    A thread for talking about current live games and where to find the streams and VoD's. there may be spoilers in here if you want to watch the games later on so be careful!


    Currently watching The Summit Asia finals between VG and Newbee. VG 2-0 up so far in the best of 5. rOtk and company have looked very strong recently but I have no doubt of Newbees ability to comeback and win this match. Game 3 starting soon

    Good sites for finding streams of live matches:
    Teamliquid - right hand menu has current On Air Streams and upcoming matches. also the liquipedia is handy for learning more about the tournaments / teams
    joindota - on the right there. again has a list of upcoming games

    good game 3 there by newbee. punishing the offensive tri of VG. I can see ember just getting banned more and more all the way up until TI4. also liking the TA being picked up more and more. always seems like a hero thats picked when a team is desperate to win

    Game just finished there, but it's going to be rebroadcasted starting in a few minutes, I think.

    edit: It's on BeyondtheSummit's twitch channel. I can't post links because I'm a "new user" >.>

    Fnatic are playing against PR now in The Summit EU Playoffs.

    It's the beyondthesummit2 twitch channel. :)

    Edit: It's a pretty good game so far.

    Really liking this. Some huge plays from PR

    Orange showing some bite against the China teams today. They still have 16(!) games to play over the weekend in WPC so it should be interesting to see how they compare.
