Falcons just barely the new favorite for #TI2025 after Spirit drops their second series today and both top Chinese surge ahead of the reigning champs, Team Liquid. Crazy first day!

Maybe the biggest group stage outset -> playoffs outset bump I've seen, Parivision really showing up at DreamLeague S25.

Day 2 of @DotaDiesel being stuck in the API sin bin for the UNFORGIVABLE crime of trying to send out 3 tweets per minute for 6 minutes. Too much on such a fragile infrastructure 😢

Seems that I've blown out the free daily allotment of tweeting via the API for @DotaDiesel. Back to manual posting. Weird that The Other Site didn't have any problem with the volume...

Since I've been tracking group stage projections, it's hard for me to think of a performance that smashed projections like Team Waska. They didn't get swept once, taking games off of teams like Falcons and Tundra. Probably my team to watch for the second groups at DreamLeague!

DreamLeague S24, Group B outcomes: @TeamFalconsGG: 12 wins (+2.39) @TundraEsports: 10 wins (+1.14) Team Waska: 10 wins (+4.23) @Team__Spirit: 9 wins (+1.60) @TALON_ESPORTS: 6 wins (-0.14) @AzureRayDota: 5 wins (-0.60) @heroicgg: 3 wins (-5.46) Palianytsia: 1 win (-3.15)

This is about as close as it gets for a grand finals, and after that LB finals? I'm AMPED for this. #TI13

Team Zero is my team to watch this #TI13. Lowest rated team by @DotaDiesel going into groups and then utterly pops off, over performing their initial projection from maaaaybe two wins to a group lead tying FOUR. Crazy stuff

Diesel Engine@DotaDiesel

@TeamFalconsGG @BetBoomTeam @nounsesports @Team__Spirit @TeamLiquid @AuroraDota2_GG @beastcoast #TI13 Group C & D outcomes: @TeamFalconsGG: 4 wins (-0.12) Team Zero: 4 wins (+2.26) @BetBoomTeam: 2 wins (-1.22) @nounsesports: 2 wins (-0.93) ------ @Team__Spirit: 6 wins (+2.18) @TeamLiquid: 4 wins (+0.53) @AuroraDota2_GG: 2 wins (-0.81) @beastcoast: 0 wins (-1.89)

Pound for pound maybe the most even, high-rated pair of teams in a finals outside of TI? I'll have to check the records but this BO5 is going to be nuts.

Diesel Engine@DotaDiesel

(MATCH) Fissure Universe E3 finals: @Team__Spirit vs. @TeamFalconsGG Team Spirit win: 50.28% Team Falcons win: 49.72% 3-0: 15.93% :: 15.69% 3-1: 18.67% :: 18.49% 3-2: 15.67% :: 15.55%

Pretty much as dead even as a finals day can be for these three teams, all RIGHT before TI. Gonna be a huge day for great dotes!

Diesel Engine@DotaDiesel

Fissure Universe E3 win chance, pre-finals day: @Team__Spirit: 48.86% (+29.54) @TeamFalconsGG: 26.82% (+4.82) @TundraEsports: 24.32% (-6.47)

@TLOgg What are your opinions of the current Dota competitive landscape? ESL/DreamLeague being one tentpole w/no DPC, but also events like Elite League, PGL's tourneys, Blast getting in on the action next year, etc?

40% market share of an industry within a couple of years is quick! The prospect of esports being predominantly owned by a single government may not lead to innovation and progress. My hope is a healthy, competitive, market can be maintained.

Eli Tan@elitanjourno

NEW: Saudi Arabia has invested billions of dollars in the video game industry, and now owns 40% of the esports market share. Critics have called it “games washing,” but as Saudi money becomes ubiquitous, avoiding it has become increasingly difficult.

Loved the experience but man, solo casting Dota for 6 hours was exhausting. Thinking about old @DakotaCox and @Bkop92 night casts and can't help but feel a newfound respect.

Razor thin advantage for @1winesports in the EEU TI13 qualifier finals, bound to be a killer set!

Audio issues aside, DAMN it felt good to be casting again. Did you know @DotaUnderlords shares a world with another Valve game, @DOTA2? Had a blast casting the opening week of the Midwest Dota 2 League in person with little bro.
