Well that one was more worth it. Sacrificing the VS to save the BM who needs his gold more is always gonna be worth it. In the end it was the Chen skill that saved him, but the VS swap could have potentially saved him also.

...to save someone else?

pub players need to realize that VS swapping and dying to save a teammate is worth it like 90% of the time(unless you're trying to save a fucking CM or something)

But saved beastmaster. Good choice for VS to die there instead of BM


Beastmaster was sent back by chen, he should have survived

By the way I feel like writing a super long article about Double Elimination because people seem to have no clue -_- I really am tired of stupid tournament organizers ruining the prestige of their tournaments.

People that say LB isn't a disadvantage in this tournament really don't understand DotA 2 at all. In the LB, you will pull any pocket strat that you have in order to not be eliminated. Revealing these pocket strats early is a massive disadvantage. Revealing such an early strat is BAD. It gives teams time to scout you out and figure out how to counter it. It's a BIG time advantage to be in the WB.

Do you understand that the winners bracket winner has the right to be forced into that position as well instead of being immediately eliminated? God, people really are dense, it's incredible.



What?


If you win the entire way playing standard in the WB you aren't forced to reveal anything until the Grand Final. That's a massive advantage.


It's like you don't even understand how DotA 2 is played. Coming from the WB final is an advantage in that you didn't have to reveal any strats really. And being able to save all your pocket/cheese strats for the GF is good because no one can prepare for them.

Not even going to bother, refer to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-elimination_tournament


Man, the CK totally overextended >_< However it seems like col is going to get 2 turrets now ...

Wow how did morph fail that deny lol? o_o

And lol Chen too good



Your argument is bad? Revealing 0 pocket strats is a big advantage. You go into the grand final revealing nothing about how you could potentially play over a bo5.
