The one hour break will be much needed. Imagine if LGD wins it would mean up to 11 games of DotA 2 in a row. That's a boatload even if you're used to practicing 12 hours a day.

People just have to complain about everything. There's always hundreds of whine-posts in SC2 double-elim finals because one side having an advantage in grand finals before the actual grand finals even start is not very... grand. Now Valve does it this way and lo and behold, hundreds of whine posts again.

Personally, I like this way a lot more, especially if the grand finals are played on same day as other matches. There is absolutely no reason to think that coming from winner's bracket is NOT an advantage, so it's not like teams are going to throw games or whatever. You're going to be fresher, maybe have an extra special strat saved up, have an extra chance to observe your opponents' games... it is an advantage, however small you may want to claim it is - and the finals actually start off on even footing, which is nice.

Just have single elim instead, then.

Fairness is pretty important when a million dollars is on the line. Also those people who complain don't know the format. 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.


How can you talk about fairness and suggest single elim in the same sentence? Single elim is like, the least fair and least consistent of any tournament formats you could ever have, unless you deliberately rig stuff.

The team that wins all their sets does not have a disadvantage. They don't have as big of an advantage as you seem to be advocating for, but they absolutely do not have a disadvantage.

Single elimination can be very fair if you have good seeding (group play or whatever) and high enough box (no bo1s). And it makes sense and can be very fun to watch.
