Just realized this amazing group stage is followed by arguably the stupidest bracket i have ever seen in my life....what on earth are you playing a full round robin bo3 group stage to go into a seeded bo3 round 1 bracket.....for then every lower bracket game is bo1??? lol

I wish Valve would force every minor and major to be the same format that they themselves choose, this is crazy lol.

Just uses the format;
GSL Group Stage > Bottom 4 teams bo1 loser bracket > Top 4 teams upper bracket bo3 > continue as normal.

The reason for that imo, is just because you deserve some hindrance or consequence maybe a better word, for finishing bottom 2 in the group stage and some "reward" for being in the top half. I guess only having "1 life" in the bottom stage and two lives in upper bracket is enough, but i don't mind that either way.

For a Major-level tournament, this lower bracket wouldn't be as ideal. However, for a tournament like this where 1st place is what really matters, it's a different approach. Bracket is seeded due to groups, so if you finished top in your group, you should roll over the first round. Though Lower Bracket Round 3 should be Bo3.

And, at some level, you should be able to win a chain of Bo1s if you think you can make it to the Major.

Ace's stats are always better than his play looks like, but that was a draft that was fairly easy to break by Boom. Shut down the Ursa and NiP had no damage for a long time. ppd has his this problem since he came back from the year off where too many of his drafts just lack damage or damage that's easy to apply. First fine if you have a broken pos 1 like Medusa, but Saksa's Tiny had the 2nd most hero damage on the team that match. Sustain damage can work, but it's like Pros haven't watched a single Ursa game in the last two months. Unless it's RTZ, everyone just kites the bear and it spends all team fight running in circles.

NiP is going to have to hold Ace's hero to late in the draft. Teams have him figured out if they can counter-pick him.

Wow Forward vs Ehome later on

That has the potential to be one of the worst games of the year

Moxxi still slips up a lot. Her casting, voice and pronunciation are all good, but her ingame knowledge and concentration are messy at times. If players make bad plays it isn't "unlucky", if your co-caster talks about a hero you shouldn't miss which hero he's talking about and then guess wrongly. If you don't know how to play a ball don't play it or keep it neutral enough.

In fairness I get that it's hard, she's fairly new to this, talks a lot, has to multitask getting what's going on in the game, it's easy to slip up. With Lizard being more of a passive/chilled co-caster there are also lots of gaps to bridge. But she has to continue to improve if she wants to stay next to the t1 casters.

I like Moxxi, as you said voice and pronunciation is good, better than most of the others that get high pinch and can annoy the hell out of me. Think her knowledge is ok as she is not the analyst, and think she makes lizzard better. Lizzard is my favorite caster now Synderen isn't casting.
