to name who exactly. Should be fucking ashamed.

[QUOTE=Gorm;45458849]So based on how everyone is feeling currently... Do you think next year will have such a large prizepool as this year?[/QUOTE] Regardless of what happened just now, Valve mainly racked up a huge prize pool due to great stretch goals. If they can repeat that, why not?

[QUOTE=Kondor;45458867]rotk is gonna need a recovery midas after he's fired[/QUOTE] they still got a million dollars in second place. That's still a bright side to it even if it isn't 5 million.

[QUOTE=Kondor;45458004]wow what a boring chinese vs chinese grand final right guys[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Kondor;45458405]this game is so disappointing i can't believe this is it[/QUOTE] rofl

I still want to kill vici for those picks....... What do they achieve by picking np and apparations... jesus there's a million hero combinations with combos like void/witch doctor etc etc and you go for late game heroes really?

[QUOTE=Gorm;45458849]So based on how everyone is feeling currently... Do you think next year will have such a large prizepool as this year?[/QUOTE] Do you honestly think people bought the compendiums for the players to get a bigger prize pool? Seriously, all the items you get from it pays for itself.

[QUOTE=Valiantttt;45458747]For new viewers it is actaully better. Short games with alot of action.[/QUOTE] yesterday i had a game with an enigma and legion who gave up because their kd ratios were terrible 15 minutes in, their reasoning being "in the international games the pros give up when their kds are bad, and ours is even worse than theirs, so there's no point i hope i dont see more of this, because the real reason we lost was the enemy's rubick outplaying the enigma/legion at every turn, and pros basically never gg games due to kd ratio

So when is the afterparty? I need something to cheer me up after that stomp.

[QUOTE=Left4Meds;45458890]rofl[/QUOTE] it had nothing to do with chinese strats, game 1 and 2 were amazing to watch and then it was shit after vg tilted hard

[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;45458905]Do you honestly think people bought the compendiums for the players to get a bigger prize pool? Seriously, all the items you get from it pays for itself.[/QUOTE] I know some people who actually bought multiple compendiums to raise the prize pool because they supported the tournament.

I was expecting more of a fight from VG after ROTK picking Clockwerk and then losing game 2 I expected them to comeback from that but nope they kept on picking the heroes that did not work for them and it cost them.

was there a vg after game interview

The after-party is at 7pm PST (about five hours from now) [img]http://i.imgur.com/RlPAQmv.jpg[/img] The average EG player isn't even old enough to attend :v:

[QUOTE=Yahnich;45458974]why is it 21+, it' just a party?[/QUOTE]booze. also im going to be in my angry at my shitty indecisiveness at betting corner for a little while

[QUOTE=Yahnich;45458974]why is it 21+, it' just a party?[/QUOTE] Is that a real question?

[QUOTE=Totenkreuz;45458992]Is that a real question?[/QUOTE] He doesn't live in America

[QUOTE=Totenkreuz;45458992]Is that a real question?[/QUOTE] Most countries don't have such a horrible drinking age

[QUOTE=Yahnich;45459005]can't they just do what everyone else does and forbid booze to minors?????? it's not hard to ask id or even giving -18yo their own party bracelet to show they can't drink for example here, green bracelet means -16 no alcohol, orange is -18 meaning only beer and red is 18+ meaning go crazy man[/QUOTE]In USA no alcohol of any kind is allowed under 21 and minors can't attend parties where alcohol is served

[QUOTE=Yahnich;45459015]it seems very dumb to exclude like 30% of the TI audience to me, like mentioned, fucking evil geniuses wouldnt even be able attend[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure EG has enough connections that they can just waltz in.

[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;45458882]From some Facepunchers too. I got some pretty awful PM's after the grand finals, but I'm not going to name who exactly. Should be fucking ashamed.[/QUOTE] I definitely hope you already PMed a mod.

Do you really think Valve isn't going to let EG in to the afterparty because they're underage? It also means like all of Fnatic can't go, and a handful of other people. Of course they're going to let their participating teams in.

it was disappointing not because it was a stomp, but because vg picked the same damn heroes every match, expecting them to work for some reason?
