There really shouldn't even be a power ranking going from 1-16. You can just bracket teams by consistency and that would be top 3 DPC points on the top.


They're going to have to call it something else then!

realistically i don't think going in that anyone disagreed with the placings. no one expected anything of OG. they have truly been the darkest of dark horses and now they are in the finals.

Ana voted MvP

And ana comes in to just get last hits
Over and over again

He actually messed up, missing CS, dive wrong time, didn't go with the team when they pushed rax, WITH AEGIS (lol)
But OG are the best enablers ever, even losing fly didn't harm them,
And they finally have someone to enable

I think this is a strong top8 TI contender


If you watched their games it was pretty obvious

The writers didn't or didn't pay close enough attention and just brushed off the result to weak competition

To be fair, besides OG this rank was pretty good in hindsight.

They had 6 of the top 8 in their top 8, the only other rankings which were a bit off compared to actual results were Mineski and Vici but I don't think anyone expected them to be as weak as they were.
ana & kpii reppin!

yeah power rank was ok besides one blunder where they just misfired or didn't care enough to ask someone who actually watched OG
Not sure why the outrage lol

the outrage comes from OG fans, who are mad their team was ranked so low. In reality they shouldn't really care, and just be happy that OG are doing so well. People just love to complain;)

if i had to judge who played the best dota this TI overall, i would say LGD > Liquid >= EG > OG > rest.

OG was quite fortunate in their wins against EG and LGD.
I'm pretty sure they would lose 6-7 out of 10 games against LGD, Liquid, EG.

Not sure how it is facts. A non-functional OG was a top 8 team in most tournaments, and 14th in the ranking, and new OG tore their way to qualify, and the counter argument was that EU is a joke, thus somehow placing them lowest. This attempt to state "facts" just makes the writer look uneducated, which seems to be the norm, and now he looks like a numpty, which likewise seems to be the norm with these things on here.

Not sure what you are trying to say. Is it comparable to your post?


I'm down to be the 2 dumbest people on the forums. Or just the dumbest. I would like to image I don't care that much about my cyber dick size.

And to somewhat pretend to be on topic.

Agree with this. Maybe slightly better against EG, but hey, those aren't too bad odds. LGD feels a bit like TL from last year, that when they're rolling, they make the other team look pretty bad. Admittedly, this can be said about a lot of peaking teams in the past. What.. Trent (?) said (which echoes I think a common sentiment), is that TL at least rarely/if ever look really bad/completely out of a game, whereas LGD more frequently seem to get crushed. As a biased fan, I perhaps weigh some of LGD's losses more heavily.

about the last part, nah I think that's really just you noticing it more because you're an LGD fan.
I'd personally describe them as one of the more stable teams and look at Liquid as one of the teams that more often than other teams, has some weird off games. Perhaps that's just my own perception of things because I care more about the Liquid loses than I do about someone else losing.

I'm a bit surprised OG is in the grandfinals tbh but yeah, them being top8 isn't surprising at all. Purge had them as "really good" in hiw video together with Slacks as well (the one where they fill out TI predictions for compendium)
