If you're ever played in a tournament you might be aware that it's a gigantic disadvantage to play vs #1 seed first instead of vs the #8 seed. | ||

They started in the upper bracket and other teams started in the lower bracket, the equivalent in the format of getting 2-0'd. There was a huge advantage to doing well in the prelims, it's really weird that you try to make it sound like there wasn't. That group stage is to pick 8 teams to be put in Upper Bracket and 8 teams to be put in Lower Bracket. This playoff is to put 2 teams in the Grand Finals and 14 teams to be eliminated. Between teams in the lower bracket, there is no score advantage despite some teams winning more than the others ( IG vs DK started 0-0 despite IG being 8-6 and DK 10-4). Therefore in the grand finals there should be no score advantage also. of course there are other non score advantages like being able to pick your opponents or being well rested and are able to save strats and analyze more of your opponents. | ||

Fu Ok, it's SEA. There are no pinoy dota teams though, so maybe everyone else should stop talking about teams that don't exist? | ||

How about the 3 teams who finished 8-6 and only 1 had to play against Na`vi, the top seed? | ||

Sure, who wouldn't. My point was that despite a long break, atleast they have some content other than what we've seen in numerous other tournaments. (in SC2 or Dota2) | ||

Nobody guarantees that a team with a spotless record in prelims is a huge favorite, just look at LGD last year. And by beating a high seed your part of the bracket opens up, as we witnessed this week in Montreal Masters (tennis). | ||
