    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?

      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.

            Single elims is bad for dota imo

              sad to see liquid go after such good performances, basically one lose and u are out so it sucks

                i hope TI7 is not played with such format. the double elimination is more fun actually

                  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
