The swiss group System is cool, but not if its only for seeding. The strongest teams would win the first bracket Match anyway. Pretty useless format.

I understand your sentiment, but TI 4 got a lot of well deserved criticism, when several teams were already out once they got to main stage. People travel far to watch their teams participate.

In theory, it should give the ability to split the top teams apart within the Single-elimination bracket. However, so much changes at Dota2 tournaments during the time between Group & Bracket.

The tournament honestly should be double elimination instead of single. Then this group stage will matter more.

I am glad they got rid of double elimination. It is an awful idea, that supports losers. The more we can avoid Bo1s the better too.

I really want to see a GSL-style group stages *with* a draft. Top seeds would be Major/TI winners or some shit. Then everyone seeds into a double elim. It'd probably be way too many games though.

That could cause teams to play 5 hours non-stop. It is an horrible idea.

Bulba's gotta figure out whether he wants to feed the Naga or not, and then commit. Not committing to either is gonna lead to an 80 minute game.
