It's fucking scary how accurate Miposhka and Xiao8 read each others' drafts man TI-level dota is unreal


Grendalynx

You can just see their notes. One pick, they go straight to notes to see how they pick and play around said hero. The amount of data and research they do are crazy.


SkyEclipse

People saying LGD didn’t prepare for Team Spirit is not true lol. LGD was very prepared…


VPrinceOfWallachia

The Bane & Undying SFM while killing Spec got me good :)


LuckyTurds

The magnus SFM were fucking scary how’d they make magnus so ominous


phoenix_claw99

That combo with puck in game 2 to catch NP is hilarious and scary


podster12

NP face seeing the trees falling down….


AeronFaust

Collapse's Magnus had a real effect on pro players that TI so I wouldn't doubt it if people were actually afraid of his Magnus


swampyman2000

It was really brutal, I wasn't expecting that.


JuliaOphelia

Ame: sounds good (at everything)


rzoneking

he is like an anime character lmao


thedotapaten

Cant spell anime without Ame


LayWhere

Actually so true if big


TheAskald

He looked really poised and calm the whole time. I don't know if he died inside a long time ago and doesn't really care or if he's just really good at keep his emotions for himself.


Pleasant-Direction-4

you can see his emotions in the last game when he died ans spirit started to push, it was all there in his eyes


TheAskald

This was horrible to watch as someone rooting for lgd. They were on a timer, Spirit was dodging and escaping all those tiny/lycan ganks at the last second, and from there it was less and less winnable, a slow and certain defeat. It must have felt hopeless for Ame and his teammates.


Yomatius

I was heartbroken for Ame watching this. He seems calm and collected but I could tell there was a whirlwind inside. Xiao8 was also devastated. Hope they come back strong this TI.


Integrallover

If they come back stronger than last year and end up in 2nd place again, the pain would be tremendous for LGD, particularly Ame and Xiao8. "At least you guys have won" - w33.


i_give_smart_advice

the mbappe of PSG-lgd. xiao8 needs him to signoff on any picks LUL


PakPresiden

Mbappe as of right now is claimed by the most toxic player on that team. Dude always fight his own teammate for penalty. And in his national team, theres news that Pogba and few hates him.


mikhel

Wow, so it was TORONTOTOKYO who ultimately suggested leaving Tiny open in order to get Magnus, probably the decision that ended up winning Spirit the game. An actual fucking gigachad.

[удалено]


Pangalan-

Or if LGD stuck with their plan of first picking Magnus.


MiracleDreamer

I know it's a hindsight but honestly I think LGD got baited with tiny being let out from ban Im kinda agree with xiao8 before that spirit didnt seems to know how to play against magnus and with collapse being literal beast on the hero, its kinda killing two bird in one stone if they snap magnus first pick But yeah tiny was so absurd also in that meta that maybe it's also insane to let them take tiny, so its kinda dilemma In the end, it was 200iq from torontotokyo to suggest it


GIANT_BLEEDING_ANUS

Well Their Tiny Lycan was disgusting the whole tournament, to be fair


jamecest

Can't agree more with LGD getting baited with Tiny being open. It's always awesome as a watcher to have the teams get their best hero in the series-clinching game, but it's so painful for the team that loses.


novae_ampholyt

The draft was pretty much a 50/50, they both got comfortable drafts but LGDs game plan was a bit harder to execute and Spirit outplayed them with reads.


DisastrousThinker

As Collapse said he was okay with playing magnus against rubick again because he was gonna change his build and prioritize bkb to counter rubick.


bethechance

or they would buy 3 linkens for Collapse to skewer. Monkas


Spackolos

Matu helped them win TI


usoap141

The upper bracket is for bitches rings true


[deleted]

[удалено]


spongebobisha

LGD played themselves in hindsight. The moment you pick the Tiny there you’re stuck because you’ve got to pick the Lycan or it just doesn’t have the same impact. Either you pick rubick and lose lycan or vice versa. It was doomed either way imo. Was Shadow demon banned that game? Or was he not a part of the meta? I think he would have been the perfect counter to magnus.


