I love this game.

Game 2 and 3 were more what I expected from Nigma, if I am to be completely honest. Wonky drafts by Kuro and getting outplayed by Yandex. They still put up a good showing and that desperate hold in game 3 at the end was fun to watch, but Yandex are too good for them. Better map play and macro, cleaner draft, higher technical skill. CJ is a mean invoker (much higher impact than Larl earlier) and Watson is trying to show the gap between him and Yatoro and Satanic is less than you'd think.

I'm still impressed by Nigma this tournament and hope they at least get to overcome their nemesis BB in the lower bracket.

I haven't been following dota2 much lately, but this game3 between liquid and falcons makes dota feel like it did 5 years ago. Love seeing how liquid adapted their draft (I don't think void is meta anymore) and the fights are off the hook!

Finally teams have realized that you have to first ban Bounty Hunter. Took them long enough.
