Agreed, I know people don't like it, but I much prefer single elim.


Let's take a guess how many 1/2 (in groups) finishers end up making it out of Ro16?

I'm guessing 5.

group stage would be at fault, not the SE bracket


Yeah, you're right. I think single eliminitation is fine, even good... Just the seeding and stuff previously needs to be done right.


It's tough because there aren't regular seasons or anything that can determine seeding easily, though. Like, how else do you do it besides group stages?

That chase on Mirana bot might have cost IgV the game, he bought so much time while still having buyback.

If it was up to me, I would have 2 groups of 8 (well ideally 2 groups of 10)... They all do a Bo2 round robin, and then bottom two get eliminated, and 1 from Group A plays 8 From Group B, 2 from 7, etc.

The TI that had a 16-man round robin was 120 games... A Bo2 round robin for 8 teams with 2 groups is 112 games, for 10 teams it's 180 games. Maybe with 10 teams a Bo1 round robin would be enough, which would make it 90 games.

Its the venue too. Wang Theatre has a similar feel to Benaroya Hall compared to an arena.

Would have loved to see a game 3 but Ig.v werent clean enough. Both the Luna chasing that kill to T4 after the mid ranged rax and the buyback was unnecessary. Should have been a B line to the bottom rax or out by Luna. Even if she dies you might already have Megas with Alch ready to defend.

In the heat of the moment its not so clear of course. I think Luna also got tricked by the Weaver Aghs.

Not really. What cost them the game is going full pub after that alchemist fight.

Not enough time. Group of 8 Bo2 takes 3 days + potential tiebreaks.

Slacks is making the interviews too much about himself and not about the interviewee. And he's not really helping the players who don't speak english well as much as he could.

I agree. I'm sure if the luna ran to the bot ranged rax, she could kill it and there was nothing VP could do about it.

Yeah, 4 streams = 40 games played per day, so yeah, with tiebreaks and all, 3 days for everything - since 90 or 112 games played depending on the format.

Then at 4 Bo3 a day: 2 days for Ro16, 1 day for Ro8, and then 1 day for semifinals + finals.

So that's a week long event, not much different from the 6 they are doing now.

More people would be crying about SE if VP lost. Group stage results dont matter once the bracket is set. It doesnt matter how many 1/2 teams make it out of Bo16.

You can do a bigger group stage and seed top placed teams further in the bracket but people complained so much about TI4.

Single elimination is just awesome. Shit actually matters, but they sould determine seeding earlier so we can go straight into the action like in tennis.
