Did you see the draft? handing over Wisp/Alch/Batrider. Laning Beastmaster vs Bat, Venomancer etc.

It's pretty obvious

No, it's not.

I like Alliance, but they believed in that lineup, and they couldn't execute. It's not their style.

However giving away both the wisp and batrider might be a bit arrogance, yeah.



Well I doubt Bruno is wrong. EG played Alliance with Bat Wisp using that Spectre, Veno team.

This is a case of Alliance not thinking through how that team is supposed to be played.

Yes when there's over a million dollars on the line it's completely rational to deliberately lose games.

They probably just thought they were so much better that they could beat Na'vi with a really terrible draft. Obviously you can't do that. Probably just overconfidence.

That EG money also came with the EG throws.

Lol at anyone who thinks either team would intentionally throw a game or do a "troll draft" with this amount of money on the line.

Well both teams surely had a plan coming into those games but it resulted in horrible stomps both times.


It really looked like [A] was trying to show they can give Navi those heroes and win. Almost like that game they lost to DK ('i will show you how to play Alche').

Anyway, goddamn it 3:1 zzzzzzzz -_-

The advantage is that they never had to face possible elimination and they didn't have to play as many games

Tbh, [A] deserve to win this. Also, I don't want to read 300 pages of discussion about "no winners bracket advantage" if Na'Vi take this 3-2.
