Loda draft was... weird, it could work against other non-top tier teams, but come on, against NaVi ?

1st draft = 1 Stun against Bane, Timber and Storm, pretty much free full time grip for Bane (and it was a last pick Bane)
2nd draft = Puppey countered their tactic with the Treant pick
3rd draft = after BKB... they had no plan

meh, they didnt play THAT bad (Besides s4 stupidly walking and trying to skrewed Xboct... and he gets eclipsed to death) but everything was pretty much decided in the draft, Puppey just destroyed Loda in that regard

Its easier to critisize after the battle is over, isn't it? If Alliance would've won, everyone would go omg puppey got outpicked.

So how did this DE work in the finals? The bracket says 1-0 to alliance first round, and 0-3 to navi second round (finals). Did navi win 5 games in total or what am I missing? my understanding in DE is that winnerbracket winner only has to win 1 of 2 BO3s, while loserbracket winner has to win both? In this case the result numbers seem off?
Help?
/Kim


Alliance had a 1 game advantage in a bo5. I agree the bracket makes it look a little odd though. Essentially Alliance needed 2 wins and Na'Vi needed 3 to win.


Hmm. Ok, thought it was like losing in winners, a 1 game lead is not like getting a second try really. But thanks for explaining!.

I think you have not watched The International :D


I did, never contemplated over the system tho!

I see you are new to dota because you should know if NaVi would have lost the community would blame xboct in first place. Than start blaming Kuroky too if the pure power of "xboct's fault" does not work or (ofc they are) "xboct fanboys" counter it.

ps: but we should keep in mind that tournaments outside of TI are the best way to practise new things. Ofc teams have tournaments they really want to win and others that do not really matter. Its kind of natural that for NaVi the star series is a big deal because of the location. Ofc teams are taking it serious. I saw Alliance trying something out, did not work and tried to pick as save as possible and still got destroyed.

In the end the 3 uncontested roshan give aways could be an interesting topic do discuss. It could be a big demonstration of dominance by NaVi for example.

The ones that Na`Vi didn't win they both did not attend as well.

Which means PeeGeeGee is the undisputed only victor of Starladder over Na`Vi?

He is. I still remember one of the games. PGG got a dd rune on prophet super early (maybe minute 0, not sure), teleported to a lane and got a triple kill with it, or something.
