He sure played consistently in all 3 of these games - I just said he was the best player in the series. Yet for some reason many carry players still fail at it especially when their team is getting crushed - This was not the case with XBOCT. This actually was the case with LGD's carry who's regarded to be a far better player - Funny isn't it? There probably were several situations where Dendi for instance fucked up as well, getting hit by that ravage comes to mind. Making mistakes isn't as bad if the rest of your play is so good. Well I sure wish I had a player in my team who when nervous manage to carry his team with a 11-2 score 650+ gpm 400+ cs despite making mistakes. Oh man how dreadful. And don't forget that, again, he was #1 in farm in the game Na'Vi lost despite getting decimated earlygame and being against one of the best carries in the world. In that he was the only player who actually did anything. Look - I don't disagree that XBOCT is an AMAZING player. Just in a world where where Dendi/Puppey/LoH are S++++++ class, XBOCT is only S++ class, to me. | ||

Don't give the team that wins all their sets a disadvantage in comparison to all the others. Does that make sense to you ? And with all that rant out of the way IG-LGD is starting, let's see what'll happen. Why not 16 teams league format for ultimate fairness then? They had the time to do it. | ||

That is what ? 8-10 hours straight ? Complete bullshit if you ask me. I will not be surprised if Na`Vi stomp them in the final, just because LGD are exhausted. I heard chinese teams playing like entire bo11 scrims in one day. They don't get tired | ||

Maybe they'll reveal some tactics or special stuff but i doubt that as well. And they do have decent breaks. Maybe not long breaks and maybe they're still in the spotlight but it's not like physically exhausting. More mentally, and yeah i'll give you that they do have mental advantage (Na'vi) now. Did you see Puppey's reaction to playing a full Bo5 against a Chinese team? He looked completely worked just thinking about it. And players from lots of different games have said that fatigue is a factor. Look at MLG; making it through an open bracket is hard just because of the sheer number of games, not even taking into account opponent skill. | ||

I think I could argue that if xboct were on any team but na`vi it wouldn't work out for the better. If I said he replaced pajkatt would CLG be better? Probably not. If dendi replaced anyone they would be just as good if not better. | ||

NO SHIT HAVING 1-0 lead is better ON TOP of not having to play iG. But to say that winning over LGD now in the upper bracket is not an advantage is STUPID. If na`vi got a 1-0 lead THEN IT WOULDN'T BE FAIR. You don't understand that they would also have played less opponents than LGD who also would only have one loss if they ended up winning the whole thing. You are right. 1-0 lead and not having to play iG is a tremendous advantge. I totally agree with you there. Still, you have to balance out, that LGD has got a second life and Na'Vi don't. In my opinion 1 bo3 against iG doesn't equal to a second life. The fairest would be to simply give Na'Vi another life in the grand finals, but I suppose it's too much to play 2 bo3 in a grand final in dota. It's just the following question: Who do you want to give the greater advantage, because double elimination isn't completely fair. Personally, I don't think iG deserves the greater advantage, 'cause they dropped to the loser bracket and not Na'Vi. | ||
