Single Elimination its how tournaments should be played tho

its much more fun, and brings this kind of "shocks" to the game.

Single elimination is good if we got b05's series otherwise I'd rather have a double elim

You can. In an 8 team tournament, you can run it in 4 days. 2 series each for first 2 days (max 10 games), both semis on 3rd day (max 10games), then bo7 for finals. Consider if how tournaments now are all risking max 12 games by scheduling 4 bo3 in a day, this schedule is even less taxing.

I don't really like single elim because it feels like some teams get bounced out of the tournament in last place just because of who they got seeded against in the first round. Obviously the best team will still win, but it feels like double elimination gives a better best-to-worst ranking of the teams in the tournament.
No dough, no go. And no mercy.

Right and also with the amount of prize pool money that is being given out by these tournaments, it's a more fair distribution of funds if it's double elimination.

Err you can have all b05's for playoffs.

That actually happened before. Both summit 2 and Game24 Season 1, granted game24 only had 4 teams but the summit 2 playoffs had b05's and it works.

but single elimination is that bad in dota because there's alot of one trick pony teams and adapting + countering strategy is actually a thing. B05 most likely ensures the better teams win even if it's single elimination.

The double elim is just so much better than b03 single elim, one trick pony teams are gonna own often in single elims but at least with b05 the weaker team almost never wins.

Yeah, teams can just cheese BO3 single elims, I don't like those for Dota at all
Why are my allies so weak and pathetic?

I mean if they won they deserve it for sure even if it's supposedly cheese but a b05 or double elim should give the more stable teams chances.

If they lose twice then the other team is just better than them or at least they can't deal with that teams playstyle. Regardless that tournament the other team is just better.

If you lose 3 times to a one trick pony team, you deserve to lose. First time it was oooo cheese. Second time it was a hmm maybe I can't beat the cheese. Third time is hey I'm just being stubborn.

I just saw the tweet about misery also. Most people would think zai, things is... Will he be done with school in time to integrate with the team for upcoming tournaments?? And if it's not zai, who could be the replacement???

zai doesn't make sense, he said recently in an interview (goody posted it in the EG thread) that he wasn't going to play at the Manila Major because school, and thus likely wouldn't be at TI either because of roster locks. Unless they are going to sacrifice everything up until that point to have a better chance at TI6 (since let's be honest, zai > misery), which I suppose is possible but we'll see
