Actually if Curse beats Blaze, Blue team will have had a 100% winrate in this group.

This tendency is really worrying.

The system used in MSL was the best. It was essentially a double elimination group stage.

Riot NA Qualis had this setup as well. But honestly, any format that doesn't include time is automatically better than what they're using for IEM right now.

It's getting to the point where in games between "close" teams, Blue/Purple imbalance seems a bit too relevant.


they should seperate first pick and blue side and see where that leads to.


No they should always go for a Bo2 instead of Bo1's. As many have said it's alot more fair and easy to balance points out.


yes, but that fixes only symptoms.

It doesn't fix the problem as it applies to map imbalance in Bo3s/Bo5s--the team that gets to have Blue side an extra time gets an advantage.

... which is why blind pick for the last set is ingenious.

How are the sides determined at IEM for the RR? Coin flip?

I don't think that solves the issue either, though it lessens it if you believe that 1st pick has a significant draft advantage.

If you think the draft advantage is significant in relation to the map advantage, then it should be purple team that gets 1st ban/1st pick.

Just in general though, the draft system needs a re-haul, as the pick/ban phase is just respect bans/OP heros 99% of the time. Stealing Dota's drafting system is a start.

But this is going off-topic so I'll leave it there.

thats how they used to do it in go4lol which i didnt mind, but i think 2nd pick is probably as good if not better in most cases.

Other than Azubu Frost Fnatic should be able to have a pretty good group stage, I hope this knocks down some of the Rekkles hype when people realize that if Fnatic can win games with Yellowstar, Fnatic as a team wins games not the ad carry.

purple having 1st pick should be done first.
Because only then you can collect data regarding map imbalance as right now we only have blueside+firstpick data.
Only by it being seperated you can actually know if and how much blue and purple are imbalanced.

Oh what, Blaze vs Curse is not streamed? zz


Happy Birthday Shake.

No Blaze x Curse isn't streamed, sadly. Even now that GG vs MYM has ended, they don't switch games :/

Thanks. Now I remember why I rarely watch IEM. Saint was jungling Ezreal, too.

MYM vs Curse ~22:20 MYM
Curse vs Gambit ~32:50 Curse
Gambit vs MYM ~26:00 Gambit

So if Curse wins Azubu/Curse is in, if Azubu wins Azubu/Gambit are in. MYM can't make it. Shame, I really enjoyed Czaru's play.

Or one team picks drafting order and the other picks side of field. No reason that you have to hard-link drafting order to side of field.

Azubu wins against Curse, while Gambit beat MYM. Teams to advance from Group A are Gambit and Azubu. #IEM #Katowice

Ah, had the stream down while I was searching for times. So Gambit will be moving on. They were separated by ~3 minutes with MYM. Which is sad if you consider how much closer MYM played Azubu than Gambit, but those times don't count.
