Yeah having to minimize the browser and reveal the schedule bit by bit is annoying. They could very easily just split the schedule into separate pages, or do some modern html magic to keep track of what each person has watched and only reveal it bit by bit themselves.
Well that means it starts at 3am the next day so if you get up early you can watch most of it live. Here it starts at 9pm so I get to watch maybe 3 to 5 hours total if I want to be remotely functional the next day. Anyway I'm not complaining about when/where it's held. I'm perfectly happy to watch it the next day, as long as I can do so spoiler-free. And that's easy to do if they show all matches as if they were watchable and hide the team names in the schedule.
There are WAY too many spoilers, to the point where you should have known that this game should have been a loss for Na'Vi because it is the 2nd out of 3 games, and the 1st game they won, so the second they HAD to loose to extend it to the 3rd game.
This tournament is impossible to watch without spoilers. Just looking at the schedule is a spoiler. Valve should REALLY do something about that for the next International. I live in South Africa. Seattle is 9 hours behind us...
Yes but it shows the number of games per match and which teams are in each match. That spoils pretty much everything. The number of games spoils every game after the first in a match. And the team names spoils the following matches. They should just make it appear that there were 3/3 or 5/5 games in each match, and they should hide the team names behind spoiler tags.
Here's the deal: Go to dota2.com/international/prelims, save as bookmark and avoid any news. You can watch game by game from prelims to main grand final without spoilers (pro tip for big screens, minimize your browser so you cannot see the bottom and reveal schedule bit by bit) and enjoy. Either watch ingame or embedded youtube
I wish I could unsay the part about my timezone. To paraphrase Eddie Izzard, this is not a game of where the fuck do you live. I'm only trying to get them to make the tournament more enjoyable for people who prefer to sleep at night.
They were busy applying pressure through mid lane cause it was way too obvious that DK was going to try n kill puck early on n WR tried to harass but can easily be killed by anti if needed