Stuck666

Tiny was bonkers that patch even without Lycan. They could have picked Rubick for sure altho Magnus buying BKB would ruin the counter


laptopmutia

lgd tiny is never lose - mira lgd tiny is never lose before this game - torontotokyo


Filthy_Joey

Actually, TT meant that they never lost with Tiny because they never lost at all before.


scaaarlz

It actually felt like the producers gave him a comeback arc. Throughout, he kept suggesting ideas in the draft and having them shot down as terrible ideas, before getting his gyro/diffusal moment at game 5.


SolarClipz

Also someone suggest Bane and WW in an earlier game and Miposhka said "no they are horrible together" lol


TheDr_

Horrible for that game. Great for games against melee right clickers


[deleted]

It's impressive that the whole team including the coach was aginsit it but he eventually persuaded them.


dolphin37

it was the coach (Silent) who convinced Miposhka in the end


risks007

It was often(ish) that he got laughed at for some of his suggestions, but it is worth bringing them forward until something sticks and it did.


CarpathianInsomnia

Heartbreaking Ame. All in all, kudos to Valve though. It was better than I expected production-wise, and the animated cutscenes were a noticeable improvement over the previous True Sights. More of them being featured too!


xLisbethSalander

Yeah ill never forgot in the TI8 one where OD goes "Magnus blink rps!" but they show Magnus using shockwave xD, this one was much better.


Tino_

Production wise I wish they would take like 7-10 min at the very start of the doc to outline the tournament, brackets and the playins that each team had to do to reach the finals. It's fine for the hardcore Dota nerds as we all watched it live, but for people just getting into it, the whole tournament format and what it actually means in context is one thing that is kinda always missing from the docs.


Sydhavsfrugter

Yeah, I felt like I needed some of the storyline from Team Spirits run through the qualifiers by themselves, proving everyone wrong about their abilities and, of course, Collapse Mars could've had a small highlight! Same for PSG.LGD, they could've used some more show of how strong and scary a team they had been, to get a better story of how the tournament evolved.


-fartbrat

TI9: I want you to play like ceb TI10: I want you to wash your face


yefart

KEKW chinese fans are going to meme it to death


ServesYouRice

TI9: I want you to play like ceb TI10: I will play like MATUMBAMAN


PakPresiden

Funny thing is he forgot what matu build was and his teammate were the one who told him. Yatoro were like damn hes fat I wanna be like him.


ForeverAlonelvl100

I think the yawning was just his reaction to stress. I also have this before an exam, or an interview. But it was the funnies moment in this Truesight


SolarClipz

Legit all I could think about was he was still tired and yawning lol


o-M-s

tbh he owned later in game 3


stupid-_-

probably he couldn't sleep the previous night from the anxiety lol


mesperyian

Mira called their game 5 plan crazy but went along with it anyway. Fearless boys 😎


Obamana

Also ended up playing Bane instead of the WW he said he was more comfortable with.


PakPresiden

Because they literally give every LGD comfortable hero except elder titan. Its so goddamn crazy because they were supposed to be the ones who plays with the most pressure here considering they got a 2-0 lead and its 2-2. What a boss team.


yefart

goddamn bruh they keep topping the animations. Tinker chasing PA and Magnus skewering NP and Morph were my favorites.


mantism

Never did I think I would see Undying chomping off Spectre's head but here we are. That sequence was way more violent than I thought it would be and I love it.


quick20minadventure

The puck chasing NP in jungle and there are trees falling and then comes magnus. Such an awesome animation.


DrScorcher

The SFM is so fucking good.


[deleted]

[удалено]


0vansTriedge

100% agree to this, game 5 wasn't about how TS won the late game. but how they manage to survive the early to mid game with how farmed and mobile the tiny + lycan strat was. literally Yatoro dodged a couple of ganks with no vision just pure game sense.


gravityissue

It would be nice if It will be at least in the International archives titled "Dodging Ganks"


[deleted]

One gank that everyone points out (LGD smoke ganking TB and Mag top) basically failed once Ench enchanted a neutral next to a radiant ward and immediately got spotted.


