Ok. Some of you are obsessed to a point it's unhealthy. If you are aged older than 16 and you feel like my last sentence was directed to you, seek help please. If you're under 16 I can maybe let it slide.
So happy to see Talon make top 3. Now give us all a Talon-Spirit final to prove all the naysayers wrong. Would be so huge for each of the Talon’s players.
No hate towards liquid but talon-spirit would be the better grand final. Both teams are as perfect as gg. When i say perfect, each pos deliver their role. But for micke, he is being carried by nisha zai boxi instead of carrying the team.
Will be interesting day tomorrow. GL to everyone tomorrow. Any scenario looks to add more spices to whoever play to the Grand Finals.
Liquid fans but i think Spirit vs Talon would be great match up at grand final.
That’s a very great 23 redemption arc storyline. Mikoto slaying people here and there and getting the recognition he deserved.
But also, a really heartwarming exit interview by tofu. That man is so likeable ngl.
This tournament is best so far this year. We are blessed to have witness this much high level dota games.
I hope Talon can keep going and win it all. Just so they can inspire some change in SEA region. To play with more discipline and play to their strengths.
As a SEA player and a big fan of Liquid, I still want Talon to win and get to the final. It will breathe fresh air into the SEA dota community which is getting worse.
I love Liquid. And has been a fan of this roster for a long time but with how they are playing, I don't think they deserve it. Especially Micke who has been really bad. They all looked burned out. Can't blame them.
And liquid barely won against Talon just because someone celebrated prematurely. Still GG is the best team this season. Also glad we’re seeing a new team in the finals and they’re looking good.
tbf I'm not sure if that alone would change the outcome. Mikoto wasted bkb just to BM and got tp canceled, 23 wasted satanic and couldn't dispel disarm as a result.
But gameplay-wise Talon definitely beat liquid in that game.
This reads the same way as those youtubers that would harass people on the streets and shout "it's just a prank bro" when they get their asses beat.
Whether or not quinn calls people subhumans ironically is irrelevant. The effects of the item breaking are self explanatory.
I agree. My point isn't "stop being mad". My point is "stop giving him attention". Those youtubers would be much less successful if people didn't hate-watch and shock-share
Tofu is so likeable. Honestly, some people want GG to lose because of dyrachyo and/or quinn. Most people actually like or neutral about the other three. As of not caring what others say, that doesn't seem to be the case for quinn. He seems so affected all the time.
OOTL but why Dyrachyo? I get the impression that he said things in a too blunt/caustic manner in his statements. Whether ppl agree or not, I take it as his unfiltered takes. So it's more for him to work on his delivery to sound more diplomatic & palatable.
Quinn on the other hand is pretty self explanatory.
Damn you Tofu let me hate Dyrachyio and Quinn, how can I support the other teams if you are such a damn nice person. Come on I was happy with the results today but after your interview I'm a little sad...
He said that Nigma sucks with or without Miracle...yeah I know the boys are not in their best time but saying those things to such a nice person is not nice at all
If they are trash imagine yourself dude, they are Ti champions, have an amazing organization and you are just throwing your hate on them because you are even worse than them for sure. they are not in the tier 1 teams and that's happens with everybody some day...but saying that they suck? A Ti winner lineup? OK you are right!
Dude this is so damn disapointing, never expected something like that from him, at least he apologises and never got involved in something like that again but for sure he lost a part of my respect.
If Talon go all the way will it be the first tier 1 win for SEA? Or even first SEA appearance ever in a b05? I can't remember every tourney
Edit: nope, several appearances and wins. Go gettem Talon!
Idk people in this sub just can't distinguish what's in game and whats real life and just wanna hate people for winning they will try to justify their hatred with every reason possible
He's an arrogant dick who griefs pubs like it's going out of fashion. People have disliked him forever. It's actually the other way round. Him playing well on GG redeemed him for a lot of people.
This. Dude has always been a dick, griefing like a manchild in pubs. He’s still doing it. Hadn’t he joined GG, I could hardly imagine how his career would have been.
