Awesome series between Nigma and BBT.

Ghost is looking pretty strong at the moment. Maybe it is just the 4 protect 1 kinda thing they often do, but the rest of the team just doesn't quite look as hot.

Ghost did look very good. It was great to see him play with so much confidence. And it would really be great for the SEA scene to see one of their own go deep into the tournament.
Also happy to see Sumail still going strong. His initiations were amazing. TI5 was 10 years ago at this point, it's good to see him still playing great Dota.

As someone who has watched TI from the very start it's fun to see some of the old school names and characters of the scene still competing in some form. I was always rooting for Puppey and it still makes me a bit sad that he'll never get his second Aegis.

I was assuming that the best games would be at the end of the group stage and the first few rounds would be stomps, but I was very wrong. Super hyped for the rest of the tourney if this is how things start!

For once the traditional "change up the format year-on-year for no reason" has paid off, as this new group stage format is miles better and has produced several banger series from day one.

Crazy draft game three of Spirit vs XG, let's see how this plays out.
The AM draft is working. God help us all.
That said, XG is playing very well and Spirit is not looking in good form. The micro from Yatoro was crazy though.
Helm of the Dominator is the new Wraith Pact. God help us even harder.
