It's fine ff group stage is a proper round robin to seed properly


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.


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



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.


Its one extra day. I meant no time in terms of what Valve had set for this tournament. The group stage the way they are right now is also very clean for the teams, one day games one day off.

If they could add one day to the main event, I would like them to do a DE + SE mix with SE once you have top 8. You only add 4 Bo3s. I have it in more detail in the format thread but essentially 1 round of WB and 2 rounds of LB then SE.

Pure SE is bad it Valve need the ranking of the teams to matter. A mixed way gives a slightly better idea of Top8.

Semis would be possible at future events cause you only need one more day.
OR
If they dont have to have all 16 teams make main event we can do 8 teams main event with all Bo5. It also increases the flexibility of what can be done to determine the Top 8. Too many people would complain though so it probably wont happen.

The only truly fair way to decide a winner is a single group round robin. Each team plays the other 15 in a best of 3 and whoever finishes top is the winner. No knockout rounds. But that would take too long and be far less hype than knockouts.

if it wasn't because intra-regional dota isn't big enough we could have stable leagues for places where pings line up and then TI as the sort of CL to end the season

i mean if you do a yearlong league with 10-20 teams maybe you can fit it, but nobody would want to travel that much

I'll be surprised if EG wins this. They couldn't do it with PPD and I haven't seen cr1t outdraft any team that is at least on EG's level

I think pure DE would rank teams better than the mix, but SE has more hype, so it's a tradeoff. I think a mixed system where it's DE into SE could be good for sure, keeping the hype, but getting better order of the results. The only issue is if it'd be too confusing for people, which it really shouldn't be, but sometimes super simplicity goes a long way.

LD, I have to complain again. I want to wager my LD coins with other people on who will win games.

EG will take this easy.