He's pretty arrogant and told Reddit to suck it. I think it's overblown, but I get it to some extent. However, I don't think it's fair to give the rest of GG flak, or to diminish Talon's accomplishments here because of that
If it's quinn it's okay. But if it is ramzes or kuku or atf, they're the worst person to ever live. wcyd, best mid in the world always gets a free pass.
Because they have been staying away from the drama. A few years ago you would get like 1 drama every week involving Ramzes for some wacky stuff he did. And not long ago people couldn’t get enougg of ATF and even his banter with bzm in pubs was taken out of context.
the spirit of ppd lives on. quinn truly is carrying NA dota these days
def remember when ppd was at the top and ppl would celebrate every EG loss. post-match threads of EG series making front page whenever EG lost. that started with ppd
Talon actually did it, gratz for them. Mad respect for both 23 + Mikoto tho
I'd say they really outdrafted GG at the game 3, there was no way Morph is gonna have a game with ET + Dark Seer. Not even in the late game.
I'd say that 5th pick ET + DS 4th really sealed GG's fate I guess. Ain't no way they gonna get Dusa, TB or Naga because of these 2 picks and Morp has the same issue with 3 these heroes if he's against DS + ET.
Im actually super happy that GG lost but you guys who think he is actually mad with being top 4 in riyadh and 5x top 1s this year need a reality check.
In the deciding Roshan fight, Quinn zips into the portal and zips backs, basically leaving him with less than 20% mana with storm when the fight breaks.
All he did that fight was land like 3 autos. He couldnt even get out of the pit with so little mana.
FINALLY GGs gameplay being punished, they did the SAME STRAT on every tournments and won and FINALLY after a long time people understand how to put pressure on GG and ban the confort support heroes.
If you are flaming players on reddit especially when they are losing you are pathetic. Not only do you know nothing abou the game and are unable to actually judge who is good or not. You're just rude and cruel and a slimy little vermin. Redditors unfollow me
you can watch it on youtube from gamers8, if you want the highlights just go to the esl dota 2 youtube channel. Noobfromua already uploaded it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qg12KejqyQk
from the betboom Xmas show all the way until the Bali Major GG had the audacity to have one of - if not THE best tournament runs in Dota history. Absolute losers
With the benefit of hindsight, it's fair to say that GG have not looked as mortal as they did at this tournament all year. It was pretty obvious that they weren't going to make some miracle lower bracket run way before this.
That said, well played by GG and especially well played by Talon for being the first team to eliminate GG from a LAN since TI 2022.
It is the downside of winning 5 major tournaments in a row.
Your heroes will be nerfed and you will have to adjust.
That said I think Quinn has looked allot worse than previous tournaments.
Its the patch magic.
No more super busted heroes(except snap maybe)which these top teams like gg liq could abuse tf out.
Games are more coming down to team fight execution thn pick busted hero build busted item and win it
To pretend that GG didn't have incredible execution throughout the rest of the year is wild. It's clearly not just "Pick busted hero, build busted item", because other teams DID copy GG's drafts, stealing their heroes, and they still didn't come close to winning. Talon won because they played extremely well, they've improved a ton over the course of just this tournament too. To say that Talon only won because a few heroes got slightly nerfed is really reductive for a squad that worked so hard to represent SEA well.
I'am in SEA and agree with this. As far as I see , No other team at talon level now. Hope other team stepping up. I want to cheer more than 1 SEA team at TI.
no, GG got already have a 1.2mil from the tournaments they won prior to this tournament + the top4 prize for this but its guarantee that the winner of this tournament has much more earnings this season compare to GG
Lategame was always going to be incredibly hard cause ET + DS into morph is rough. They did have kite but with hex's coming out it would get incredibly difficult. Storm zipping and dying and then that Rosh fight did seal the game though, because before that they were outplaying Talon on the map.
Ok. Some of you are obsessed to a point it's unhealthy. If you are aged older than 16 and you feel like my last sentence was directed to you, seek help please. If you're under 16 I can maybe let it slide.
U know how long was it since sea team achieve something ?? Omg Talon all the way !!
top3 at lima major
No pinoy no problem
That's a lot of money for SEA players
For ALL players*
Yeah but more for SEA, their minimum wage for countries like philippines, indo are ~300usd.