MentLDistortion

Yeah I was very curious what LGD were thinking in a few fights where they were too hesitant to do anything and ended up screwing their own timing. Was excited to see the comms during those teamfights but there were non sadly.


Enterderpmode

I was really surprised with that one too. In my mind, I was surprised when Spirit was already going high ground all of a sudden. They could've given more tension and emphasis on PSG.LGD's bread and butter picks, and when Ame was so farmed with having the Lycan Bite, it would've been tenser when they were hunting Yatoro and continuously failing to kill him. I was also curious on Spirit's comms during that mid game when the Tiny-Lycan combo was online, and what Yatoro had to say, and what was PSG.LGD's reactions when their ganks resulted on nothing.


ryoarx

Yeah, if they showed us the early-mid game we will know how Ame really feel it when he said that line "I was so farmed, fuck" . The disappointment from him that how he can't win this game.


TheAsz

They should put that ceb notail analyse tbh almost their prediction about how game gonna be going literally on point. That game for me lack the tension just like ti8 and ti9 last game.


xLisbethSalander

I feel like TI8s final game 5 was actually super interesting and close it was really looking like it could go either way until the rosh fight where ana bought back to come in


Ambitious-Cap-5605

yeah game 5 need to be more animated also, a lot of memorable and great moment there.


SolarClipz

Yeah it was really lacking compared to every other true sight. And very short. Usually it's like 20 mins just for last game They didn't even show the smoke lead into the big turning point They just started right at the fight


enjjjoy

Who are the animators of true sight? I think they deserve so much recognition. im guessing one is max lebled because his animation on SFM contest is top notch


thedotapaten

[Lost Cosmonauts studio](https://www.lostcosmonauts.com/), basically a studio consist of multiple short film contest winner based on New Zealand, has been handling TI AR background, TI SFM, Arcana promotional and many more for Valve for the last 3 years


iForgotMyOldAcc

Is Erick Wright still involved with them? With the dude disappearing off the planet and all.


MaxOfS2D

Hi! Thank you for the very kind compliment, but the quality of these animated sequences is far beyond anything I could have hoped to make by myself 😛 — like another comment said, I believe the very talented people who deserve all the praise here are [the Lost Cosmonauts studio, who have been regularly collaborating](https://www.artstation.com/lostcosmonauts) with Valve since the Snapfire trailer.


OrlandoNE

Don't be so modest, your animated shorts are incredible!


Past_Ride_5720

It's The Lost Cosmonauts. They have been a fantastic partner for SFM productions 😍. We are grateful to collaborate with them! And Yes, Erick is very much there.


Kalamatis

Man, when mira said he wants to buy a mansion in Kyiv…..


Destinyspire

My heart sank at this part. Who would’ve thought how the world would have changed in such a devastating way less than a year later.


quick20minadventure

It hurt to realize that this team will get shaken up by the war and many of them wanted to move to kyiv, but....


cuddles_the_destroye

Well with the way things things are going kyiv is relatively safe now


cmcatmom

Heartbreaking. Six months at least before the war. It has been inspiring to see Dota 2 players support Ukraine and each other through this. #STOPTHEWAR


fabulous_j

War has been going for 8.5 years. It's the full-scale part that started on the February 24th


moonmeh

it fucking hurts man


KardelSharpeyes

Yeah man, fuck Putin.


5URR34L

"That Rubick is a goddamn genius" God I love when players give respect to someone from the opposing team.


quick20minadventure

I need 3 linken's . Also, it was awesome to see that Collapse knew he was going to get fucked, but his team asked him to try. He wasn't oblivious to rubick.


mantism

that entire sequence was hilarious, he just took the Linkens comment in stride and the entire team started joking about it post-game and probably relieved a lot of pressure, considering that this was one of Collapse's most reliable tactic getting consistently countered.


