Well Loda thinks its a bo5, he said so in the post match interview.
EG's diverse hero pool will prove to be too much. EG can play all of Alliance's signature heroes, while Alliance cannot do the same. EG doesn't need to automatically ban LD/NP/Batrider and so on because they can just pick them for themselves. This is why EG has been the most dominant team over the last couple years. Huge hero pool and flexibility in the roles. Alliance is playing some fantastic Dota, I think it will be a good series. But it goes 3-1 for EG.

It's the only series of the day, surely it has to be a bo5 right?

Also quite interesting: neither of the two group winners actually made it to the grand final.

Feels the same for bandwagon Alliance fans as well.

Reliable source is on the stream when Sheever just official announce it was a best of 3.

I'm not sure who to cheer for tomorrow, but I guess probably Alliance. Nothing creates more salt on here than Alliance winning, and I'm fueled by salt. Mark my words, even if they theoretically stomped EG tomorrow, this thread would still fill up with people saying it was just a fluke and Alliance is still a tier 3 team etc.
They have the most dedicated haters of any team out there, I love it.

Sheever said it was Bo3 on stream, even if everyone is thinking it's a Bo5. Probably should get some clarity on that.
Since I won't be around for the event itself, more than likely, I'll take a second run at figuring out what PPD will attempt to ban away from Alliance. I managed to figure out the bans again LGD simply because LGD didn't play too much beyond a certain set of heroes.
Alliance is a little trickier, as EG has used much of the same hero pool this tournament. Especially as other people are picking Nature's Prophet a lot. There's also a benefit to forcing s4 to pick up the Bulldog hero early, as it saves him a ban on Broodmother. But ppd banned Chen & Nature's Prophet in their group stage game, while Puppey banned Wisp + Batrider/Nature's Prophet (x2).
I think ppd is going to ban Chen + 1 other. So I'm going to go with Chen + Batrider in the first phase. Both are signature heroes that are currently well in the Meta, plus early roamers, which Alliance has done well lately. Second phase bans are going to be dependent who they lock in during the first phase. Though if EG has first pick, don't be surprised to see Chen + Nature's Prophet Bans with First Pick Lone Druid.

they have two grand finals tomorrow and even cs is bo3. it's always disappointing when a final isn't a bo5 (or has a WB advantage). they had 4 series today. I don't understand both bo3 finals -_-'
in cs teams made clear that they don't want a bo5 final if it is the same day as the semi final. but that's not the case with this tournament

Whoop whoop let's go EG!!

It's gotta be scheduling. A Dota2 Bo5 could be anywhere from 2.5 hours to 6 hours to complete. Depending on how quickly some games go and if you get a barn-burner of a super-long game.

Man, why is it going to start so late. As American, this sucks =/
