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.

Its a TI final. They are always anticlimactic

unless Puppey in it.

Well let's see if Shiki does play Leshrac this time.

This might throw EG for a loop, interesting...

TI5 for a short while Luna was in the meta. And now Lesh is being picked after being banned all tournament. Also WW was first pick and now often last.

does cdec at least get pick priority for first and 5th game? or is it random?

There are NO ADVANTAGE in anything for the Grand Finals.

They coin flip the first games, whoever wins the coin decides whether the want radiant/dire or to have first pick. I'm not sure what happen in subsequent games though.

Disgraceful game by cdec! This is why no winner's advantage is a joke!


Because a team that plays that poorly should still have an equal chance of winning as the team that beat them?


Yes because cdec is the only team not given a 2nd life. The sole reason why there is no winner's advantage is due to having a hyped finals but it comes at the expense of integrity and fairness. This is not how double eliminations tourneys are run. All the tournaments like evo/sc2 etc run double elimination tourneys properly and fairly.


EG already played today, so there's your winner's advantage.


This.

It is what it is, please lets not debate the validity of CDEC not having a "second life", like in every tournament ever.

I don't know, I think Ihad to debate about it a lot before dropping the ball, and yet sometimes I still feel the will to defend the "true" double eliminaiton But not tonight, I want some doto!


Yeah, I get caught up with the debates too. People seem quite stubborn to change their opinions about the topic. Right now, don't care either... Just want to see the best finals ever.

That's really arguable advantage since you can say EG have the momentum, while CDEC have a fresh match.


Seriously, it's such a bad argument. All of these guys are used to playing multiple hours in a row. Do people really think that the team that comes in pumped up, with momentum and in a great state of mind after winning a main stage series already is worse off than the team who comes in cold off a scrim and a pub lol?

Everyone's forgetting winner bracket doesn't have to show as many strategies. Which is extremely important in dota especially ti.
