The EG bias is honestly NBC Olympics level this tournament.

Stop trying to defend it. There is obvious bias towards EG. They can't rig the tourney to get them to win but they want EG to have the most exposure. Why show a video at all? Yeah it was a mistake, but why don't they just start with the Wings video if they want to show any videos at all. And maybe I missed it but did any of the other eliminated teams get a farewell video after they lost? I don't think so.

Another example of EG bias, compare the Fnatic and EG substitute situation at Ti 2014

Was not the Fnatic drama because Era was able to play but Fnatic wanted to perform a stealth kick after being invited?


era couldnt play for months then wrote an email to valve behind fnatics backs "pls let me play, even though i havent practiced with them for months, i still want to play ti". then valve made emails public and destroyed eras career.

Dunno, it still felt like a stealth kick.

Also, Xcalibur only popped literally under a month before the whole drama.

What salt? Even I knew DC had a shot of beating EG. I mean should I not be upset because my favorite team was knocked out?

I bet they're just delaying finals so LD and Maut have time to rest up before their Grand Finals cast

Might as well go for maximum reddit rage after the arcana

If that's what they are going for, then just have Black and Slacks cast the finals.


"Guys...we have a very exciting casting duo for the grand finals...it's...

Llamadownunder and Xyclopzz for game 1. Black and Lumi for game 2. Slacks and Pyrion for game 3. Ayesee and Lysander for game 4. And, in game five...ALL EIGHT!"

they played all other tournaments with excalibur at that point due to eras health problems. was just a shitty situation all over and poorly handled by valve and era.

so much padding
i get that it's to give DC time to relax and prepare for grand final but it's still a bit much
Heaven's Halberd is the most criminally underbought item in Dota. Together we can stop this.

I think they deserve a rest.

But it would be nice if they told us what time the grand finals begin, instead of just having to watch the panel stalling for time.
