Yeah but if you're in group B, why would you want to end up first place and most likely face DK in semis? Love the bo7 finals tho. | ||

Love the bo7 finals tho. well the idea is that even if you top group B, you're still likely to lose to 4th in group A, who did better/was the higher seed than you On May 24 2014 19:40 Seanzk wrote: Sylar was a player of RisingStar then, so he can't play for VG. But Sansheng had no team before, so he is allowed. but sansheng stood in for iG once, and he didn't place for newbee after he joined again? | ||

About c9: I won't be surprised at all if they do well here. Last time when they were in China they weren't happy with the trip as a whole, but stating that they did really badly isn't exactly true either. They beat VG and Titan in groups and every match they lost against DK, LGD or Tongfu was 1-2. I remember watching some of those games and they did some really silly unforced mistakes in several of their games, and I didn't get the impression at all that the Chinese teams are out of their reach. They also recently put EE back in the drafter position, so it will be interesting to see how they do in that regard. | ||

There is still 1,5 months until TI and several tournaments in between, so I feel it's totally pointless to hide strategies. Whether there is a chance to use a particular strategy is another story, but I don't think anyone goes in with the intention of holding back a particular strategy.
