Or do they do as in Bo3 where they just take the two best games? | ||

It's going to be the standard pattern: > You're playing against Liquid. > You don't ban KotL. > Liquid picks KotL. > You lose to Liquid. > You ban KotL against Liquid next game because you're not stupid. wether that'll be game1 or 2 idk On August 11 2017 04:32 Yurie wrote: Does the second series today count as well?

That's the reaon I did it, because Liquid (or empire) would be the only team with 2 sets of games today just like how you picked the teams that had 3 bo2's day1 instead of the ones that only had 2 | ||

Also, Empire could've blocked that during the draft. Drafting is among other things about not giving up those too-good combinations. | ||

They figured that if they just let people pick whoever, they'd just pick a legendary player or all carries. It was a cool move to distribute the roles by position this time around. In TI4 and TI5, the audience picked all of three different support players: n0tail (played support at the time) and Chuan as well as Puppey in both years. The all star match last year was all core players. It was irritating. | ||

Vp will be tilted I predict, you saw in Truesight how unstable they can get compared to e.g. OG So Liquid takes it but I predict super hard game if VP let kotl through on purpose, not just draft win | ||

Only Sumail and Universe will be hungry to win and I will probably give the edge to Sumail. None of these guys are so rich they don't care about $20k. | ||

Yeah, but I don't think it's so healthy in the game that you can literally watch the draft, see a super competitive game, then the 5th pick brood pick happens and you can literally see the game end screen play off right there. Same story with huskar. Huskar would be a killable force if armlet toggling wasn't so easy on him. Anyyyyway. Oracle is a hero that forces the huskar ban, and it limits how Oracle can be improved without making the game ridiculous. watever | ||

you know, there are still chances, you can still take gambles getting Huskar-ed is just plain depressing | ||