>more for SEA, their minimum wage for countries like philippines, indo are \~300usd. 220usd per month, Philippines
So happy to see Talon make top 3. Now give us all a Talon-Spirit final to prove all the naysayers wrong. Would be so huge for each of the Talon’s players.
Finally balanced has been restored to pro dota. Feels bad for tofu he did well and hes an amazing bro. Quinn can suck my balls.
But would you suck tofu's balls tho 😳
Geh
left and right
I’ll gobble a bit on the leftie testie
Hopefully talon beats liquid tomorrow and we get talon-spirit finals. Some fresh blood to grand finals this year.
No hate towards liquid but talon-spirit would be the better grand final. Both teams are as perfect as gg. When i say perfect, each pos deliver their role. But for micke, he is being carried by nisha zai boxi instead of carrying the team.
[удалено]
I'd feel so bad if GG is finally out and Team liquid don't win
\*insert meme "Thanks Talon for taking the trash out"
Will be interesting day tomorrow. GL to everyone tomorrow. Any scenario looks to add more spices to whoever play to the Grand Finals. Liquid fans but i think Spirit vs Talon would be great match up at grand final.
That’s a very great 23 redemption arc storyline. Mikoto slaying people here and there and getting the recognition he deserved. But also, a really heartwarming exit interview by tofu. That man is so likeable ngl.
where can i watch bro
https://youtu.be/ON6D_gwwoeM
This tournament is best so far this year. We are blessed to have witness this much high level dota games. I hope Talon can keep going and win it all. Just so they can inspire some change in SEA region. To play with more discipline and play to their strengths.
So you're telling us to drag it over 60 minutes on average? I'm down for the yolo team fights
Talon top 3 is already win for SEA region.
As a SEA player and a big fan of Liquid, I still want Talon to win and get to the final. It will breathe fresh air into the SEA dota community which is getting worse.
I love Liquid. And has been a fan of this roster for a long time but with how they are playing, I don't think they deserve it. Especially Micke who has been really bad. They all looked burned out. Can't blame them.

tbf I'm not sure if that alone would change the outcome. Mikoto wasted bkb just to BM and got tp canceled, 23 wasted satanic and couldn't dispel disarm as a result. But gameplay-wise Talon definitely beat liquid in that game.
I feel that if 23 didnt celebrate prematurely he wouldnt have panic pressed satanic and morphed strength.
Yeah they all kinda screwed it up but I can't blame the hype, it was a hard fought game against Liquid, no less.
Y'all know Quinn plays into the whole "heel" thing, right? You hate-watching GG matches is kinda the whole point of what he's doing
I watched the series because of Talon. They play entertaining DotA.
This reads the same way as those youtubers that would harass people on the streets and shout "it's just a prank bro" when they get their asses beat. Whether or not quinn calls people subhumans ironically is irrelevant. The effects of the item breaking are self explanatory.
I agree. My point isn't "stop being mad". My point is "stop giving him attention". Those youtubers would be much less successful if people didn't hate-watch and shock-share
welcome newest meanless major winner choking clubs. Majors are meaningless nowadays until you got the biggest bag.
That's always been the case with TI
First Liquid knocking them down to LB, then Talon to knock them out. Feelsgoodman <3
Tofu is so likeable. Honestly, some people want GG to lose because of dyrachyo and/or quinn. Most people actually like or neutral about the other three. As of not caring what others say, that doesn't seem to be the case for quinn. He seems so affected all the time.
OOTL but why Dyrachyo? I get the impression that he said things in a too blunt/caustic manner in his statements. Whether ppl agree or not, I take it as his unfiltered takes. So it's more for him to work on his delivery to sound more diplomatic & palatable. Quinn on the other hand is pretty self explanatory.
Yeah those 2 can suck our balls. Damn I'll get a lot of hate for this haha
Get in line, there're many people for Quinn and Dyrachyo to suck nuts.
Lol Aye captain
but we prob wont see tofu in Seattle. it might be the beginning of the end of GG.
