Aegis means OD cannot be focused first in a teamfight and guarantees he will get off an ult and dps even if he gets blown up right away or disabled, which is exactly what happened. The threat of aegis means Orange could actually push a rax with something to fall back and win the game.

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.

That's funny. You have claimed that Orange's advantage wasn't that big to begin with, which is arguable, but let's take your side for this moment. If NaVi weren't that far behind at all, than what makes this comeback great when your opponents just got unfortunately mindblocked after the loss of Aegis? Because it's NaVi?

...? And then the whole game fucking changes because they have to defensive trilane and/or babysit the slardar all game instead of roaming with their 2 supports which was a big reason why they got that early game advantage.

They had advantage in lanes from the start no matter what hero they ran, Lifestealer was gonna lose to OD and the tri-lane was gonna beat Dendi.

For those complaining about the format, the way to see it is this way.

The whole playoffs were not to pick the winner. It is to pick the top 2 teams who will play in a grand final. It's a 2 separate stage in the tournament.

So there are actually 3 stages in the tournament which is groupstage, playoff, grand finals.Each stage is separate.

Teams who did better in group stage didn't start with a 1-0 advantage in the playoff as well despite winning more games.

teams who did better were placed in the winner's practice, giving them an extra life in the tournament. teams who did not do well were placed in the loser's bracket, being eliminated after losing their next set

the aegis deny was only the beginning of the huge mistakes from orange. it led them to take unfavorable fights which would not have happened if they had the aegis.

You wouldn't say this if Alliance would come from the lower bracket.
I have never heard anyone liking the MLG extended series bullshit.

I'm rooting for alliance but I'm happy about the no game advantage. It makes for less exciting finals and I want alliance to win on equal terms.

typo?
