IMO i think if you are coming from winners bracket you get to ban one more hero.

Welp, at least iG is getting 2 million dollars (due to the promise that their sponsors would match the million)

They've got to figure out how to deal with disruptor...or spend a ban on him.

That's what I mean. Every game the team that won was a one sided stomp.

Nobody expected them to go this far? really lumi?

Completely agree. Did you even see how crappy they played early in this tournament? I didn't think they'll end top 8 at that rate. They got into form really, really quickly.


he's talking about ig...

they were first in their group

Fail then, sorry. Most predictions I remember had LGD/iG top #2 with #3 open for grabs for lots of teams.

No because one-sided stomps are never boring to watch. 5v5 with plenty of ganks will always be more exciting than someone getting 4 gated in 8 minutes over and over.

Well this is really the first type of tournament of this caliber - however even if they are 'stomps', the games have been quite good.

The entire tournament has been insane.

Dendi DK just won them game #2 in case you missed it.

Unlike sc2 stomps are still exciting because of the plays leading up to it.

This should be 2-2... the no advantage for coming from the winner's bracket is just dumb.


Keep playing that violin. They all knew the rules going in, if it was a huge issue all the teams would've complained and it most likely would've been changed. They all realize that they might be the ones coming up from the Loser's bracket and appreciate an even Bo5 in the Grand Finals for $1 Million.


This, as much as I want Na'Vi to win the players knew the terms before the tournament before it started.

Dendi not playing Rubick was a bit problem, DS + Enigma + Disruptor seems so strong especially when they totally outfarm you.

Because a lot of it comes down to strategy and mind games at this level. Neither team are capable of outplaying the opponent hard enough to come back from losing strategies.

Winners bracket finals were way better.

But the skill shown on winning side each time is priceless

1 sided stomps aren't considered bad in DotA like they are sometimes in SC2. The skills shown are a treat to watch
