Yup, we'll have some local casters as well as Pyrion Flaxx doing a few!

I think so yes, I've got messages from (I think) 4 teams this week alone. I reckon maybe end of next month we'll get another ball rolling.

Dustaz

edit: nevermind

Dreddybajs

I arranged with Justice that we (Dire Strats) play Im ur food tomorrow evening, but cherryghost who's supposed to be standing in for them apparently can't play then - tried messaging Justice tonight but no reply. What's the craic, are we still on for tomorrow evening?

edit: Sorted, we're playing Friday evening

cherryghost

Ok, we've got 3 games and 3 times so far!

Drama vs Granga are playing tonight! (either 9 or 10, will confirm asap)
Dire Strats vs Im Ur F00d is set to go ahead Friday at 7
Shiny Orb Express vs WTF are playing Saturday at 8

So just waiting on the final match to be arranged

I can play tonight, once Paul can play we should be ok for love2feed to have 5.

Tar.Aldarion

What do you think http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/c/c3/Nstalk_attack_02.mp3

cherryghost

Drama vs Granga's game will be streamed on Twitch here at circa 9pm. Of course it's viewable in Dota 2 client. Seph will be our lovely host for the evening.

Sephiroth_vg

Guys. Just so we all have better communication, updates and stuff I advise that all players and related lads join a ingame chat channel! Just go look for 'Dota2Ireland' and ull find it!

There are already the Ireland channel with a lot of people as well as the boards guild channel for people to use, I don't think splitting people chatting in a third one will help matters.

cherryghost

Congratulations to Granga who make it through to the next round in the winners bracket, where they will play either WTF or Shiny Orb Express. Unlucky Drama still are in, as they will play the losers of the above in the losers bracket, still in with a chance of making a run.



Tonights game is jesus_had_aegis vs Love2Feed, due to be played at 9:30 this evening.

Tar.Aldarion

Good watch last night, and casting made it much more fun to watch, gj.

Justice

any chance you got match ids? wouldnt mind downloading replay.

cherryghost

Don't have it offhand but there's a Twitch replay here

Brittnom

Yeah, I just seen this right just now, would like to join the next competition. Is there any chance of a christmas cup or something after this one?

One of our teams are a player short tonight if you want to join up?

Brittnom

I actually can't tonight, have a pub crawl I can't miss let me know in future if the same thing happens again!

cherryghost

Gratz to Love2Feed who progress to the next round, trumping jesus_had_aegis easily.

Again they're not out and they still have room for improvement when they face the losers of tonights match between Dire Strats and Im Ur F00d in the losers bracket. Tonight's game is scheduled for around 7:30pm.

Dagon

Justice

I need 2 standins for tonights match, scheduled for 7:45pm.

PM me if interested.

GO_Bear

Who was streaming it last night ?

Tar.Aldarion

Yeah would like to see the two different streams haha.

haha sounds about right

Tar.Aldarion

I placed a ward in their tower range, I want to see if it was commented on

Justice

looks like we'll have the standins, so game should be going ahead around 7:45

so its

Im Ur F00d vs Dire Strats
7:45

Dreddybajs

Thought we were supposed to play at 7 but no worries, that's grand.

edit: We'll have a standin as well btw.

Re: Im Ur F00d vs Dire Strats. Please delete records of that from the internet

cherryghost

tbh it's hard when you guys are literally pooled together at the last second not knowing your strong points. As a result your teamfights where nowhere despite some decent drafting. But hey! It's not the end of the world.

As a result we now have our first semi final winners bracket lineup confirmed. Love2Feed will be playing Dire Strats, time and date tbc. In the losers bracket, jesus_had_aegis will play Im Ur F00d for a place in round 2.

WTF and Shiny Orb Express are due to play tonight at 8pm. After that, the losers brackets will be played out before we move on to the next round.



Fun fact! Dire has won every game so far.

On a seperate note, for the next tourney, these results will have a direct impact on the seedings of the next. I'm hoping we can have 2 divisions to level out the playing field a bit.

Tar.Aldarion

any matchid for tonights game so I can watch the cast/game?

cherryghost

I'm going to grab the MatchID dem's from everyone and upload them for people to watch. Actually, I might request boards allow .dem uploads as they have allowed SCII uploads in the past.

I'll play Dreddy tonight if he wants

Dunno if the lads are around today, haven't seen anybody online. Maybe tomorrow evening?

cherryghost

I'm looking for someone to cast and record the replay of the game last night as there was a bit of confusion last night which resulted in no caster, if anyone's interested.
