For some reason I'm really happy for Fly? GG OG

 

[Artanisix]

goodbye

 

[G.ZZZ]

YUROP

 

[twobear]

OG has played 26 games compared to Secret's 17.

Having to win 7 extra games and Secret got an extra day off.

yeah fair enough, having an extra day off probably more than makes up for the fact that secret are the only team in the UB that were eliminated after their first and only loss

wp OG, very well deserved

 

[Twookie]

hahaha the FUCK?

 

[shira]

OG HATERS WHERE YOU AT????? MOON HATERS WHERE U AT??? HONTRASH #1 TEAM IN DOTA, MOONMEANDER ON TOP OF THE DOTA WORLD, THE HONTRASH CONQUISTADOR.

 

[Technosteve]

goodbye

Viva Peru

One of the nicest guys in Dota, I'm very happy for him.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

Well pleased for OG, great for the scene.

So happy for Fly and n0tail. I think this is their first major win in terms of prize money and just overall prestige. Been rooting for them since their days in Fnatic, they look so happy

[misses bull]

Time to start the 6.86 shit posting

 

[SilentRacoon]

Boring finals, last picking Alchemist was the last nail in the secret coffin.

Anyways, well deserved win to OG, and I'm happy to see the top 2 teams leading the train right now are two recently built rosters, keeps the competitive scene fresh.

 

[Satch]

TI1 - WB winner
TI2 - LB winner
TI3 - WB winner
TI4 - WB winner
DAC - LB winner
TI5 - LB winner
FFM - LB winner

SFIV
EVO 2009 - WB winner
EVO 2010 - WB winner
EVO 2011 - WB winner
EVO 2012 - WB winner
EVO 2013 - WB winner
EVO 2014 - LB winner
EVO 2015 - WB winner

Not the most fair comparison, but this format seems to give LB a chance, rather than a huge advantage. LB is only ahead so far because it's an uneven number. There's lots of other things to consider (like the one-game lead the format used to give), but I think it's interesting to think about.

I kept my thing to one tournament series per game, but I think a full breakdown could be cool.

 

[aeolist]

wait is anuxi ok? she might have just had an aneurysm

 

[NormalFish]

tournament format is fine. People just like to complain

 

[abunai]

congrats OG, nice job fly

[Satch]

thanksgiving is on the 26th so if they dont do it early this week we probably wont get it until the week after

 

[shira]

5 days for DAC2. WTF.

 

[lucebuce12]

Gotta say, that was just a damn good tournament.

Great matches, very few technical issues, everything on time and it even had a freaking underdog victory.

How much more can you ask for?

I think the winner's bracket giving an advantage over loser's bracket is the point of the system, though. Bracket resets at GFs happens frequently in FGC tournaments and they're always hype. Logistically you can't make teams play 2 BO5s for grand finals in DOTA, but in a vacuum there's no way the current system is fair. However, there's the problem of having the most "fair" finals vs having the most enjoyable finals to watch, and I think there's merit to saying that having the teams just play a straight BO5 without extraneous rules makes for the best viewing experience.

But since the seeding was done via groups and half the teams started in the loser's bracket, comparisons with a "true" double elim bracket aren't valid either.

4 days for DAC2. WTF.

They really should just do 2 majors a year and then TI. It's going to be so wierd having a major in March, another in June, and then TI in August. Very little time between the third major and TI.

In other Dota news, we are putting the finishing touches on the Desert Map and the underlying technology, and we’re hoping to have it ready around the middle of December when our next update will be released.
