Russian pronunciation.


It's actually HVOST without A. But close enough since tons of people can't pronounce it.

Doesnt upper bracket help you at all?

Nope, it was like that last 2 TIs, but not this one for some odd reason.

While an upper bracket advantage may be fairer in for the teams, having a completely neutral start is a better spectacle for the fans, rather than having a huge amount of hype for what could be just two games. Valve also greatly increased the percentage of the prizepool that second place receives which sort of balances it out.

You would make it a Bo7 with an advantage, not a Bo5 with an advantage... It generally always is +1 more game to win when you give an advantage.

That becomes an overwhelming advantage for the WB team, as LB has to play a potential 10 championship games consecutively. Little much.

Hum? 6 is max. Currently 5 is max.

My bad, 9; they have to play the losers finals first. It's not so bad when you take into consideration the +1 advantage I guess (only 1 more game), but it still seems a little crazy

With how much of a mental game DOTA is, and how exhausting playing TI must be, I think the current format is fine

Everybody always says Xboct is the weakest link but he's carried them so hard through both these games. He played so extremely well this game, being n01 farm with 3 alliance following him, so all the pressure was on him. He's a top carry without a doubt.



Hvost almost caused them to lose. I don't see how anyone can say that Hvost was the reason why they won when KKY the last game was the one catching S4 twice in key moments.

Kuroky probably made the clutch plays that won Na`Vi the game at the end but XBOCT definitely played well this game.



No. Def not. There were alot of key moments where Hvost almost lost them the game. He got bailed out massively by KKY and Dendi when he got caught a couple of times being way too aggressive as usual.

S4 just massively choked a couple of key moments.

He was supposed to make those super aggressive plays. He bought a Heart and an AC and knew he had the Wisp's overcharge to back him up, and he took advantage of it to pull off really aggressive plays that he wouldn't make otherwise.



So he goes charge into 5 people with only Wisp as support?

Did he die? No. It worked.

Because in the Russian alphabet (I know its not actually Russian but I cant remember what its called, its similar to greek) those letters make different sounds:
X = h sound
B = v sound
C = s sound

Kind of dumb if Navi wins 3-2. Because they give no advantage for being the winner of the upper bracket. Alliance would have lost 1 series but Navi would have lost 2. Their overall scores would still be in favor of Alliance but Navi would get the money.

its funny how they're just letting bat and wisp through the pool. banning lifestealer is understandable but why is s4 so afraid of na'vi on dark seer? puppey banning chen and naga is sorta obvious

it seems like na'vi have figured out they can ban out egm/akke's playmakers and then just pile on pressure until s4 crumbles

finals stress might be getting to him. there's no big break for him to pull something out like dreamhack right?

Loda gets the hero he can't carry with - that's the problem.
There was no need to go Mirana that game at all.


I think they thought Na'Vi would get Mirana so they took for itself. Also they have played it before.

I know, but is it that scary that you need to counterpick?
And they could get at least Lesh instead of Lina.
I think their strategy is to dumpster bad Western teams (c) uriel

What? There were 3 separate situations Xboct got caught because he's either overstaying his welcome or he had no map awareness. Xboct was the reason why Alliance even got back into the game after the massively failed tri-lane.
