I don't think Alliance can lose at this point they will have to lose two Bo5 in the grand finals... They have dropped a set yet.



Yeah, we don't have that starcraft bullshit in dota, it's a single bo5.

lol ''starcraft bullshit'' = the standard way to run a double elimination tournament

I've seen some pretty sick FGC matches that wouldn't be possible without the "starcraft BS"

Plus, it's called double elimination for a reason...


The starcraft bullshit is the extended series stuff, which people seem to confuse for standard double elimination when in fact it has nothing to do with it.

The whole idea behind double elim is that you get a second chance, you need to lose twice to get knocked out of the tournament. If you reach the grand finals through the winner bracket that means you haven't lost a game yet, so you need to lose once before you can be knocked out. The team from the losers bracket has obviously already lost once.

Extended series is a whole different thing.

And I understand why Valve runs it this way, but saying that it is de facto more fair to run it in a way where the team that has performed the best gets one less chance than the other team is just not true.

I saw a lot of TI1 era Na'vi shining through in game 2, with all the hard pushing, taking all tier 2s by 20 minutes. Too bad it doesn't really work now, considering how a lot of anti-push has been added to the game since then.


I wouldn't say anti-push I'd say many buffs to a lot of heroes overall.

Na'Vi desperately needed....(inb4 shitstorm) LighTofHeaveN... I think that his experience would have been huge in this kind of situations.

why would there be a shitstorm? i'm still a bit sore over booting loh and aa to keep xboct(i like him but i liked loh/aa way more)

I haven't play dota in quite a few years now and back then he was usually played as a carry with the heavy pure damage. I understand he has been changed recently, he's a support now?

The problem is Alliance is a lot more flexible and solid than the Chinese teams of TI2. I think the Chinese teams of TI2 had more refinement in their strategies. But they kept on being caught offguard by Na'Vi

I think for Na'Vi to win vs Alliance they need to stop the gimmicky crap. Draft some playmakers for funnik and Dendi, and just go from there.


I agree with both statements. Puppey needs to draft heroes Na'Vi plays with. They have skill to outplay Alliance.

But I'm pretty sure LoH would have called off some engagement Na'Vi had in those last fights, that's why I'm saying his experience is worth gold.

The arguments here get really crappy. Alliance play defensive and greedy. I can respect that, I just can't get excited over it.

They average the most kills in the tournament... So they play defensive?

This makes or does not make sense to you?

Average kills per minute tells more about how aggressive team is
