Apparently the math on liquipeida was wrong and outsiders were 1 point less than fnatic https://www.dota2.com/esports/ti11/tistandings | ||

"Real" Math (what probably Liquipedia did): First points + First Penalty: (198/100)*85 = 168,3 +20 = 188,3 again penalty (188,3/100)*85 = 160,055 +500 + 360 = 1020,055 "Integer" Math (Valve?): First points + First Penalty: (198/100)*85 = 168 +20 = 188 again penalty (188/100)*85 = 159 +500 + 360 = 1019 The "159" is crazy. because "actual" it would be 159,8. "normal" rounding would be 160, making it that Outsiders get 1020 in the end and be tied! Are outsiders taking it like that? | ||

Ana wanted to play obviously and Topson also wanted to but his new family is in Kuala Lumpur so he finds it convenient playing for SEA team | ||

I'm having trouble believing nobody noticed/clarified this before the major, that's the weirdest thing to me. | ||

Yeah liquipedia is usually pretty good about being correct in terms of tournaments and all that. Suppose that nobody did their due diligence because they didn't think it would come down to 1 point or 0.05 points. At the end of the day, outsiders needed to win and they didn't. The real story here is that beastcoast are the heroes of NA and SEA hahahaha | ||

Yeah i don't think Ana is like in his form or peak either. Nor is he in a team that fits him well (well maybe idk we have to see T1) But i just like watching him play. Topson tho i have more hopes since that dude never stopped grinding | ||