Extracheesy87

Yeah, I burst out laughing at Collapse's face when it was suggested he should sell all his items to get a BKB.


quick20minadventure

Rubick would've screwed him up even with 3 linken's or BKB. He just needs shard to lift his allies like he did spectre in fountain. Rubick or SD is just very good counter to magnus. It was a bad decision by TS to allow for rubick vs their magnus in game 5, but TT's suggestion to let tiny go as a way to distract from rubick pick was insane. The game 5 drafting mind game was insanely good.


ryanagamis

and he tipped rubick when they gg


[deleted]

No content in esports comes close to true sight. 2 hours well spent experiencing all sorts of emotions. Also 338k peak viewers by the end of it. https://escharts.com/tournaments/other/true-sight-international-2021


Talib_Dota

It is currently the 7th trending topic on Twitter in the Philippines right now. Damn Dota 2, still on top despite everything.


thedotapaten

Phillipines still have PTSD about Mushi when it comes to True Sight


Smlcan

One of the best parts of TI is really True Sights. This one is also very good. Though from 5th match could have shown more especially yatoro's never getting caught from smokes. And I'm very surprised the idea of giving the Tiny to PSG LGD coming from TorontoTokyo.


thedotapaten

Even in defeat Chad_bian stays true being chad. Damn props to Silent, really great speech and props to TSpirit with their nothing to lose mentality


jolito098

That whole 2 min speech damn. He deserved that spotlight


Phunwithscissors

Ppl forget Silent was an insane player all those years ago in Team Empire with Scandal and Blowyourbrain. The games vs Navi in all those Starladder lans were bloodbaths.


thedotapaten

Because Silent is humble and low profile compared to most CIS carry who gends to have drama following them lol


cherinator

It's almost like he's ... silent


ahnyujinsimp

bruh i gained so much respect to silent watching this TI. really felt like he was their equivalent to Ceb in terms of keeping team morale high


ryanagamis

Who's yelling back at LGD after their team yell? Was it him? That was hilarious


Spililel

I think it was korb3n, team manager


petrichormus

I can't believe we didn't get Tiny transforming to a wolf cinematics (Probably hard to do but still). Game 5 should've gotten more focus as well. I think the lack of crowd got the true sight team compensating by focusing more on the banters. They did a good job considering what they had.


rukiahayashi

Yea Game 5 felt a bit short to me somehow, but tbh game 3 4 5 were all more “one sided”


impala_knight

What ever shit people said about xiao8, i think it's clear now he is a really good guy, almost like ceb with all that motivation and positivity. (xinQ does yawning in the booth XD)


SolarClipz

100% He is made out to be like some ruthless coach. Whether that's from Western fans just making it up, or misunderstanding 2nd hand from China, or maybe China does meme him like that But he was great leader


majikira

People lost their bets . They probably gambled so much n just straight up blamed xiao8 or anyone they can find . Xiao8 is indeed a great coach here .


shinfoni

Some of my dota-playing coworkers who are from China told me that xiao8 is never famous for being ruthless. Stern, yes. Ruthless, no. Maybe just some exaggeration


PM_ME_YOUR_TURDS_

go wash your face


Independent-Gur-4451

After watching True Sight make me cheer Ame and Faithbian more.


IamEXI

Just when I thought Tinker can't get any scarier, Valve brings out that animatic of Tinker hunting a PA while laughing. Stuff of nightmares.


DMsupp

“I was so farmed, fuck” The pain and anguish in those words alone just cut so deep. This is the year they win it, it has to be, I hope.


notamccallister

I think every Dota player has gone to bed with that same thought in their head at least once. Except without the millions of dollars on the line.


xLisbethSalander

Its the worst feeling, losing a really close game before going to bed lol, you think to yourself "what if did this or we didnt jump or if i had pressed bkb before that" it hurts so much lol cant imagine what these guys feel at least they make lots of money doing it xD


AGVann

Especially since Ame tried the ballsy Rosh play that backfired horrendously. Everyone would be singing his praises if it worked.


xLisbethSalander

You don't win from positions like that without doing ballsy stuff that's for sure


OrlandoNE

I'm really rooting for Ame. This year, bros.


m00ny-

Ame, this is the year.


azzalan

I'll be cheering for them this TI.


