Having it on the first day kinda kills some of the hype for me, I guess. It's hard to explain right now for some reason, but some of you have to know what I'm trying to say. Anyone else getting this feeling or am I just crazy? Most people feel this way I think. My other main issue is that the main event just feels so short. Win 2 series from the WB and you're in the finals. Yes, Newbee deserved it, but I would still prefer a 16 team bracket. | ||

Agreed, it kinda feels like Newbee just strolled to the finals even though thats not really true at all. The fact that this tournament has been broken down into so many segments kinda kills it for me. I mean, they are at the actual even right now and a few bo3's in and we already have a finalist and a 3rd/second place team. Just feels so weird, like its a really small tournament or something. | ||

Of course there is still the entire lower bracket but we already have a team in the finals. Now we are just determining who else is going to be there. Perhaps they could have done Upper bracket round 1 and 1 series for lower bracket round 2. And then have the this series tomorrow with the rest of the lower brackets. | ||

Maybe support doom was good against enigma? I dont support either team but great to see precise execution and understanding by xiao8's team. definitely not a throw by EG. newbee just smashed them. Mason weaknesses are really being exposed. If he's put on a true carry and gets shut down early, he plays very poorly from behind (a couple of EG's losses were really when Mason got shut down early). | ||

I think their idea was that "which teams are going to be eliminated" gives more hype than "which team is going to the grand finals", but I agree that they got that wrong | ||

You could say the same thing abour RTZ (naga aside) though he's getting better at playing from behind. | ||
