That is the big brain thing. Meet up with same region, guarantee at least one get through.
With that beastcoast loss I horribly gambled for tiebreakers for fantasy points and it ended up not happening. :/

Oh yeah nice to see spirit up there also, gonna be cheering for them and secret

This QC-Elephant game, man. The hoho-haha is real.

Yup great setups from slardar and tiny for him. Worth it against a Willow.

I dunno who that host is, but she is horrible, jesus christ. Doesn't know anything about dota, about the teams and doesn't even lead the conversation well at all. Overall the studio has been pretty garbage. Doesn't matter really, the games have been great.

so, how many unpicked heroes left? gotta be less than 10 right?

I agree. Any panel she is on is worthless to watch. :/

Omni was a god, then I suppose got omega nerfed in 7.30c because heavenly grace became dispellable. Might still be OK as a last pick or something if they don't have dispels (or pick up witchbane).
I can definitely see Huskar, Spirit Breaker, Techies and Zeus all be picked during the bracket stage.

Games have been great so far! Super competitive imo. I haven't watched any of the "main stream", mostly the sound was weird and echo'y + the half zoom on the panel / game meant you couldn't see any action anyways.
Bracket is live apparently: https://liquipedia.net/dota2/The_International/2021/Main_Event
LGD picked T1 and iG picked Spirit, must say I agree with both those choices. All the upper bracket matches should be good, I sort of expect iG to roll spirit though. EG/Elephant is kinda scary, neither team seems very consistent so I have no idea where it'll end up going.

Man, wtf. Secret vs OG? I guess LGD is going for the main prize, but after this pick they really deserve to lose or fail miserably..

EG vs Elephant is nutty on paper but in reality both have been way below par this tournament. No idea how the star studded squad of Elephant perform so poorly, they should dominate.

LGD as the first team in group B picked if they want to play the 3rd or 4th teams from group A, the other will play Secret. LGD picked T1 so Secret gets to play OG.

That is probably the problem of such line-ups that the expectations are way to high compared to the actual results. Like the dreaded Secret-Lineup formed after their win at Shanghai Major with Arteezy, Envy, Universe, pld and Puppey...on paper the best players at their respective positions during that time and we all know the results.
At least for one team, TI will end as an disappointment. A BO1 to determine the results of an entire season is just brutal and would have really preferred a BO3.
The chinese Major winners are still looking incredibly scary while the SA-teams played really poorly (except beastcoast). Wondering if the likes of TNC, Tundra, Ehome or Nigma would have had better results.

Well, looking at the highly contested picks like IO or Tidehunter... that are basically Nigma signature heroes! That would be a good start right there! But that is all theorycrafting!
