It turned out that group stages are just 'official scrims' since the odds of getting knocked out in the main event are the same for higher and lower seeds.
I think having 4 matches at once saves them a lot of time
Players can also get constant rest time, I guess???
It's like they just wanna get things done.

sad to see liquid go after such good performances, basically one lose and u are out so it sucks
well such a long group stage would make sense if the seeding actually works. single elimination is fine actually. if seeding works. well i guess double elimination is better for a game like dota

what's up with this game. you play well in group stage, get a good seed, and then all too many times it doesn't matter. maybe the various tournament formats just dont work in dota.
thoughts?
