this is my understanding on the format from what i interpret. it seems like 64 sg teams who signed up get condensed to 8 teams via lan qualifiers (Bo1 single elim) over 4 weeks. the 8 teams then play 8 intl teams (invited/qualified not mentioned) for the finals. (Bo1 single elim until grand finals bo3).

prize pool is nice but the bo1 single elim is questionable. rgn continues to give me a bad impression.

as i had feared.
that production value.

[Cyanide]

1 minute into the video. You don't have to know anything about dota 2 to know how shitty those casters were.

DotA 2 in Korea

I wonder which team(s) will now enter Korea. It seems to have a nice prize money pool and the standard of living in my opinion is better in Korea than in China so...

[Torniquet]

Watching the Korean league was crazy. The teams were okay, not great but the Korean Starcraft casters were amazing. Not a chance of listening to the english over them.

Also now that they have implemented guilds into Dota2 feel free to join. Ill usually invite you if i see you in the sc2sea channel or you can PM me on here or whatever. It would be good to see people take advantage of the guild party invite for matchmaking.

[LennX]

Trading done.

[Torniquet]

Use Dota2lounge.com for trading items. Its easiest and the best way to find whatever trades you want. Can also bet on matches for items.

With the recent patch as well you are now able to change the client into Korean. You can do a full swap so Korean voices and text, or just have Korean voices and English text.

Right click Dota 2 and change the language in the properties to Korean.

[LennX]

Lounge is a generally good place. Just beware of scammers. There are quite a number of them.

[TABjornbrandr]

I'm trying to finish off my player card teams, I started quite late so I'm frantically tracking down anyone with spare cards.
If you have cards that are taking up space, I'll happily take them from your hands. Steam ID is Dr Rustles!

Sort of. Na'vi fucked up hard at the end. Dendi not carrying TP. Puppey leading S4 to Dendi. Going back to defend after losing 2 sets of rax instead of going for throne.

[Torniquet]

6.79 is out. Massive patch.

Patch Notes.

[BlueS]

The tango changes -.-

[Elusory]

The Tranquil Boots changes are pretty nice. Not really a buff though, because now you only need one instance of damage to break the boots. Still, the HP regen is quite gay! Played 3 games of Crystal Maiden so far already and liking the new changes.

[EXCL]

I wonder how evasion stacks diminishingly? would be nicer if it was explained.
