So it only makes sense for it to be there for valve to show the game off to everyone over there. Yeah, i would bet in China too, its the most logical place to hold the next TI | ||

I actually prefer having it on. | ||

And variance could only be applied BEFORE any games have happened. Once the first set of games have been decided (you have a winner and loser). Those games cannot be counted in the variance any longer. It wasn't serious... Though I indeed am applying it before they've happened  I think I should write a thesis on this, it'd be so easy to win the nobel prize with this... By the way for actual predictions I think that LGD is probably going to win the tournament unless IG decides to awaken. My favorite scenario would be Burning carrying the shit out of his team every game and DK somehow winning the finals but I really don't think it's possible. I'd say that right now the power levels go LGD > IG > Navi > DK but it's possible Navi will be able to beat IG again if they haven't mentally recovered. | ||

Basically you saying that if a coin comes up heads on the first 2 flips, it is more likely to come up tails on the third flip. Which is simply not true. | ||

I'm just saying 1-1 is easier to achieve than 2-0. Anyone would probably agree with me on that. However it really was meant as a joke ... | ||

It is with Blink Dagger, not a TP Scroll so the double tap is inconvenient. + Show Spoiler + Just after the Song of the Siren, you can see Dendi forcestaff out of ravage and steals it after. It is so sick | ||

The games run for like 12+ hours a day, how can you expect anywhere in the world to cater to someone's timezone with that? I live in the exact same timezone as TI2 and one of the prelim days ran all the way from 9am to almost 2am, then started all over again at 9am that same day. The days are so long it's inconvenient for everyone at certain points, including the people in the same timezone. Not to mention, even if they were to cater to European timezones instead, then it sucks for America, China, SEA, Australia etc. still too. Not everyone is happy no matter where you do it. The International last year was in Europe, this year it was in the US. It's pretty fair for everyone to be honest. Next year it should be done in China, and the next year somewhere in SEA. | ||

I only replied because you seemed to make a big deal out of the tournament format yesterday. And said you just need to 'correct' other people because they are wrong. And how Value to hire you to run the tournament. Yet your own logic is wrong for this case. And again, before any games are played , 2-0 is 25%, 1-1 is 50% and 0-2 is 25% . But in your scenario, it is already 1-0. So 1-1 is just as likely as 2-0. | ||

So that leaves the lina, which was probably a mistake over a vengeful or even lich. But I'm guessing iG had refined their naga teamfight down so perfectly, that they were confident, almost automatic in their execution. I don't think they believed that if they executed everything perfectly (catching everyone in the sleep vacuum ravage +aoe spam), they would lose. What's the point of practicing a strategy over and over if you don't believe it will work? Bill Russell once said you make adjustments, but they have to be adjustments you can reasonably make. And a reasonable adjustment would have been Zhou not being full on stupid and just moving out of the way of the bhole (since he had TIME to setup) and just snaring Enigma to cancel the bhole. | ||
