It's a double elim bracket, but the UB winners are at an disadvantage because they don't get that "free loss" the LB winners get. Should have been one game up from the start or something. Some people have been upset with it since 2011. It's now a feature. It won't get removed. How many times do I have to repeat it's not a feature. It was left in due to 'hilarity' factor. Hilarity doesn't mean it isn't bugged. If it was a feature it wouldn't have been banned in the grand finals. On August 13 2013 01:28 Numy wrote: He carried them hard in the Orange series too. His Naix destroyed. For every game Hvost carried hard (which wasn't only due to him) there were many games that he got completely bailed out by his team due to his utterly aggressive play that put them in a terrible position. There were various times he completely disregarded Puppey's calls and strategies. Read some of the post match interviews or watch some of the videos. The one game where they were losing against Tongfu (fountain hooking game) was Hvost completely disregarding Puppey's call to avoid the tri-lane and farm top. I honestly believe that there were various times when Hvost was off, he was really dragging the team down and almost put them in a terrible position. Had it not been for some huge plays from his team, they probably get eliminated in most cases. Hvost certainly played better than he usually does (last TI he was almost a joke), but calling two of his teammates idiots is pretty bad. | ||

Also you have to repeat it until you realize you are not correct lol. | ||

It wasn´t because of fountain hooking itself though, we have no information at all wether Valve changed their stance towards that mechanic. A new visual bug was discovered during the tournament and the play was disallowed because of it. | ||

Tongfu would have 100% won that game without the fountain hooking. | ||

No, we were reading the same post. BurningSera wrote "forget game2 or 3," which I thought meant, "I forget what he said Game 2 or 3," and since there wasn't an alchemist in G1, I thought we were talking about G4 and G5. In any case, I agree that the hate directed towards Hvost is a little bit extreme, but it's still a bit ridiculous to cherry pick pro's opinions when they change so much from one game to another (because Hvost's performance also changes drastically from one game to another). | ||

A new visual bug was discovered during the tournament and the play was disallowed because of it. I am sure in the process of fixing the visual bug, they will tighten up the timing on the hook itself and the whole thing will make more sense visually. I don’t think the bug was 100% reliable or that Na’Vi couldn’t make it happen 100% of the time. I think they were just throwing hooks and some of them showed up and others didn’t. I can’t see Valve removing it the interaction between the two abilities, however, since there are plenty of ways to stop it. Plus it is freaking awesome to watch, even if it fails. | ||

And then i hope [A] will stay as long as possible because i really want to see when will someone in [A] starts to 'break down' in a team like that, would be very interesting to see how long will Loda's leadership hold them together (dont get me wrong his leadership is a key factor for [A]). and then i dont care about the rest of western teams, EG gets their shit together and synderen maybe it is time to retire to be a caster or whatever. chinese teams zzzz please just go sort out your messes in your circle, you guys have too much issues. Wait... so Navi loses Game 5 of the finals by a hair and they want to make a change to the team? I don't get it. Unless you're getting LoH, or a major team disbands [lgd.int?] ... who the heck (that is somewhat available) is gonna be nearly as good as what funn1k or Kuro bring to the team? | ||

Ars-Art He may not be free currently, but I have no doubt he would drop Virtus pro in a heartbeat. Have you seen the few games VP won? It was basically AA+1 dragging the team to victory. Other than that there aren't many great support players in CIS region(or the west, for that matter) that are currently actually playing support. edit: Not that I think they need to replace someone. Chances are good they would end up with a worse replacement if they try to force it. | ||

The only thing more stupid is a ridiculous final where one two either starts 1/2 games up or one team has to win twice. I'm glad Valve are smart enough to see how retarded and tournament ruining levels of stupid the latter is, even if they persist with upper/lower bracket in general. | ||
