Well if there's no incentive to be first seed (and I'm feeling from this that there isn't), then the calls for punishing or banning Liquid (which are everywhere right now) are ridiculous. They did not for one second act outside the boundaries of the tournament ruleset that Valve put out there. No matter how people feel about it.

Fun facts, originally DotA was played under League Mode, where Sentinel/Scourge were limited to picking only heroes from their taverns. Lich was globally banned in most competitions because it made Scourge so imbalanced.
Now go watch the tiebreakers!

Somebody please explain Twitch to me.
How in the hell do people have the disposable income to throw $100 at a time at people streaming who you could watch for free, and who are doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BUT PLAYING GAMES THEY'D BE PLAYING ANYWAY
People doing speedruns, people playing Isaac, DotA, LoL....I get following so if you like a guy for whatever reason you can see when he/she gets online and shit but subscribing/donating...I dunno I guess I'm just cheap or something but I don't get it. People have money and they want to support what they like. maybe wave is mad because no one likes him Hey I like Wave. I just don't watch his streams at all because he doesn't stream anything that I care to watch. He still has a sexy awesome voice though.
i know i was just joking and following the logical train of
"they support what they like" → "no one supports wave" → "no likes wave"
but if i wanted a serious answer, people will generally support things they like and if the dalai lama and the elder zosima taught me anything it's that generosity and love for your fellow man is the key to happiness

The Story:
First off we didn't know the whole tie breaker scenario when we started the game. Regardless before going into the game we were happy we got guaranteed top 2 after the match vs Shadows of the past where we made a pretty big come back.
We knew that we didnt want to reveal anything more for our bo3 tomorrow vs NAR which would determine a lot, basically who goes to ti. we wanted to try some stuff out like Queen of pain cause TC asked to play it. Then Jimmy wanted to really play kunkha or mag in the game (he's been begging to play kunkha or mag since last week, we let him play mag actually in our match vs EhuG on Sunday) so we picked kunkha for him. I was like fine, ill play support or qojqva will. Qojqva didnt want to so i said i'd play Shadow demon.
We just played the game out and had fun. THe start with the DD tree was hilarious and we were all just laughing, etc. We did do some clowny moves and cocky plays. People on the team knew that there wasnt much on the line FOR US and we literally thought we won no matter what after the start but unfortunately there were some questionable plays and the sand king and mirana kept picking us off. we were still trying to win, aka trying to land our dark seer kunkha combos but we just played it out relaxed cause we knew nothing was on the line for us specifically. Having played 9 games of stressful ass games the 2 days before.
We didnt wanna pick shit that we'd maybe run tmrw or thursday. why would we just put material out there for the other teams to look at, etc. every single draft matters.
That's Bulba's post on the matter, which is exactly how I saw it. I think people reading into it otherwise just want drama.

Go to Wave's stream and the first thing I see is him cheating at Dark Souls 2.
I don't know what to think of Wave anymore.
|
If ya ain't cheating. You ain't trying
|
Wave's stream right now is a massive catharsis for me. God this part was my worst nightmare.
|
I've been waiting for Wave to get to this moment for as long as I saw Wave fighting skeletons near the Firelink Shrines.
This is gonna be amazing.
|
if you like him so much maybe you should donate
|
Fuck those spears.
@Frudgey: I'm playing DS 1, not 2. And whatever it's only a little bit of cheating since it's just an optional little guy to kill that I looked up.
@kain: Can't donate unless you're partnered I don't think I gotta be more popular than 6 viewers/night for that to happen lolol
Once I hit 2100 tho 'cuz Yanger OP

The only ones who should be blamed are Valve. Round Robin has been proven time and time again to be a terrible format for competition and yet some people still use it. Unfortunately Valve have managed to brainwash the community so hard their very shit is viewed as heavenly.
ps: I'm still Salty as fuck over EP 3 and CSS.