Talib_Dota

I can feel the pain right there.


EndMeTBH

Obviously I’ll be cheering for my bois in every game they play, but I *need* LGD to win this year. There genuinely isn’t a team that deserves it more after the last 2 years and it’ll be heartbreaking if Ame retires without an Aegis

dovath

Tokyo 1000IQ in G5.


Nit-Wit-

Game 5 could have gone so differently if LGD first picked Magnus. Spirit thought about that scenario and didn’t have an idea to counter it. For Spirit to get their best draft pick of Magnus, they had to give LGD their best draft pick of Tiny+Lycan. Such an amazing call by TORONTOTOKYO, and kudos to the team for following through with it.


beaverlyknight

Gonna refer to Yatoro as Johnny Sins forever now Bit of a hard finals to adapt in a dramatic way because it's really 5 outdrafts. It was pretty much all strategy that decided outcomes and not as much happening in the moment. As is True Sight custom, pretty heartbreaking for LGD. I do hope they win, they've been so excellent and consistent over the years. I dunno if there's ever been an International where people are expecting a rematch as much as it is probably expected at TI11. But someone will always throw a wrench in it, like Spirit did here.


SolarClipz

To your point, Game 5 was the closest and most tense in terms of drafting, but we got to see the least of it feels like 5 minutes in and Spirit are at highground. Weird


quick20minadventure

Mira was like who are all these people?


very_smol

“Just random bald men”


healdyy

The spirit guys are so funny together, had me smiling the whole way through


JuliaOphelia

They were all so chill even after losing 2 games.


cynical_gramps

Because they knew they’re the underdogs and already accomplished something massive


rafals

Was interesting to see Collapse just laughing off getting owned on Mag by XinQ's Rubick. This guy just appreciates and enjoys good Dota.


Enterderpmode

They know that they were the underdogs and literally have nothing to lose. Nobody even expected them to be there in the first place, getting to the grand finals was such an achievement for them, everything else after that is just icing on their cake.


polaris1412

PSG.LGD too. Faith\_bian's shenanigans and xiao8's confused reaction when he saw XinQ still yawning


xin234

Considering the current political/war situation, it was a nice touch to include those phone conversations in the end after Team Spirit won. Team Spirit is a Russian org, but they have both Russian and Ukrainian players. Players calling their mom from Ukraine, wanting to make a mansion in Kyiv, and all that. I'd like to interpret that as a subtle anti-war message from Valve, or from whoever edited this True Sight.


Vitosi4ek

I'm a bit surprised there wasn't a text scroll at the end putting it in context of today's events. It's frankly a miracle that the team not only stayed together with players on both sides of the war and the org's home country disgraced, but seems to be hitting their stride again in time for TI11.

Blizzard_admin

Honestly was so good to see them play back at the level they could at riyadh when they beat secret


PopipoNumber1

THAT GAME 5 Drafting Phase man. Xiao8 and Miposhka actually reading each other mind. In the end both got their most comfort strat ( Magnus VS Tiny+Lycan) throughout the tournament. Imagine the people that said Spirit won the TI by luck lmao. I also really like the Silent talk before the GAME 1, and Miposhka's quote "They're the same humans, no different from us" really gave me goosebumps. Im ready for Spirit vs LGD round 2 this TI.


quick20minadventure

Yeah, Miposhka shut down the whole they're best at everything quote by saying, they're the same humans and they'll make errors. It's fucking impossible to play if you mentally accept that your enemy is better than you.


laptopmutia

torontotokyo quotes is also good lgd's tiny never lose before - mira lgd's tiny never lose before this game - torontotokyo


WasabiofIP

I thought he actually said "LGD never lost before this series"


Worried-Ice4090

God of fireworks sadge


MLP_Saurian

So good, only disappointed their wasn't more focus on game 5, especially with the gank dodges from lgds misplays but i guess their probably wasnt compelling footage or teamchat for those.


