Whatever happened to the old 1v1 matches? They might be more fun than all the recent all stars match.

Conclusion: remove all-star entirely, nobody has any positive feeling about it at this point.

Only good all-star match I can think of is TI4's where they revealed Techies or maybe TI5's with the 10v10 with the fans and that guy who called himself 420 Booty Wizard

The 10 vs 10 with fans was pretty good.

The problem is that Dota doesn't really lend itself to these sort of goofy casual matches. It takes too long to gain the experience and items necessary to even do cool shit in Dota, and everything you do directly impedes the other team from doing stuff unlike in other sports where there is a constant dynamic between opponents

Give the "all stars match" to the teams that failed to make it out of the group stage. But mix up the players for each side.

Why keep using Tiny as midcarry? The effect is not so great. High output damage heroes sound better in this meta.

Because tiny in this patch is a high damage output carry. The issue is that there are a total of 3 heroes in this game that can enable his high damage output: void, enigma and tide (and a good amount of RNG required). Don't ask me why EG never picked any of those 3 with their Tiny picks when other 4 teams in top 6 run this strat and the other one runs a variation on it without Tiny.

At this point, world peace seems more likely than EG not falling apart when it matters.

Not surprises by the result tbh. Also Liquid gaining crazy momentum might end up a possible top 3

What do you do when you don't really like any of the teams left in the tournament?

I just don't have anyone to root for. Maybe I should bandwagon LGD so we get a home town victory

Yeah I'm between Liquid and LGD now. Liquid winning would be such a crazy story, full lower bracket run.

I really hate Liquid and OG, so I guess I'm all in on the LGD train!

LGD deserves this TI. They were so close last year.
