That decision is reeeeeeeeeeeally questionable. Can't they rig up a 1v1 tiebreaker or something?

What an unusual turn of events, I guess its a legit way of deciding the winner since they are really crunched for time right now. Just really unexpected.

I think they use the game times like a bo3 format. Taking longer in a bo1 LoL match is like winning 2-1 in a bo3. That's a ding against you.

It would be best if they could set up tiebreaker matches but Pool B has to play and we don't know how many comps they have to run the tournament.

So much for playing safe and securing a victory. You would think this would affect calls in the future.

I think this makes some sense. And its not like you can basically do the group play twice.


Also, I am pretty sure this was the rule from the start, and every team should know that rule in advance.

It would have to be a 1v1v1 tiebreaker. No way that happening.

I haven't been following a ton of these kinds of tourneys, but didn't The International for DoTA2 also use game times?

Yeesh, what a terrible way to end this. Why couldn't they have just done a traditional 3-way tiebreaker in the background while group B was running? Or anything except kicking the clear best team in this group out of the tournament entirely?


This.
Do they not have enough computers or something?
Whaaaa?

Lets compare to SC

Cheesing and winning with 4pool is obviously better than playing macro game np

Pretty sure it is not a decision but a rule determined before the tournament.

I can see JBrights argument, but there's also the other side to the coins. This version of tiebreakers punishes you for picking teams that cement its power late. How is this remotely ok? If anything to it by KDR. In the 2 games agaisnt the other tie players your team went X/Y/Z, who ever has a better ratio wins.

Dota2 used the timers to decide ties, like what LoL just did. I've never watched competitive HoN so no idea there.

The only thing that can redeem this is if SK and eHome get to the finals.

Yes but LoL is totally different than DotA in terms of time and what it means to play safe, in LoL it can be a much bigger advantage to sit back , heal up, grab global buffs, grab relevant potions and than push out, while in DotA it is much more push-orientated because of the lack of a Recall button.
