They could have done the drawings after the first Elimination games were finished, as there's no reason not to at that point. | ||

Misery and w33 really worked well playstylewise. it's a shame, but at least DC is doing better now than with Yawar lmao. Why doesn't Puppey draft? | ||

I'm confused what people are referring to in terms of being "cfg heavy". Also EG and Secret just haven't been particularly impressive throughout with these lineups, Secret obviously even less so. players may need sometime to get used to the new set of hotkeys, which is huge. | ||

EE drafted at MDL, but I'm pretty sure Puppey was back to drafting at Shanghai. So, they switched around even in the previous roster formation. | ||

He did draft against Wings pretty sure. They started the tournament trying out EE drafting against NaVi, probably due to the team just not being confident with Puppey drafting atm. | ||

I still can't believe how much people hyped Yawar on DC despite all of his teams performing poorly and him teamhopping like a hot potato | ||

It is only tight between teams, because the lot of them are in the same hopeless loop. Valve going in the opposite direction and inviting more, is clearly not the answer. Yeah, and group stage is great for pulling in views without a ton of pressure to perform due to double-elim. :D | ||

Yeah, next time they can't decide which team to invite they should just lower the amount of invites instead of raising them. | ||

The only way it goes the wrong way is if they KEEP inviting the underperfoming teams , i have 0 issues with TL/OG/Newbee /EG/Secret(defending champions) for this major , BUT after Secret being bad for so long they shouldnt get an invite for the next Valve event , EG are debatable but probably wont invite as well , it should be minimum top 6 or having a great post major season to get that autoinvite | ||

you could say mineski is an expected W, but MVP winning against LGD means they play. which means EG plays LGD for the marbles. what happened was MVP lost and EG play them anyway. they had to be rather lucky to play the two weaker teams with the winner's side team beating the other stronger team. | ||
