For the benefit of those watching later, it's probably best to use spoiler tags for TI3 match discussions.

Oh man... I was rooting for Fnatic, but dear lord did I not expect this kind of performance. 2-0 versus Na'Vi, absolutely crushed them. Na'Vi even tried a KotL + PL combo, and Fnatic ate them both. Na'Vi wasn't playing amazingly, I'll admit, but most of that victory was amazing plays from Fnatic.

Wouldn't surprise me if Lifestealer became a first ban against Fnatic for the rest of the group stages.

[umiman]

I said they were good.

By the way, SingSing and Cyborgmatt are casting as well. They're not official casts but I highly recommend them as you get extremely good quality analysis of play from Singsing. http://www.twitch.tv/sing_sing

Edit: I'm not joking, I think he has the best cast right now simply because of how well he'll teach people what's going on.

[Stworca]

Well THAT result was unexpected. 

But we'll see if it will matter in the end. My bet is on "No".

I didn't watch that one, but it looks like Na'Vi beat them in both games on the schedule page. Did I miss something?

EDIT: Weird, it shows Na'vi winning the games on the schedule and losing them on the results page. Huh.

Na'Vi definitely lost, and there are reports of Valve screwing up other things on the Results page as well.

Also, I'm kind of missing the lack of a 'viewed' indicator on matches. During the qualifiers, Valve used the in-game 'previous match' system, which gave instant feedback about which games you'd watched. So far, I've watched 4 live matches but only got credit for 3 on the courier, and have no clue what match I've missed. Worse, with 4 games going at a time, I'm resorting to a spreadsheet to track which matchups I've seen.

EDIT:

Fnatic just picked got Wisp versus Zenith. They then turn around and pick Weaver + Morphling + Timbersaw + Enigma. This game is going to be crazy!

[Heron TSG]

Yeah, the results page seems to be lining up with actual happenings now.

[RexMundi]

Added people who posted names, mine's rexmundi15 btw

[ukulele]

Already lost 4 rares, 2 uncommons and 2 commons betting, my predictions arent the best.

Leave the predictions for the playoffs, during group stage some teams still don't play at 100%. Because losing doesnt have to end their runs.

[ukulele]

Yeah i know but i have some sort of gambling addiction .
EDIT: Beted 4 more rares on DK vs Navi, on navi, not the safest bet and im already thinking its a bad idea.

[Mrhappyface]

I wonder if Spirit Breaker and Warlock will receive nerfs. Their winrate is rather high. Though I think it's funny how most of the warlocks I've seen would rather level shadow word to max than bother put a point into upheaval. And then never use upheaval with the golem.

[ukulele]

Nerfs and buffs are usually considered in regards to the pro scene and not the pubs, i bet riki has a high win rate too and that doesnt mean he needs a nerf.

[Mrhappyface]

Well it's not necessarily that, they're just on the top of the winrate lists for the last two months. Sorta like how Lycan, Centaur, and Morphling were.

[Alkhemia]

Well it's not necessarily that, they're just on the top of the winrate lists for the last two months. Sorta like how Lycan, Centaur, Morphling, and Drow were.

But yeah he get a nerf I think next dota 1 update

[ranter]

Well it's not necessarily that, they're just on the top of the winrate lists for the last two months. Sorta like how Lycan, Centaur, and Morphling were.

But not on the top of the first pick/first ban list. Warlock can be countered (Buy a few diffussals AND SPREAD GODDAMMIT) and spirit breaker too (Wards+counter tps, so not in pubs though). It isn't something like old lycan who needed two guys to be continuously hunting him to be rendered useless and even then could just wait for them to go, get back to farming and start taking down towers like a boss. There's nothing now at the level of old lycan. I know it, I played him in that time a lot.
