I don't agree with his sentiment on MVP doing so poorly thus being undeserved of being in the winners since the teams below MVP flopped so hard but it's a little strange that winning your group just boils down to picking between the 3rd and 4th place teams. From what I understand, TI is supposed to be a marathon and the group stage is supposed to weed out the strong (top 4) from the weak (bottom 4). Being #1 seed is just a cherry on top of that, having the advantage of picking 1 of the weaker opponents. And even if you lose to them, you still have a 2nd life. Much better situation than anyone in bottom 4. You also can make an argument for OG winning group A actually not being a bigger achievement than MVP's top 3 in group B, as you can see that top 3 of group B was good enough to beat top 1 of group A. So in that sense OG's performance so far hasn't been better, they might have just faced the easier opponents. | ||

I never said they don't deserve to be in the winners. I agree that they deserve 4th in their group, but that doesn't put them on the same level as OG. Anyway, I appreciate you're able to see my perspective to some extent  | ||

DC finished strong in their groups though, so it'd be deserved, that's exactly what I want to reward. I hope you can see the flaw of thinking that the 2nd place team in groups would be a guaranteed top 4 | ||

Quality is subjective. I don't mind it, I"m sure some do.  | ||
