Secret finally wins a game.

 

[scarybore]

wtf Liquid?!

 

[lv2 pidgey]

liquid plz

 

[K.Sabot]

Secret breaks the streak!

 

[Sibylus]

 

[mysteriousmage09]

SECRET WON ONE! PogChamp

 

[woodland]

This is my nightmare

Felt like bat was trying to hurl the game into the cosmos for anyone else to get

 

[CB3]

That wasn't pro dota. So many mistakes on both sides. I couldn't believe what i was watching.

 

[t0rment]

liquid playing like garbage lmao

 

[Anno]

Lol. Secret win a game and have a chance! Then Newbee lose to a 15-1 PA and now they don't. Oh well.

 

[mfaex]

MVP won so Secret is in losers. Now they play to send Liquid to losers too.

 

[Shorty11857]

MVP won a game, Secret is officially lower bracket

 

[K.Sabot]

Well guess it's time to hope for tiebreaker between MVP and Liquid at least.

 

[Chris R]

MVP won, Secret lower bracket for sure.

If they win though a playoff needs to happen? They will have 2-0'd Liquid but were 2-0'd by Fnatic, Fnatic was 0-2'd by Liquid, so it's circular...

secret finally wins but newbee loses to MVP lel

Fnatic is lower bracket confirmed too.

 

[Chris R]

Fnatic is lower bracket confirmed too.

I know. If Secret wins there are 3 teams on 5 points for 5th/6th/7th

Secret is 2-2 against the other two teams
Liquid is 2-2 against the other two teams
Fnatic is 2-2 against the other two teams

If Liquid doesn't win, they're also in lower. If Liquid wins they play MVP in a tie breaker for the last upper bracket spot.

They won't do playoffs for lower bracket order. That would just be cruel. Although I don't know how they'll decide it.

 

[shira]

Secret guaranteed lower bracket

 

[Drkirby]

Er, if Secret wins, isn't there a tie breaker between MVP and Secret? They should both have 6 points, and Valve never uses head to head.

Edit: Oh wait, 2 wins is still only 2 points. I for some reason had it in my head this was one of the events where a 2-0 was 3 points. Oh well.

I actually wish it was, and every other tournament that does 2 game series. Seems to make sense to me although it seems like basically every player out there very publicly hates it.

Liquipedia says head to head then record against lower seeds then coin flip for non 4th/5th ties.

I just don't know what they do when there are three teams. They are tied head to head, but Liquid didn't 2-0 VGR, so then do we not count them, then it's just Secret and Fnatic, in which case it's Fnatic in the head to head.

All assuming Secret wins tho Kappa

Most likely a round robin of coin flips.

 

[waxinlyrical]

I was working so I couldn't see Secret vs Liquid game 1. Go go Envy-chan~

 

[Usobuko]

Cmon liquid.

Make it to the tiebreaker please.

 

[lv2 pidgey]

im hoping jerax rubick makes some god like plays to save liquid

 

[Drkirby]

Go Secret, I want MVP in the upper bracket!

 

[Usobuko]

choked so hard today, likely 0-4 and sealed their fate.

OG is going to pick MVP and obliterate them again.

 

[KingKong]

shit at least Secret has looked bad since the last major, everyone was considering Liquid a top 3 team

 

[LucidMomentum]

Do the higher placed teams get to pick who they face? That will make for some true underdog matches.

 

[aeolist]

Go Secret, I want MVP in the upper bracket!

i'd like this but i also want secret to lose every possible game

 

[waxinlyrical]

Pie with only one point in Fireblast?

 

[lv2 pidgey]

looking bad for liquid

 

[theprodigy]

If I'm interpreting the tiebreak rules correctly Fnatic and Secret will still be 6th and 7th respectively regardless of the result, this only determines whether Liquid gets in a tiebreaker for 4th or not.

edit: derp I'm dumb I thought the comparison to teams outside the tiebreak started from the very top not the team immediately below

 

[aeolist]

what a shit game from both sides

can secret and liquid both lose?

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

looking bad for liquid

never underestimate the secret throw

 

[woodland]

i'd like this but i also want secret to lose every possible game

Truth

 

[LucidMomentum]

Real fact:

I have a Secret S4 jersey.

Why? We all make mistakes.

[lv2 pidgey]

i want to beliEEve

 

[aeolist]

who can throw harder

 

[woodland]

Anyone remember back in like 2011 when occasionally the servers would get weird and -wtf mode would be activated?

That would make this game 100x better

 

[Eleuin]

this game is a trainwreck in slow-mo

The on-fire Dark Seer never got old.

You never give Envy the Anime Terrorblade. GG.

 

[Chris R]

Ok, so now time to see what happens with the ties.

 

[woodland]

I think I'm done with Dota for a bit

 

[Usobuko]

OG must have this wide grin on their face now. Haha.

 

[waxinlyrical]

Secret won

It makes no difference, they are still in lower bracket

I hope that gives them some confidence for the main event though.

 

[LucidMomentum]

OG must have this wide grin on their face now. Haha.
