Anyone could've made that mistake, but kyxy is going to get the shitstorm because he was the one unlucky enough to do it. Sucks. No other way to put it. Fucking. Sucks. | ||

Plus it's called double-elimination for a reason, so that everyone can lose once and still stay in the tournament I've tried to give this explanation in the past because people whine a lot, but the advantage is in having to play another series. Also, the tournament goes in stages. There's prelims, there's playoffs, and then there's finals. Up to that point it doesn't matter what your record is as long as you reach the finals. You can go 0-14 in group stages and make it to the grand finals. Is that more or less fair than a team being "eliminated" before grand finals and being even when you play the match? Not really. | ||

Alliance, which are almost invincible + winner bracket advantage. Dear god. | ||

It was a great comeback. Orange fucked up, Na'vi took advantage and pressed it. That's how games are won. When someone fumbles in football and it leads to a turn around, you don't say that its not a comeback. It was a great comeback. | ||

I've seen way too many disappointing sc2 finals because of Winner's Advantage. | ||

The deny was definitely unfortunate, but Na'Vi showed greater composure and deserve it. Aegis is the best counter to BKBs. You heard what puppey said, focus the OD and the bane, ignore everyone else even if they get kills. What happens when OD has aegis and you blow your ults and BKBs on his first life? He comes back, ults your team, kills 2 or 3 of them, mops up the rest and takes your rax. OJ could have used their earlygame advantage gained by poor play by Na'vi and taken high ground with the aegis, but yeah. Missing the aegis means missing the timing push, which is the backbone of Orange's strategy and really crucial due to Navi's better lategame draft. Na'vi didn't do anything extraordinary to win, not like the epic fountain hooks against Tongfu, and even failed hard early game. This game is a pure throw by Orange, and the band of Navi fanboys denying this just shows that most of them don't know jack about dota and just like Navi because Dendi picks pudge once in a while. + Show Spoiler + Man I miss LightofHeaven | ||

Orange had one damage dealer and everyone on Na'Vi were getting BKB's and frankly he was losing steam. Na'Vi had an overall better lineup and the gap wasn't that big to begin with. The aegis was embarrassing but it wouldn't have made a huge difference. Maybe one more half of a teamfight would have been in their favor. EDIT: KACI PLS ignore darkseid, every since this ti started he has been flaming na'vi and calling everyone who defends them a fanboy | ||
