They both lost one series in the knock out rounds, N'avi played a game more (punishment for losing winners final), the series Alliance lost was the BO5 grand final. Simple. I personally prefer true double elimination but people seem to hate the idea of that in a final for some reason so here we are. | ||

I imagine a decent amount of people will watch the games later and might not want them spoiled... Yeah, it is standard practice here. For the people who don't want things spoiled, they can check the appropriately named "Hide Spoilers" box. | ||

Na'Vi on the other hand understands the patch much more I feel! Things will probably change over the course of the year as Alliance figures out what kind of playstyle they wanna go for in the new metagame. Actually, XBOCT was running around like a chicken with its head cut off on Pugna until the finals came up. They did a whole bunch of random shit through D2L, D2CL, etc., to be perfectly honest. It's just that they managed to find out that most of the good heroes are still good and Kuro Shadow Shaman likes to zap/shackle people from max range for ez kills, as well as Xboct Medusa ult being pretty good. Nothing special. Alliance was fucking great before this series...everything pretty much was dependent on how comfortable the players felt on their heroes within the drafts I think. | ||

I personally prefer true double elimination but people seem to hate the idea of that in a final for some reason so here we are. Its a bit funny how phrasing changes some things. I would say Na'vi had the chance of getting into the finals due to an extra game. It wasnt a punishment at all. After all they LOST to A, didnt they? And saying they both lost one game so its equal is kinda funny,too. Coz one is first and the other one is second ;-) Dont get me wrong. I dont like extended series but a winners advantage should exsist in an dubble elimination system. | ||

The idea for Doble elimination bracket is that you can loose a match and still win a tournament. But in this bizarre scenario the only team that is denied this privilege is winners bracket winner. That's hardly fair. On paper It almost looks like navi is losing this upper bracket finals on purpose to check how alliance is currently playing and prepare for the final. | ||
