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.

Same here, while I'm not all satisfied with the format (But I'm not in a mood to argue about that) it has been a great event as a whole

It has been a crazy ride so far.

The finale will be crazy as well: either we get an unrepeatable Royal Road, or first NA DOTO champion.

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


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

EG and CDEC are tied 2-2 in wins.

Who deserves the advantage?


Are you trolling or just stupid? Do you really want to bring group stage results into the brackets?


yes, because if those group stage results didn't occur CDEC wouldn't have known that techies will stomp them and EG would have 2-0'd in the bracket instead.


Not remotely true, ppd had to show his hand vs ehome, both teams already knew about techies.

You think a team like CDEC would first ban a hero because they saw an other team lose against it once?
ppd also drafted an Universe Ench in the group and won. It's obviously worthy of a ban.


Yes I would actually. I'm fairly sure the CDEC guys know the ehome guys and they probably scrim often. If ehome gives techies the respect first ban, I'm sure CDEC would have as well. Enchantress hardly changes the game dynamic the way techies does

First phase ban are incredibly expensive. If they start to ban Techies based on one game then they have to let through Naga (which EG was 5-0 with) or Leshrac if EG is first pick...
I hardly think they would do that, they didn't even ban Techies when they lost a game against it!



You've answered yourself really, they didn't ban techies even after their first loss. Leshrac hasn't proven himself to change the flow of the game either times it was run. LGD would have won if not for the big game losing misplay. I think they can play around the Leshrac, not so much against the techies.

Also CDEC outplayed eg even when they had the perfect Naga composition and were ahead. Banning techies is to prevent their entire gameplan from being changed.

It's really a unique tournament. I hardly follow/watch/play dota anymore but still really enjoy this.

Also it seems this year so many good games. No rat bullshit, or 90min farmfests. Not too many stomps. Really great

even if you put rampage 1st, that play was by far better than the 2nd play where CDEC wipe EG at tier 2 top tower to force GG

I don't like the majors system. I know it's good for the scene, but for me they steal the thunder from the only tournament that matters, the World Cup-class event that is TI.

I started watching dota during TI2 and fell in love with the game, and Fear was my first favorite player. I rooted for Dignitas in TI3 when Fear+Jeyo EG didn't make it, and I've always been a big fan of aui_2000. While they're not my beloved c9, EG definitely deserve this chance and I'm rooted for them hard. NA dota has come so far and I hope it goes a little further. GO EG!

Filling time.
Heaven's Halberd is the most criminally underbought item in Dota. Together we can stop this.
