I think the most picked will be Dazzle, and the most banned Naga. | ||

So from now on what heroes will be most picked/banned?) I think the most picked will be Dazzle, and the most banned Naga. Don't see any reason why things will change. Most picked will be Gyro or QoP. Most banned will be Leshrac. | ||

With competition tight as it is (anyone can take a single game off of each other on a lucky day), its slightly better than a coin flip. But its just a weird compromise between cut throat group stage(teams being eliminated) vs far more relaxed group stage(just being sent to losers in double elim which is bad too but not that devastating for all the matches and effort you get put thru), so I get the point, bo1 is needed to keep that balance as i see it.... but if thats the case just dont have group stage imo. If you want each team playing each other then there should be a separate regular season for that. | ||

Inb4 every team suddenly lets leshrac through and leshrac somehow ends up with 30% winrate in main event anyways. Granted, that's not happening, but hey, it would be fun to see (because i do think Leshrac is 6.81 Brewmaster level of ridiculous right now). Also, i hope chinese teams used those 3 days to learn to play support Naga/WW and Techies well enough to not fuck themselves over. | ||

They played against the MVP in their group and barely won a game, and the MVP in the other group took a game off Secret. And I'm sure the MVP organization came in with new strategies that they're going to use here. | ||

It's been picked pretty ubiquitously in mid-tier Chinese tournaments, it's just that, well, Chinese supports are still just terrible at playing it. I expect techies will be 100% pick/ban if tusk has been taken, but absent tusk I'm not convinced he'll be that common (though yes, both eg and coL have run techies without tusk) | ||

Or better yet, the eventual coL vs C9 upper bracket finals if we are gonna get coL on finals then CDEC should damn well make it to the finals so that we get a year of the underdogs ! also all fans going nuts with all that they believe in gonna get SavageD . coL vs CDEC grand finals will make everyone crazier than navi winning TI5 for sure | ||
