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)

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

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...

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

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....

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

Maybe disband after this? Haha.. Still long way to go.. Havent even reach TI3 yet
