A few USA chants are fine but please don't do it too much.

Stop the stupid USA arguments, thanks.

On another note, CDEC flairs are now live. Sorry about the delay on that.

WEC actually had double elimination grand finals, with two sets of BO3 played and the winner bracket team having to only win one (or was it two sets of BO5? Doesn't matter either way).

Double elimination tournaments are inherently shitty though. I never understood gaming's fetish for them.

Double elimination exists because there is no consistency in team seeding and prize pool.

If DotA had a proper team ranking system and a prize pool spread across every tournament in the year, the single elim would be fine. It's a fucking horrible idea when seeding is entirely dependent on luck and tournaments can eclipse the total sum of everything else in a year.

Take this tournament for example. Top 6 teams, 5 were in Group B.


I'm sorry gimping the grand finals is stupid. You get 2 lives to rule out luck in surviving the bracket. If you want 3 mil. Earn it. Plenty of SC tournaments were shit with the 1 game advantage. It's a huge up in terms of strategic flexibility. All the tournament is is qualification for that one match.

Don't throw a fit just because EG might win lol

You realise you are gimping the grand finals by not having a winners advantage right? If EG win its not a real victory and it kills any real sense of victory.

If EG were to have to come from 1 game behind or win 2 Bo5 series then that would be hype as fuck and it would mean they truely are the TI champions. If they win now its like "well EG won buuuuuuuuut..."

Basically if EG wins it'll just be anticlimactic

That it's C-D-E-C instead of Sea-deck.

Someone(Redeye?) said he'd ignore it, but switched to C-D-E-C instead. Production probably had a word with him.

The Koreans were wonderful. Great personalities.
I hope the Korean Dota Scene gets a lift because of this TI performance.

It said that CDEC is actually an acronym, so you should pronounce each letter. They said the casters calling them C-Deck were incorrect.

Azarkon says a lot of things. We seriously need a log blog of all his flipflopping.


Sure, sure, but you fail to see the big idea, which is West > China this year. Doesn't matter how much I go from team to team; that's the idea I'm going for.

I mean, you are actually grasping for straws. EG will likely win, but West as a whole lost in grander picture, especially compared to Ti3.


There were only two Western teams above top Chinese teams in 2013. Did that stop people from saying West > China?

Exactly, 2, plus one NADota team knocked out another Chinese one (it was Bo1 but still), plus Dignitas did knock out Rattlesnake in first loser's round, huh. That's much better of West vs China record than this TI, huh.

Actually, fuck it, i am bored during the break:

West vs China at TI3: 5-2 in favor of West

West vs China at TI5: 3-7 in favor of China.


Just ignore him, he's just a bandwagonner that changes his PoV each day

They were in the same groups. If you want to make yourself feel better, the mental gymnastics you must perform would be "the 0-2 counts as partial elimination"

The difference of which team's results? If EG did not cheese EHOME out, we would likely have even more lopsided record in favor of China. Also, obviously i am not giving a fuck about group games because remember where top 2 of group A finished?

seeing this c9 clip makes me excited for post-ti shuffles. this year it will be condensed down into a short period so it'll be more fun than 6 months of "these results don't matter every team is changing players"

Exactly! Even if EG would win they would still not be the "real" winners.

I seriously doubt that anyone who has ever played any game competitively defends the "no WB advantage".
Anyone who has been in the same situation knows how unfair it is not getting the second life that the other teams had
