The third day of The International 2018 group stage ended with Team Liquid standing tall after overwhelmingly defeating Evil Geniuses. Despite a rough start, losing the game to Fnatic, Invictus Gaming, and others, Liquid proved to be still the TI7 champion. Liquid were the first team to defeat EG and we also saw the excellent Invoker from Amher ‘Miracle-‘ Al-Barkawi.

The win puts Liquid in the same place as EG, and also confirms a spot in the main event’s winning bracket – with only one final series left to play on day four in Group A.
What’s happening in Group A
Winstrike entered TI8 hoping their roster would last – but unfortunately, the CIS boys were in a tough group with the likes of PSG.LGD, Liquid, EG, Fnatic, etc. Despite the team getting one They won 2-0 on day one, but it wasn’t until day three that they won another game, against Fnatic.

Winstrike aren’t the only team to suffer in Group A as IG, Mineski and VGJ.Thunder are in a similar situation – however Mineski and Thunder have already started a few wins – helping to keep their hopes alive. main case. Mineski is the only team that has played all the matches in Group A that will enter the loser bracket with a 5-9 record from the group stage.
OG is another team that started poorly, but slowly dropped out of the bottom group. A draw against Fnatic, then a win over iG and Thunder will give them a chance to enter the winning bracket on the final day of the group stage.
Absolutely magnificent run by @OGesportswho go 5-1 and end the day top 4 in Group A. With their final series tomorrow against 3-11 Winstrike, they have a great chance at a #TI8 upper bracket spot.

Ranking of teams in Group A after the first day of competition
The final day of Group A has only 4 series left to play before we know who will be the first to leave at TI8. Let’s take a look at PSG.LGD’s Ame eating TRIPLE RAMPAGE with Bloodseeker.
Moving to Group B, VGJ.Storm is winning overwhelmingly and taking the top spot of Group B at TI8.
Group B this time is quite interesting, in addition to VGJ.Storm playing sweeping – with the same record as Evil Geniuses, until Newbee equalized 1-1 in the last series of the day. However, Storm did great and although their opponent will be Virtus.pro on the final day, Resolution’s team has shown that they are hungry for the Ti Aegis shield.
That does it for Storm today.
The finish 1-1 against @newbeecn but have secured their spot in the upper bracket.
They will continue their group stage games tomorrow vs @virtuspro and Serenity! pic.twitter.com/nORU037vXZ

But at the end of the day, that match won’t matter anymore, other than being seeded at the top of the group, VGJ.Storm is already in the winning bracket, along with EG in the other group.

Newbee’s draw helped them escape from the bottom group. This result also puts OpTic in a difficult situation. The North American boys performed badly since drawing with Team Serenity, before being overwhelmed by Team Secret. This forced OpTic to beat ViCi Gaming and paiN Gaming on the last day to avoid being eliminated at TI8.
We take the win over @OpTicGamingGGWP! #SecretDota head into the last day of the Group Stage at #TI8 with the score of 6-6!! #SecretFighting pic.twitter.com/UP3Kakmg4R

Notably, paiN Gaming did not perform too badly in the TI round. The excellent control tavo Pangolier helped the team equalize VP.
PangOOOOOOH!!!: @tavodota turns in a performance for the ages on Pangolier- 35k hero damage is second to only NoOne’s TA, and in on a team high 31/35 kills to earn @paiNGamingBR a 1-1 split vs VP! #TI8 pic.twitter.com/Pby9sJS5aY
