Good point, but in reddit you can hide/ignore comments easily.

We need more free use of the banhammer IMO

And I really don't think I like how we basically have 1/2 of the finals already decided, I wish they would have waited to play out the winner's bracket final until a later day. 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?

Not crazy, I'm definetly with you. Just feels weird, but can't really explain why exactly.


Its just strange to know one finalist before we even know place 8, in my opinion. But I can live with that.

Your predictions for the losers bracket? I think IG could beat EG.

iG > LGD
Na´Vi > C9

DK < iG
Na´Vi > VG

Na´Vi > iG

Na´Vi > EG

Na´Vi < NB

What would TI be, without Na´Vi coming 2nd? (Sorry Na´Vi fans, I love them too.)

I'm not sure. There have been some god awful posts in this LR thread today, albeit I ignored most of them because if I had to answer everyone my sanity would crumble. I'd say 50/50 Lol.

I find the hypocrisy appalling. People accusing Newbee of racism, and as soon as the interview comes on, twitch chat goes full "CHING CHONG DING DONG".

Then again, Twitch chat never was a good place. I miss the days of D2L, back when Ayesee used to give shoutouts to every viewer. That chat was actually good. (I MIGHT be bitter).

Haven't checked reddit, but I imagine it's probably more salty than the noodles I had for dinner today.

I still can't fucking believe DK didn't take a single game from EG.
I think their strategy is to dumpster bad Western teams (c) uriel

NB getting to the Grand Finals this early might work against them because they were a team that gained momentum, was on the verge of getting eliminated by Titan until their game 3 and from that point on just went on to win every game ahead of them.

There's a ton of "momentum" teams here where i can see the couple of days worth of waiting working against them when they're paired up against a team that worked as hard as they did to get up there assuming it's not one of the three of the teams getting dropped here.

newbee drafted and played it well. now EG needs to rethink their greedy lineup if they were to face up against newbee again. 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).


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




RTZ has historically been able to show that he's been able to play from behind, that's not necessarily true of Mason who is playing 1 position for EG. Anyone can play 1 position if his team is creating gigantic amounts of room for him (which RTZ, Universe, Zai, and PPD do almost every game). Granted he executes well when he's ahead, but the true mark of a carry player is being able to anchor your team and bring them back from seemingly unwinnable situations.


Hvost, Burning, Hao, Sylar, and many other players have shown that. Mason showed abit of that in the first game against DK, but really that was more DK getting too fancy for their own good (and IceIceIce being a fucking troll) and walking into double ravages more then anything.

Man.....people posting Salty alone garners a ban or warning at least. Regardless of ANY outcome, there will be losers therefore, dissatisfied people. Guess everyone is feeling like the sky is blue today.

If you ever turn on chat.. you likely cannot call yourself a human being anymore. Some sort of internet alien after that point.

really didn't like that last draft by ppd, especially the last two picks. I would have preferred they went tinker instead of DK. Or, if they were gonna commit to DK, they should have picked a hard pusher for their last pick, not that useless wraith king


DK was a better pusher and also was a choice that wouldn't just get fucked by brew + whatever disables that Newbee felt like adding on during that draft. Enigma gave a lot of pushing power by itself but in the end if you're gonna just run around trading towers (because Newbee would also take towers) then it's not like Spectre would be that much worse off - she could still kill people.

Stop being salty about the fucking format. It's fucking amazing. Mind NewBee first of all had to risk their lives in tiebreakers, barely scraping their ass into the Main Event. Then they had to play all the way through the phase three, knocking down Titan, Na'Vi and the titans that are iG. Today they beat Vici and EG. If that team is NOT worthy of the Grand Finals, then who the fuck deserves it.

NewBee proved that the best team gets into the finals.

Inb4 salty tears.


I don't think anybody is complaining about the format. It's the order in which the format was carried out. I'm sorry I brought you no tears
