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.

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.

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


The concept of momentum is something so silly in sports... As it has virtually no resemblance to the literal meaning of the word.

EG had 2 hours to think about plans for CDEC, already a bit tired, probably prepared 99% for LGD. Yeah, I dunno, I don't really buy the winning the previous match gives you an advantage for the next match.

At worst, EG and CDEC come on an even playing field, and I think that's fine.

I don't think you've ever seriously competed in sport if you think momentum isn't a thing. When you're on a roll, you feel incredible, and when you feel confident, you do everything better. Maybe not for absolutely everyone, IDK, but certainly for the vast majority.

Not to say that it's necessarily an advantage to be coming from the LB here, but the idea of momentum in sports (and so eSports) is utterly legitimate.


The better you can handle your emotions, the less it will impact you. I think that at this level, the morale boost you get from winning your previous game is minuscule compared to the exhaustion from last game. I think that people overestimate it, because they imagine how they'd perform in that situation, when they handle it a lot worse than the pros. I've been on badminton teams and swimming teams, as well as weightlifting, and when I fail a lift, I can go do the same weight unphased even if I failed it previously.

Obviously just talking out of my butt, and some research in this would be interesting.


Professional sports stars talk about momentum all the time. Home advantage is a major thing in many sports.

Confidence in competition is utterly massive.
Did you ever say Yes to a single joy?

Can someone explain how the First Pick/Side Choice thing works? Seems like CDEC values first pick, EG values Dire, so it'll stay like that all finals?

I'd say cdec favors dire, but maybe they lost the coin toss.
