http://www.sitesworld.com/time/cest-to-sgt.html

you can add the match fixture for tonight already. starts at 21:00 hrs our time.

im suck on convert the time to local time , mind anyone tell me today’s match is what time ?

Use google, instant convert for u.

Want to ask if i watch it live without any pennants, can i get any drops?

I bought the compendium though

just minus 6 our time. tonight game starts at 10:00PM (2200 hrs). at 9:00PM there going to be a pre-match build up program by GD Studio.

just get your pennants ready. we might get our compendium couriers upgrades.

only 1 pennant can ? haha

Dont know which pennants to get

Any recommendations?

iG and Team Empire !!!

get all pennants laa. if you watch orange games, set to orange pennants. if you watch navi must have navi pennants active.

That's the thing...so many pennants to buy and no guarantee get drop

If get drops, what are the drops most likely to be?

Pennants does not guarantee drop.. Its just to show how many fans are there to support that team...

So even with pennants its the same as the rest of the ppl without one... The drops are random to all viewers...

Drops are similar items that drops in game but with tournament tags such as the player's nick with the event that trigger that drop (first blood, multi kills etc etc)

Huh? So no need pennant to be eligible for drops when view tournament?

Maybe. Or maybe no.

Last year's TI2, item drop was only eligible for those with pennants.

Post-TI2 tournaments (TD3/G1 league/etc etc), item drop was eligible for all viewers regardless of having pennants or not.

Valve still hasn't said anything whether the item drop will be available to all viewers or only for those with pennants (as is the case with TI2).

So for TI3, it might be the same as TI2... or it could be not.

why not support our own country lineup?? i knew european team are great but still we have our own hero right??

Yes dont need pennants to be able to get the drops... Every viewer has the chance for item drop... Unless they change the rule for TI3 la...

SOS

i suppok orange n hope they can get to BO 4 at least, but my bet on the Alliance to take the crown.

Im supporting iG all the way man... Orange and MUFC so far performance still unstable sometimes.. Its like syok syok they perform good syok syok throw game... Lol... China teams are more towards winning no matter what...

can't wait for giant killer this time as well.
will we c a 11-1 score in group stage again? (i think its d preliminary match )

More and more quality thread good job guys
If can put the qualifier schedule would be great can check gosugamers for update time

thats right , and i think you dont need pennant to evolve your courier also

Hopefully someone will be able to perform like LGD in TI2 14-0 until Navi sent them to losers bracket haha

how good if got a bar or someplace to watch this event together like watching football.

I'll be there everyday lol

so i bought the ticket aka compendium. but at "watch>tournament>TI3 qest quliafiers" still nothing. isnt game suppose to start 2/3 hours from now?

or the ticket/smeevil (progress) doesnt include from qualifiers?

Yea man... Wish for something like that as well. In the UK, there is such event organized by Cyborgmatt's friend... Guess no one in LYN who owns a bar plays dota 2.. haha


Until the game is hosted and started (Players in pick/ban phase) then only you can see the games under live games. As for recent games, there are none so basically its empty now until they finished the event today...
Im sure the progress for smeevil includes qualifiers as well.

Quoted from Cyborgmatt's blog

"Courier Upgrades

Similar to some of the previous tournament couriers, Smeevil will track the amount of International games you have watched and will upgrade the courier’s effect based on the amount of games you have watched. For those of you that won’t be able to catch the games live you will be able to watch the replays in order to increase your total games viewed count.

PS: Watching the qualifier games will also count to this view count."

So every game counts until the grand finals....



"As always Dota TV access for the International will be free and available to everyone who owns a copy of Dota 2 or the Dota 2 Spectator client however owners of the compendium will also have the opportunity to receive International 2013 item drops during live matches, these item drops will be active starting with the Western qualifiers and running all the way throughout the rest of the qualifiers and main tournament."


So I assume that only those who purchased the compendium only will be able to obtain item drops during live matches....

but dont go into the match thinking that u will get an item...normal tournament that requires ticket purchase = around 1k-3k plus viewer also very hard to get drops...imagine a quality tournament such as ti3 and its free....just watch and enjoy the quality matches from these top teams... because most drops comes when u dont expect it...

So basically its like this?

With Compendium
- chance to get items while watching
- can grow courier regardless watch live or replay

Without Compendium
- still get to watch games but no extra bonus

So with this, everyone can basically can also max out their courier because they can watch replays

Correct?

ya

no need pennants to get drop la

only need compendium.

last time pennants too cheap. people spam dupe account to get more item. now its up to compendium, not many people want to waste 10 usd just for dupe.

damm the prize pool jz hit 1.9m

by the time the event start i think easily 2.5m



pro gamers gettin richer

compendium comes with courier and battle bonus which can be traded for 3keys and 1 key sweets respectively...so its actually not that expensive for the compendium itself

wow....already 43k+ when the game just started....cant imagine how many will be for the main event...

Actually what i think is that $9.99 is not much of a deal for gamers in US or Europe....It's the currency onversion that makes the compendium price become ridiculously expensive for us malaysian ==

tonight at 10 PM guys

okay

rox.kis vs empire in 57mins time... Hmm seems delayed 1 hr...

aL going back home, see them next year in TI4?