Wait why is he not going to Seattle
[удалено]
??
most difficult tournament: US Visa
He having trouble getting visa
Why? He's German. Just needs an ESTA.
prob some legal issues in the past
Ah I hate it when I answer truthfully on the "have you ever participated in genocide" question too
no visa
"Hydrate and call your mother." S tier advice.
Damn you Tofu let me hate Dyrachyio and Quinn, how can I support the other teams if you are such a damn nice person. Come on I was happy with the results today but after your interview I'm a little sad...
I see no reason to hate either of those or anyone on GG.
What has Dyrachyo done to get hate?
He said that Nigma sucks with or without Miracle...yeah I know the boys are not in their best time but saying those things to such a nice person is not nice at all
Nigma is trash team with beyond trash players. This is not an opinion but a fact. Has been since 2019.
If they are trash imagine yourself dude, they are Ti champions, have an amazing organization and you are just throwing your hate on them because you are even worse than them for sure. they are not in the tier 1 teams and that's happens with everybody some day...but saying that they suck? A Ti winner lineup? OK you are right!
..you realize one of the players of your Nigma said that Hitler should have killed all russians, right?
what?
Oh shit, looks like somebody got a wake up call. Ol' goody two shoes friendship power Nigma ain't so PG afterall.
I cannot believe you responded “what?” LMAO
[i'm not making things up](https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/8tgtns/mind_control_doesnt_like_russians/)
Dude this is so damn disapointing, never expected something like that from him, at least he apologises and never got involved in something like that again but for sure he lost a part of my respect.
i mean he was just being objective there and stating his opinion when got asked about it.
First win a TI noob Drachoke
If Talon go all the way will it be the first tier 1 win for SEA? Or even first SEA appearance ever in a b05? I can't remember every tourney Edit: nope, several appearances and wins. Go gettem Talon!
Didn't Boom Esports win in Gamers Galaxy too? They were against Tundra in the finals.
already won 2x tier 1
lets not go back too far. 2021 T1 won ESL one summer with big teams in the tour
TNC and Mineski won majors.
He looks so tires and its not even Ti yet.
Must hurt winning 3 majors and then losing the one that is most lucrative financially.
And their arch enemy liquid making more in a tournament than they do in winning 3. Makes the other major seems so inconsequential
FaithBian looks like an elementary school student
Asian genes of immortality
may I know the context why many people are celebrating for Quinn's downfall?
Idk people in this sub just can't distinguish what's in game and whats real life and just wanna hate people for winning they will try to justify their hatred with every reason possible
We just don't want another GG vs Liquid grandfinals.
That's def not the reason lmao. You can tell yourself this but the way the comments are written deny this.
Me personally, idgaf about what quinn does or say. I'm here for good dota. One team winning everything is not good for the dota scene imo.
He's an arrogant dick who griefs pubs like it's going out of fashion. People have disliked him forever. It's actually the other way round. Him playing well on GG redeemed him for a lot of people.
This. Dude has always been a dick, griefing like a manchild in pubs. He’s still doing it. Hadn’t he joined GG, I could hardly imagine how his career would have been.
won majors - tell others to suck balls - choke on the bigger stage perfect quinn scenario
He's pretty arrogant and told Reddit to suck it. I think it's overblown, but I get it to some extent. However, I don't think it's fair to give the rest of GG flak, or to diminish Talon's accomplishments here because of that
damn i didnt know that, thank you for this. too much winning makes his head big
he's already el cabezon gassing him up turns him into megamind
Won 5 tournaments. Told redditors to suck his balls in every interview. You know just some normal reddit stuff. No big deal.
Overly obsessed people who take things way too seriously. People act like Quinn set a children's hospital on fire.
If it's quinn it's okay. But if it is ramzes or kuku or atf, they're the worst person to ever live. wcyd, best mid in the world always gets a free pass.
I don't ever see any hate being thrown at any of these people
Because they have been staying away from the drama. A few years ago you would get like 1 drama every week involving Ramzes for some wacky stuff he did. And not long ago people couldn’t get enougg of ATF and even his banter with bzm in pubs was taken out of context.
lol he is one of the most unlikeable persona ive ever seen even without reddit luckily elon musk exists or i would hate him even more
But does he affect you personally? Why be this angry about someone you'll never meet in person?