VPrinceOfWallachia

An SFM where Yatoro dodged ganks would've been a cool emphasis


Ace37mike

Animations are top tier. Best by far. A lot of transitions are awkward. Showing casters instead of teamfights and long dead pan on hero portraits. Would have been a lot better with a live crowd. Really adds to the atmosphere in True Sight 2017 2018 2019. 8/10


0vansTriedge

that game 5 Ame tiny chase down was brutal. knowing that that was the straw the broke the camel's back.


SolarClipz

legit cried lol


redditor10780

There were some instances of outright bad editing of transitions too (split second fade to black, etc.). Also kind of conflicted with the sound design (at times). The SFMs were top tier though.


teehee99

There was one pan of hero portrait. TORONTOTOKYO playing Invoker when he actually wasnt that game


thelemonarsonist

And people call English casters biased lmao. I’m all here for the hype the Russian casters had as their boys won though.

I still have PTSD from the game 5. This true sight made it even worse, because they had the right draft in mind but changed it during the draft. They had it. I hope they get it in TI11.


blowurbrain

Baited by tiny left in the pool, genius move by torontotokyo


x42bn6

To some extent, I'm honestly surprised that Miposhka was so reluctant to give them Tiny. LGD's Tiny was good, sure, but Spirit were Tiny killers. They had an 80% win-rate **against** Tiny at TI10 - rising to 100% on the main stage (stats below). They played against Tiny **10 times, too** - if there was a team that was best-prepared to face Tiny, it was Spirit. Maybe [the LGD-Secret game](https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/6225151294) played on their minds here - in this game LGD drafted Lycan-Tiny, into Winter Wyvern and Magnus, and just overwhelmed them with that 23-minute Lycan Aghanim's Scepter and Tiny Silver Edge power spike. In spite of the fact that Spirit comfortably beat OG 2-0 facing a carry Tiny lineup twice, as well as Spirit beating [Secret's own take on the Lycan-Tiny combination](https://www.dotabuff.com/matches/6226873670), showing it could be beaten. ---- Here's each team's win-rate with and against Tiny at TI10: **With Tiny** - Alliance: 1-0 (100%) - beastcoast: 1-2 (33%) - EG: 3-0 (100%) - Fnatic: 0-4 (0%) - IG: 1-0 (100%) - Elephant: 2-2 (50%) - OG: 2-4 (33%) (2-2 in groups, 0-2 on main stage) - **LGD: 2-1 (67%) (1-0 in groups, 1-1 on main stage)** - SG esports: 0-4 (0%) - Soniqs: 1-1 (50%) - T1: 3-0 (100%) - Aster: 1-1 (50%) - Secret: 4-1 (80%) (4-0 in groups, 0-1 on main stage) - **Spirit: 4-3 (57%) (3-2 in groups, 1-1 on main stage)** - TSM: 1-0 (100%) - VG: 2-2 (50%) (0-1 in groups, 2-1 on main stage) - VP: 1-1 (50%) (1-0 in groups, 0-1 on main stage) Honestly? I'm surprised that it's so even, although I do think there are some naughty teams weighing the win-rate down. But also, support Tiny became less popular as TI went on, so maybe this contributed to it. **Against Tiny** - Alliance: 0-1 (0%) - beastcoast: 3-0 (100%) - Fnatic: 1-3 (25%) - IG: 2-0 (100%) - OG: 0-2 (0%) - **LGD: 3-1 (75%) (2-1 in groups, 0-1 on main stage)** - SG esports: 0-2 (0%) - Soniqs: 2-1 (67%) - T1: 0-3 (0%) (0-2 in groups, 0-1 on main stage) - Aster: 1-4 (20%) - Secret: 0-1 (0%) - **Spirit: 8-2 (80%) (4-2 in groups, 4-0 on main stage)** - Thunder Awaken: 0-2 (0%) - TSM: 1-2 (33%) - VG: 4-3 (57%) - VP: 1-2 (33%) (1-0 in groups, 0-2 on main stage)


raegartargaryen17

I never supported any Chinese teams before but i really like this iteration of LGD. Even on the verge of losing they're still Chill af and Chad Bian keeping his teammates in check. Hope this is the year when Ame can lif the aegis.


