Why wouldn't they be. You think Kuroky's team is actually above them? Lelz.

I say there are no dominant teams anymore.

There are really good teams and good teams, both can end up victorious in a best of three against each other.

What is a top team? A team that always ends up 1st/2nd/3rd for a year? The only fitting that is EG.
Saying top team that top team this and stuff like that without actually stating what it means for oneself is kinda vague.

Come on 6 0 against Western teams mean nothing.

That was just due to mistakes by these teams though!

I find Azarkon posts very enjoyable when read with Donald Trump voice.

There are dozens of mistakes in every game even a team that's winning by a stomp. NB made mistakes but ultimately none of them were fatal or game losing ones. Pinning the loss of a game to only certain players is a huge disservice to teams. You win and die as a team, and if people on your team commit fatal mistakes thats a strike against the team as a whole.

Highly leveraged mistakes seems like EE's specialty.

Though Secret should, hopefully, be playing a ton better by the end of the tournament. It feels like Puppey hasn't quite figured out how he wants to use Universe, as well. (He played better in game 2, but it seemed like a lot of gold that didn't do much damage by the end.)

Kind of wish we had the MDL format. I'd have liked to see all of the teams play off in a Bo2 before a bracket.

i wish that one group round robin returned tbh just make it b02

gsl groups is unsatisfying and flawed as hell .. less games for fans of any teams even the shitty ones and more doubt on whoever progresses since they only play 2-3 teams to get to playoffs


4 Team Bo2s pretty much always result in tie-breaker games, but the GSL format is around playing all of the matches in a day. It works better as a broadcast format, for the most part. I just wish we didn't use them in all 3 Majors. (I know large group stages take days to play, but in a tournament with the option, I think it'd be very good.)

You are right but fans are as blind as they must to save their queens.

i mean they could do this for 2-3 day tournaments but valve events run long time anyways so they can definitely afford the 2 group b02 or 1 group b02

Why wouldn't they be?

cuz they don't play like one?