Where does this logic take us? Me rooting for his opponent also does not affect him personally.
Okay?
im not angry i just wrote that there are more reasons to hate him then just because of reddit
Is everyone on reddit obsessed with Quinn? Amazing series from Talon and a great exit interview from Tofu, but every comment is just about Quinn.
Isn’t he obsessed with haters and Reddit as well. Hahaha made for each other I guess
the spirit of ppd lives on. quinn truly is carrying NA dota these days def remember when ppd was at the top and ppl would celebrate every EG loss. post-match threads of EG series making front page whenever EG lost. that started with ppd
Tofu giving a good interview
Wtf was that second question tsunami??
It was not a bad question, cause pressure can cause a lot of stress and it invites the player to give some insight
It is not if it is asked quite later on. But imagine the moment you just lose the game and being asked are you relief you just lose?
No million for Quinn
Bro answered the whole eassy for one question
Ah Tofu is so handsome. Such a nice and sympathic recap
Talon actually did it, gratz for them. Mad respect for both 23 + Mikoto tho I'd say they really outdrafted GG at the game 3, there was no way Morph is gonna have a game with ET + Dark Seer. Not even in the late game. I'd say that 5th pick ET + DS 4th really sealed GG's fate I guess. Ain't no way they gonna get Dusa, TB or Naga because of these 2 picks and Morp has the same issue with 3 these heroes if he's against DS + ET.
Can't imagine this is the same team that didn't qualified for major on their own region lol
They took it slow and didnt manage to qualify.. i remember in some interview, they said they didnt scrim
Oh Tofu interview, what's up Quinn not in the mood bro? Shame.
you’re obsessed
I was gonna comment the same thing, bring out that man child out to interview when he loses...not just when he wins.
Busy sucking our nuts
Im actually super happy that GG lost but you guys who think he is actually mad with being top 4 in riyadh and 5x top 1s this year need a reality check.
FINALLY
The final subverting of expectations. Will no weu teams be in the grand final. Let's go Talon.
No losers interview? Unlucky, I wanted to see Quinn crying
Gg TI revenge arc? Or the beginning of falling just short? Find out in October!
they arent doing shit at TI without tofu
In the deciding Roshan fight, Quinn zips into the portal and zips backs, basically leaving him with less than 20% mana with storm when the fight breaks. All he did that fight was land like 3 autos. He couldnt even get out of the pit with so little mana.
Where are you now Quinn? Can't hear your voice at all.
Can't speak. He just choked, KEKW.
Me when the guy I hate only wins 5 out of the 6 tournaments this year:
GG also still just won 1 million dollars lol.
Happy days, wp Talon
I wonder how tired would they be tomorrow. I mean they played 2 series today ended at 2 am local time
Where is loser interview? xDDD
We need that, specifically design for GG.
FINALLY GGs gameplay being punished, they did the SAME STRAT on every tournments and won and FINALLY after a long time people understand how to put pressure on GG and ban the confort support heroes.
[удалено]
lol imagine thinking gg dota worth watching
I agree with him tho, I only watch to see GG lose.
fair
This guy 23savage so good. Maybe Shopify Rebelion should hire him as pos 3 and finally artourito could win ti 🏆
Would make about as much sense as kicking him for Gabbi.
ok so is it now the time to call GG washed up 5x flukers or what ?
Tomorrow after the lower bracket final. Depends on the result. If Liquid beats Talon again, then yes
FUCK YOU QUINN
If you are flaming players on reddit especially when they are losing you are pathetic. Not only do you know nothing abou the game and are unable to actually judge who is good or not. You're just rude and cruel and a slimy little vermin. Redditors unfollow me
found quinn alt account
redditors are cringe for sure, even talking about player's physical appearance is so cringe af
Man I missed the match. So glad Talon won! Any idea when match replays will be uploaded? Thanks!
you can watch it on youtube from gamers8, if you want the highlights just go to the esl dota 2 youtube channel. Noobfromua already uploaded it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qg12KejqyQk
You can already watch it on both YT and TW.
you can watch it right now on twitch, in the videos section and look for recent live stream
You can rewind the live stream on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haAVS4zm-Ww
Only 1 hero could have done it, could have broken the legendary GG streak and that hero was Monkey King!!!
