Please do not continue this racism malarkey. It will be treated as a meme from now on (page 253 onwards).

There is no way that the only have a 18% chance of winning like D2L suggests. I think it's more even. I guess IG will win 2-1.

Can someone explain to me why there is a reddit thread with almost 800 responses of people who don't like this years TI?
I mean yesterday we saw some of the best Dota ever played and Newbee deserve to be in the finals winning 5+ BO3s in a row. The games are on such a high level I don't get it why you could ever complain. Today should be even better since it's elimination matches for every team.

The format is awful and really anticlimatic. At least this is my opinion. But knowing 2 teams of the top 3 so early, splitting BO3, not having all 16 teams on the main stage, etc... is killing the hype for me.
Anyway it's still TI, I'm really eager to watch everything, love most of it, but this year is not the same than before. It feels a bit bland :-/


Because knowing 1 team is in the final makes todays lowerbracket games and tomorrows really anticlimatic and boring. Yeah I see where your getting at. It's not like it's do or die for these teams anyways /s

Also I really do not understand the fact that we need to have 16 teams on the mainstage. If you think that the format now is bland and hypekilling I would not even dare to think seeing Arrow and Mouz losing game on game through on the mainstage delivering nothing but dissapointing performances.

Theres no winning for Valve with some people.

Well you want to be a arrogant ass, be it. You guys seem to think that everyone who disagrees with the format are idiots, and / or butthurt EG fanboys, well that makes things a lot easier for you to understand right ?
The point is that I don't even care which team is in grand finale, and to be honest Newbee's run impressed me more than any other team. But guys like you, who thinks highly of themselves, and consider anyone else like idiots can't even understand what I just typed in my comment, that I dislike the format of this year. But I guess I can't have my opinions and own feelings, and splitting BO3 is a awesome decision from Valve.
Sorry if I disagree and disrepect your divine words.

Exactly why could they not just run 3 Bo3's?

cos then the series tomorrow would be a bit strange, since you play one LR2 match one day and another LR2 match the next


I don't see how that is stranger than splitting a match in two. You never see something like that in real sports because the first half of a game has an impact on the second.

it's not that uncommon e.g. soccer comes to mind with two-leg playoffs

Think navi 2:0 c9 and iG 2:0 LGD.

C9 is either 100-0 or 0-100 vs any team and from their interviews even though they say their only here for number 1 they seem pretty complacent for the top 8 finish. Well, except for envy, but a butterfly in australia flapping its wings could disturb the air patterns and wake him up at night and suddenly he's walking into pudge hooks. He seems really susceptible to random shit throwing his game off by a lot. Navi haven't impressed that much either but they have the puppey late game advantage and I don't think I've seen C9 yolo push with pugna sing for a long time.

iG LGD is pretty self explanatory. I can't remember the last time LGD beat iG in a BoX series. Sure, it's different players but iG is also playing really well.

DK iG has grand finals potential grand finals levels of play. So I'm really looking forward to that (unless LGD pulls a miracle).

Think it's more like 90% chance of iG winning. LGD haven't been able to do anything against top chinese teams for awhile now.

Did I hurt your feelings? Because I missed the point where I typed you were an idiot? I also missed where I said you are not entitled to your opinion?

This is a discussion thread, if you come in here and believe you can make a bold statement, where you bloat out that the format is "awful and anticlimatic" without people responding, you are wrong and quite frankly naive.

basketball / baseball all play a BoX series on different days, mostly cause home field advantage and players can't play that many games a day but still, it's far from unheard of.
