Ya I honestly don't think Dendi said that to piss LGD off. I mean this is Dendi, he trolls as much as Hvost does.

As long as LGD aren't offended by it, it should be fine. We being fans can only assume or what not.

Were LGD.cn the team in which their players were flaming westerners playing in CDEC? That could be the cause of this bm, correct me if I'm wrong.

Those who doesn't know, xiao8 did indeed break up with ZhaoJie recently (before the finals).

just realize that there is no meaningful competition on this planet, not a single one, that uses double elimination.

there is a reason for that, it is a stupid format that should have no place. it's a fucking tournament, you lose your out. if you want to run a format with maximal fairness and the chance for people to lose, then play a fucking league or extended group stage.

in a knockout-phase losing has no place, double elimination has no place and until esports learns this it will never grow into the mainstream. at least sc2 is now after 2 years pretty much free of double elimination, with exception of the last MLG that was most definitely worse than MLG dallas which run single elim...


Of course some real sports use double elim/loosers bracket. I have seen it in judo on olympics, the main difference is loosers bracket ends at bronze medal fight, there is no LB winner vs WB looser match or follow up "grand final" fight, there is WB final for gold/silver and LB final for bronze/4th and thats it, probably the fairest double elim.


that's actually a pretty good solution

If there was any story or what the fans wanted to believe, it'd have been yesterday.

Does Dendi make a habbit of saying these sorts of things?

The insta-qq from so many is such a turn-off. Ever think you misunderstood the transaction?

I'm not saying I would've said it, but I ain't Dendi, and I don't know the LGD team like he does, or any of the progamer drama either. None of us know just what that is supposed to mean, which is one reason it's bad form to do it on stream, but whatever.

Chill out already.

Alliance is the favorite to win TI3. LGD seems to be the closest eastern team that can beat top tier western teams. The rest of the east seems to be stuck with a play style/draft that won them last years TL2.

Might as well do single elimination. It works for the Olympics because there is a bronze medal and single elimination is not the best regarding third place matches, but it doesn't make sense for tournaments that don't care about it. Noone would care about the losers bracket.

The International 3 will be insane.

Both IG and LGD.int have proved that both can take the top (when they train ) at G-League.
DK, Orange, TongFu proved they can beat other top teams at Super League.
LGD keep taking top 3 spots at the main tournaments.
And Alliance + Navi showed how to take chinese after chinese team to take tournaments.

So many contenders.

it is not a real double elimination. the main tournament (for gold and silver) is normal single elimination.

but there is a side tournament, a so called "Repêchage" (that's the french word for it), where the losers get a second chance to fight for bronze. this side tournament also has no final, this is why there are 2 bronze medalists in these competitions. you can't really compare this to double elimination.
