Keep the rage to a minimum. This includes wait times between games, music, and balance. Fair warning to all. | ||

I believe they're doing another drawing (maybe on stage, maybe backstage) to determine who will be facing each other in the single elim bracket. I think the teams will just need to get out of the group stage and 1st/2nd place won't matter. It could set up some meaningless games though and we all know how much everyone hates formats that set up those kind of games.

I hate seeing superior teams getting knocked out early in a tournament by weaker teams as much as the next guy, but I don't think any of those teams are significantly inferior/superior. | ||

Or maybe better yet, let the top teams from group play choose their opponent from the seeded teams! That'd be cool, too. And eliminate the chance of meaningless games. | ||

FML I'm gonna watch the Chinese cast, since they have DC on the casting team (ex-Coach of the EHOME DotA team, and one of the most experienced DotA casters ever). Even if he knows nothing about competitive LoL, there's still a 99% chance of his commentary being better than Rivington's, lol. | ||

I'd love if they would just stop hosting events at "shit for Europe" o'clock. Even just 5pm PDT would be a decent compromise for us and would still be a viewable time for all of America and for Koreans (8am) and I guess other East Asians. Would reducing the amount of European viewers massively really be worth the small boost of American viewers? I guess the people there might enjoy it more in the evening but meh. The rest of the event is at good times so good job with that. | ||
