Lol at the whiners and complainers from fanbois.

TI3 delivering the best entertaining dota ever and people complaining about winners bracket not having advantage?

Jeeeez, even when you get all the greatest cheese in the world, you complain the platter wasn't in gold.

Instead of whining about Navi, China, Alliance, Pudge or the format can we please go back to fucking enjoying TI3? -__-

I think they realize some people might watch the grand final or at least only the last day so these recaps are good to inform them of the whole storyline.

Do the people in TV6 see this also? or they just observe through the game and have their own production


Why does it have to be delayed for so long though. It's already early Monday morning in Europe which hey is where these teams are from lol.

Because no matter what team it is, they're not gonna play their best if they have to play another bo5 immediately after an intense bo3 for the biggest tournament of the year.

Yeah, they shouldn't be too sad about their 7-8th place in their first ever International. I mean, that's better than 99.999999% of all dota players

I think its better than most would have predicted before the group stages.

I was impressed.

Yeah, they had some great play. Unfortunately it couldn't go all the way

No one really expected them to do that well.
It was amazing to see Fnatic play so good. Just wished they would have picked meepo at least once.
If you have unique advantages in your team, you should use them. It worked for Na'Vi with pudge and Dk with Antimage.

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.




Is this serious?

Yeah, they didn't get a 1-0 advantage, they got a 2-0 advantage. 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.

Yeah, a team with a 9-5 record (lets not count the tiebreaker) was in the exact same part of the bracket against a team with 14-0.

That team was seeded worse. 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.

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

Alliance should have been the top seed. 3 worst teams play vs the 3 best teams. You cannot be serious?

? I don't think you understand how this tournament works.

If Alliance went 14-0 in the qualifiers, they should have been the top seed for the bracket.

Was this not the case, then?


Though you're correct, I don't understand how this tournament works and how this format got through but whatever. It's only unfair if Na'Vi wins, and they won't.

Don't you know that the more pennants your team has, the higher their seed will be?

The WR draft cost them the game. Should have picked Slardar or another phys dps anti carry.

...? 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.

Except to actually WIN that lane against dendi the supports would have to stay bottom 100% of the early game and meanwhile enigma is farming fast as shit. Slardar will eventually get pushed out by the puck and the fear of enigma + nyx ganks.



Dendi had like 6/6 cs at 10 mins, I seriously doubt he could beat a Slardar 3 levels ahead of him. Not to mention Puppey was already rotating without any ganks from Orange because Lifestealer was getting raped middle.

Did you even watch the game? 6/6 and then he caught up and even tied 29/5 against windrunner because he had to back off because he didn't know where enigma/nyx were. The slardar can't trade harass with the puck either and has to overextend for cs later on. This is what happens to every offlane melee. Eventually they have to back out. Watch the liquid game where bulba was on naix.


Even if Slardar has to eventually back out, you cannot deny that Slardar will have a relatively good start, meaning he will be far more useful in this game than Windrunner would be. If you have a slightly farmed Slardar with a fast blink dagger on top of the early vaccums, I think it's an easy GG for Navi. Just the WR draft really didn't do much of anything outside of the early laning phase.

I think Orange's draft was fine - I've seen mushi outcarry bkb heroes / lifestealer with OD before.

They just didn't perform when it came down to it.

I just hope to see a Funn1k on a clinkz solo safe lane.
I think Na'Vi has a small chance as long as they stick to their style instead of Alliance's style.
