in case somebody doesnt know

alliance standing right now is 20-1

they only lost a single game to DK the entire tournament .. and i dont see anyone winning against them

That's awesome, no need to be sad.


they are not that popular that is why i did not expect them to do an almost perfect gameplay against the greatest teams in dota

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

Nah, single series is good, fair, and fun. At most a 1 game advantage would be tolerable, anything else is ridiculous for a grand finals.

I dunno about fair, but single series (maybe with a game advantage) is certainly fine for dota, and definitely the most fun option.

but its not "starcraft bullshit", it is literally the way most double elim tournaments are designe, all FGC tournaments for example are double elim with 2 round finals, and they get plenty hype

It's about the game type really. Fighting games do better in this type of tournament setup because of their nature, each match is "more exciting" and closer etc. In Starcraft it really feels that a 1 game or series advantage is way too much to overcome.

Which makes series significantly more boring


1 game advantage is ok, but something has to be done to give the winner bracket side an advantage since they haven't been eliminated once. I don't know if TI3 does that though.


The winner bracket has the advantage of not having to go through the losers bracket. Im sure its grueling

Not as much when you split up a tournament on this many days.


The other grand finalist has to potentially play 8 games back to back in one day; I think the half-day off for [A] is at least a bit of an advantage...

Maybe paying off.

mushi is inconsistent that even his biggest fans get heartbroken when he does the Mushi Mistake.
