The Orange vs China drafts have been really interesting so far.
Part of being mature is to accept your loss.

im a Na'Vi fan, but last 5 games showed some sort of retarded decision making, laning and drafts. I have no idea how in the world a world-class team can not understand that a freefarm alchemist will destroy a squishy line-up with nothing to offer against BKB, how an URSA with no decent lockdown heroes can kill anyone in the game, how your Alchemist can go against offensive tri-lane and not expect to loose.

I expected so much more from Na'Vi this TI, but all they have shown is Chen+naix+rubick+bountry+1 or Chen+pudge. They went for the bootcamp in China, they played in Western scene for quite some time and still i feel like im looking at casino players, either go big on red or go home. How is this a top tier play in any way? So sad.

Such fun lineups, I cannot wait for this game. I love seeing heroes get picked who haven't gotten played much or at all.

Is alchemist Loda's best hero? How often can games honestly be lost just by letting a person have the hero they really want? Like obviously anything can happen and it's a team game but are some people just broken with certain heroes?

I still don't get all the intricacies of picking and banning but it seems like the LR thread is either joyous or frustrated severely based on choices being made.


Loda has a lot of good heroes but honestly you can't just worry about Loda. It's Bulldog, S4, Akke and EGM. That's really the impossible choice: focus on shitting on Loda who will develop into a monster if you don't or focus on the other 4 who all have the capacity to win alliance the game if left alone. And it's a massive problem that S4 is probably the best drafter in the world right now; he makes you pick what he wants you to pick, not what you want to pick. And then Alliance just waits for you to make a mistake.


S4 is privileged with having some of the best players in the world playing in their respective positions around him..He's a good drafter but the fact that he has one of the best 4-5 position combo and Bulldog who commands a Respect ban every game makes his drafting a hell of lot easier.Plus Loda can play a lot of carries (got nothing on burning AM tho :D)

Loda isn't really the problem, he isn't even near the top carry-wise, at least he wasn't when he joined Alliance, he is just good enough at his role to not drag the team down and obviously his lifelong friendship with Akke helps with the chemistry, but anyways, I'd probably just ban LD/chen/Prophet/Naga/Magnus vs them.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

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.

irony is that its not even starcraft, its just fucking MLG, they did it with Halo 2.


I guess thats not gonna be a problem anymore.

Wait. . . is she dating one of them?

She has a horrible reputation in the SC2 and LoL community lol


she dates loda
probably biggest esports groupie atm


Well Akke and EGM are really nice guys so they balance out the arrogance of Loda and the fact that they have Kelly as manager.

It's not the most fair, what's the most fair is highly debatable, but it makes for the most interesting tournament.

There's nothing more to be said.

If you talked about extended series, be clear about it. I thought it was all about double-elimination double-grand-finals
