    Great games so far. Na'vi(both) and Liquid have surprised me so far, as well as Alliance. They looked stronger going in but they're pretty much nowhere.

    Safe to say Arrow won't be going anywhere, I've watch 2.5 of their games and they are poor as hell.

    Team|Score
    Cloud9|4-1
    Invictus Gaming|3-1
    Natus Vincere EU|3-1
    Natus Vincere US|3-1
    Team Liquid |3-1
    Vici Gaming|3-1
    Evil Geniuses|3-2
    Fnatic|3-2
    Newbee|3-2

    Aye, lots of good dota to watch indeed !

    For the B teams that came through the qualifiers like NAR'Vi and Liquid, I think playing against strong teams like they did on the first day was really to their advantage. Coming out of a long stretch of boot camping the 'bigger' teams like DK and EG were caught off guard as its difficult to predict what they were practicing. I fully expect a big turn around today for the A teams to be honest, but some upsets would be interesting ! Lets be honest, I only want the teams I LIKE to make the main playoffs :D:D

    I don't think Void will be picked up today. 31% winrate over the last 2 days. Not many teams playing to his strengths.

    Also, Skyrath ftw!

    a surprising lack of batrider too from what I've seen. sky's movement speed and recent buffs have made him a really strong hero. Razor also making waves. just goes to show that strats are kept for the big ones :p

    Razor has been drafted for the last month or so quite often. Its the Skyrath thats pretty much popped up out of nowhere (last few weeks maybe).

    yeah we didnt see that much of him at the summit alright. with razor though its just his value which has shot up. he has been used but not nearly as much as here. his stronger lane presence then that of batrider since the nerfs would be one reason and this carry-centric mid role that seems to be a thing. speaking of which, what about naga? I didnt see much of yesterday but in the games I did see she wasnt picked or banned at all

    Naga was played a couple of times. She was countered with hard pushers so by the time she came online the games were almost over already.

    good!
    Didn't see any Na'Vi games. not too surprising to see them go 3-1. I think they are a team that adapts on site very well and with some of the results that have been happening id say they are in their element. how were they drafting? any puppey craziness?

    not sure about VG at all

    Hmm, I seem to be clueless.

    Saying that, I think VG have a really tough schedule today.

    I think the tournament has just shown that there's no real leaders so far and that nearly everyone has a shot at winning this. Arrow could have won 2 more games on top of the 2 they won yesterday but threw them hard. That would have put them right up there.

    Empire back from the brink now but the LGD win just now has effectively ruled them out of the next phase. Alliance NEED to beat Na'vi now or they are eliminated.