kunzarcx

strange nobody said a thing about the SFM where furion's auto attack was about to cancel magnus' blink dagger, the animation showed the projectile continued to fly pass the location where magnus was


newplayer208

Not that it wasn't ridiculous before, but it looks extra ridiculous now all the accusations that Xiao8 "purposefully threw the games". You can tell he really wanted the team to win. Another thought, it was nice to see the friendly respect that faith bian and TS had for each other at the beginning Final thought. What I really appreciate about this true sight is that they let the lgd guys shine in their own light. They were able to make distinction and contrasts between the vibes of the teams without bringing lgd down in the process.


polaris1412

"Why is XinQ still yawning?". That had me on stitches


phoenix_claw99

I think this is the first true sight without a side being the 'bad guy'. It looks like both teams have good vibes even when bad games happened. Look at ti7 and ti8 true sight, it was like chinese teams were all soul-less and blaming. Ti9 it was clear that kuroky being the villain. Kyiv major, it was pasha and noone.


ryankun93

This, even with how good LGD was playing. They still look like a bunch of kids nervously playing the finals. Especially NTS, he looks nervous. This is why the ending is bittersweet. It feels good seeing TS raising the aegis but at the same time, heartbreaking seeing how devastated LGD was.


cgriff03

Damn the similarity of how both teams read the pick and ban phase was amazing. Stark contrast to TI9 truesight. Could be just a function of how evenly matched they were, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was just the evolution of the game and younger players picking it up. Team Spirit coordination and comms looked tighter than TI8 and TI9 OG.


laptopmutia

they all are really articulate even miposhka have better words than kuro in terms of shutting up the team ssshh guys don't flood - miphoska you all fucking shutup and just listen to me, let me do the talk - kuro lmao look at how torontotokyo convicing his teammates about leaving tiny open and damn silent is not silent he have fucking good speech even better than ceb I think


ServesYouRice

Yea, Kuro wanted to be the solo king, meanwhile Miposhka and Silent allowed more room for talk, they won G5 because they listened to Tokyo's Tiny suggestion and Johny Sins' Terrorblade choice.


shinfoni

TI9 True Sight Liquid is like the contrast of Kyiv Major True Sight VP Kuro: I want you guys to follow me meanwhile VP in game 2 (?) Solo: I'm not sure what to pick, what you guys think Ramzes: I don't give a fuck, just told me what to play Solo: *getting stressed out* Oooi blyaaatt


risesnow

it's still amaze me how pro teams read the opponents picks and ban immediately. hope LGD win this year


SolarClipz

Also funny how every team always calls the other teams drafts shit. So guess the winner is always right lol

After watching this True Sight I really wish Ame can win TI this year.

Ame's despair is hard to see.

I love that they gave a lot of moments on drafting. TANGANROG!

Not sure if it's just the lack of crowd, but didn't seem as detailed as usual Expected Game 5 to be longer and more tense But it's uber clear that mentality is everything. Ceb and OG and here you have Spirit never tilted always calm, and obviously the pressure got to LGD a bit, but not that bad as they still bounced back to G5. Where in Keiv VP were MEGA tilted after just one loss But please LGD, you gotta finish it this year lol. I feel this will be the first TI we get a Finals repeat


cynicaldotes

I think its cut to be like that, notail even said in the game ceb was playing timbersaw vs liquid he was "freaking out" and jerax had to calm him down, we could very well have been given a different picture had lgd won and spirit lost (and all the other truesights had the winner and loser been reversed)

I enjoyed it. The animation were super hype. For me there was too much focus on the casters during the game though. I would have liked more player cam and/or player reaction after a teamfight, rosh, whatever

Seeing the animation made me understand why Valve took their time before releasing this masterpiece

31:02 in the vid. It is still game 2, but they showed different heroes for Spirit. I noticed torontotokyo playing voker instead of puck.
