Interesting Winstrike choose to play against Drow again. It has been the most impressive strategy for VGJ.S this tournament in my eyes, winning with revealing strat in first phase. Similar to Liquid brood.

if you rush teams between games in a series, you will get crappier series because they'll have no time to think about what they did wrong or what to do next. They need at least 10 minutes before the draft starts.

You also need the more boring stuff such as stretching, bathroom and food breaks. Tons of smoking Dota players as well that wants to take a smoke between games (which I personally don't care about) which would effect their play a lot.

A game including draft is around 45 minutes most of the time, often longer. The breaks tend to be 15-20 minutes. This is roughly the same ratio as soccer has?

draft is... kinda exciting? last pick definetely is and those unexpected but not that much, not sure i would not call it part of the actual fun

Then we can agree to a difference of opinion. I always watch draft at TI, I might skip parts of a slow game.

If draft should be fixed then playing Bo1 and doing draft outside of stage such as before CM mode existed in Dota would remove that phase fully. What was the mode, AP??

this centaur troll is a pretty good combo because stampede helps troll not get kited or bursted into oblivion (assuming cent goes aghs)

winstrike probably gonna get smashed anyways because a veno drow draft, yikes

Jack is now a draft coach in the top tier of Dota... He really deserved those panel spots he used to get. :D
