I still believe in Alliance. Well, maybe.
What a disaster of a tournament format though.

Terrible format. All the time spent doing the group stages could be used to do a better LB. 8+ years of pro dota 2 and T.Os still do shitty formats and schedules.

Well at this point NiP is winning the whole Minor.

It always baffles me when pro teams don't draft stuns and have a surprised pikachu face when enemies TP out in their faces every fight.

As usual it is the compromise of the expensive physical audience tournament vs the interest of seeing all teams or eliminating a few before the audience stage.

Looking hard for Alliance. Think Ehome scales slightly better and they have a lead. The timing they hit will be hard to hold at a minimum.

these games are like my friggin pubs, "we have the lategame guys just keep farming"

well, normally I would agree with you, as I hate bo1s in general except for the first round of the LB. However, in this tournament it was exceptionally hard to start out in the LB: you had to be absolutely terrible. I understand LB2 being bo1 in that case. LB3 being bo1 is absolutely stupid though.

Format was different, but for a tournament where really only first truly matters, this was a decent way to do it. Upper bracket winner will win over 60% of the time, so the lower bracket Bo1s gives everyone a chance without dragging things out.
While Dota really is a Bo3 professional sport and Bo1s make strange decisions, everyone had a chance to win their first Bo3 against a seeded team. (Though rapid meta changes, like the previous Major, do happen.) So a single elimination with a cut-throat 2nd Chance isn't bad. Was actually some pretty fun Dota.
How badly did Alliance's laning phase go in game 1? I don't quite get how that draft died so horribly.

Rubick Lasso is so funny. Drag them for ages.

same old qojqva. he will be richer than his teammates and on par with his opponents, but his team will suffer of it and his lacksture impact will backfire his team.

Alliance's problem is all that actually matters is getting the Dazzle & Drow dead, so they attack everyone else.

Troll doing next to nothing. Lineup related of course but the Lina is doing much more.
|
You're against a Dazzle and have a lot of pop damage. Alliance is just throwing because all of their blink users can't just find the Dazzle.
Also, their vision game is terrible.
|
Also... you're against two of the best targets to get hit by Silver Edge... and the Silver Edge is on the other team.
|
Ehome has been playing smarter than others since they got to the lower bracket. That's really the difference from a lot of experience.
|
|
bad times for alliance fans, they had a serious possibility of winning this tournament
|
Xiao8 vs PPD, this will be good boyos