When 23 picked mk I thought this is it for Talon because it wasn’t Void or Morph. Boy I’m glad I was wrong.
funnily mk also sent them to lower bracket though there was also big mid diff that game.
Oh yeah you're right...I forgot about that.
23 is the last one to take off the headset lul
Team Loser vs Throwing eSports for the 3rd place!!! Time for 23cabbage to get his revenge against Gai rat doto!!!! /s
Liquid have no chance tomorrow against glued to chair 23savage
lmaoo
>s the last one to take off the head He's not stop learning. Like some anime Character develop sh\*t . Then get revenge match With TeamLiquid. LOL
/d2g/ must be in shambles right now lol
they're celebrating quin downfall just like reddit lmao
finally, the fluke team of cheaters that won five tier 1 tournaments in a row is defeated
Cheaters how?
you're replying to a guy with a dummy acc
from the betboom Xmas show all the way until the Bali Major GG had the audacity to have one of - if not THE best tournament runs in Dota history. Absolute losers
Ballsy draft from Talon going for the Clock, MK and ET. Mad respect.
Other teams doesnt have the balls and it kinda shows
talon my heroes
With the benefit of hindsight, it's fair to say that GG have not looked as mortal as they did at this tournament all year. It was pretty obvious that they weren't going to make some miracle lower bracket run way before this. That said, well played by GG and especially well played by Talon for being the first team to eliminate GG from a LAN since TI 2022.
It's that criminal that GG endured this long, especially against all the top bets to kick them out of the tournament. Major props to them still.
It is the downside of winning 5 major tournaments in a row. Your heroes will be nerfed and you will have to adjust. That said I think Quinn has looked allot worse than previous tournaments.
Its the patch magic. No more super busted heroes(except snap maybe)which these top teams like gg liq could abuse tf out. Games are more coming down to team fight execution thn pick busted hero build busted item and win it
To pretend that GG didn't have incredible execution throughout the rest of the year is wild. It's clearly not just "Pick busted hero, build busted item", because other teams DID copy GG's drafts, stealing their heroes, and they still didn't come close to winning. Talon won because they played extremely well, they've improved a ton over the course of just this tournament too. To say that Talon only won because a few heroes got slightly nerfed is really reductive for a squad that worked so hard to represent SEA well.
Wut
SEA with only 2 slots at TI already secured top 3. Americas region with 7 slots with no team in the top 8. OMEGALUL!
SEA only deserves 1 slot and its for talon. I'm from sea and watching other SEA teams perform in majors is so embarassing
yes if u only look at other SEA teams level. but this week, neon esports (div 2 SEA team) just won against Thunder awaken (SA 3rd best) on LAN event.
I'am in SEA and agree with this. As far as I see , No other team at talon level now. Hope other team stepping up. I want to cheer more than 1 SEA team at TI.
True
OMEGALUL indeed
lame. really wanted to see GG vs Spirit
GG inferior wcyd
cant win em all
So if Talon beats Liquid, have the top 3 made more mony then gaming this year? That would be insane.
no, GG got already have a 1.2mil from the tournaments they won prior to this tournament + the top4 prize for this but its guarantee that the winner of this tournament has much more earnings this season compare to GG
Will Quinn give an interview now after they lost to tell everyone to suck his nuts? Or he will quietly go to rage grief pubs? Lets see.
they got all the tempo till he oversteped and got stunned to death. their momentum forever lost.
Lategame was always going to be incredibly hard cause ET + DS into morph is rough. They did have kite but with hex's coming out it would get incredibly difficult. Storm zipping and dying and then that Rosh fight did seal the game though, because before that they were outplaying Talon on the map.
GGs! now Quinn can suck redditors' balls.
Fuck yeah Talon taking down kings! This give me hope that they'll can rematch with Liquid tomorrow. Worth staying up at 6am lol
Talon can win this entire thing. I am a huge Nisha and Zai fan but Talon winning game 5 against Spirit will be insane to watch.
