Honestly in a double elim system I think china would've wound up placing a lot better also. IG.V put up a really solid showing against VP who are the current favorites.

They're called "experts" but they are really audience surrogates.

Why do people put a band-aid on their forehead -__-... Especially when it's for a TV shot, it's not like a band-aid on your forehead even does anything.

Sorry that these things upset me.

Fogged is decent but he's fairly quiet. Winter being there has been the best thing about the panels

I think the idea was there will be 5 players in the Ro8.

Winter always carries analyst desk and commentary. Just once I want him to have a good co-caster.

I don't understand what you're trying to say. And we have 10 Chinese players right now, but we'll be guaranteed only five in about two hours or less.

Draskyl, Merlini, Synd, Capitalist, Winter... Only 5 people in the scene I can think of that know a lot of stuff, and are charismatic enough to make very good analysts. Need to find some new talent somewhere.

You need to fill time with talking too and most experts are not good enough at that. Not everyone has the same role

Part of the reason the games are onesided is that they're based on group seedings : we're seeing the strongest team vs the weakest team in most of these matchups. (It would be even worse in this first set of matches if they used round robin for more accurate group seeding, I think).

My bracket is ruined, I had newbee winning the event, but I am not disappointed. I love upset stories and as a team Ad Finem are always fun to watch.

The weaker team won 4 of the 7 series though (according to seedings)
