It would be no surprise if Liquid goes home after this cutoff. I don't hope it but they seem to struggle at this years DAC. On the other hand it would be no surprise either, if LGD is the last standing Chinese team after that day. This tournament feels pretty close!

For the 4 teams in the LB R2 Bo1, it's a Bo1 to decide for DPC points or not. That's brutal, but, well, everyone now has practice.

so the first four teams that lose the bo3 are eliminated and then from that point its bo1 through the lower bracket to top 4 for the teams that lose in the "first" round of the upper bracket, that's some awful shit. I somehow completely missed that when looking at the bracket.

Can't believe that our Minors weren't all that bad but the last two Majors were all about shoving as many Bo1s down our throat as possible. The DPC was pretty nice up until this bullshit started happening.

Are they ? Seems the teams that lose their bo3 aren't eliminated but go to the lower bracket (where it's bo1)

I don't think anyone played well on Newbee that game. Usually when that happens, it's because it's a total outdraft.

it is invoker issue that he is very passive until he gets 2-3 big items. compare it with puck or DK which only need < 3k gold item to make things happen on map.

Nope they are eliminated.

So that lose against newbee with mid rubick was quite dumb in retrospect...I hope it won't be even dumber after next bo3 ><
