I mean only 4 teams get eliminated through Bo1. At the end of the day you gotta start sending people home at some point

Yeah that's fair, it seemed shocking before I had considered all the angles. I mean, last year six teams didn't even make it to the main event period, so.

There's no standard build other than Soul ring. I've seen fight heavy builds with manta into deso, ratting builds with necro although that's not preferred anymore, BKBs, etc.

DK Phobos of VP went naked orchid, no boots yesterday against EG and they won that game.

First round of losers bracket main stage is Bo1. Don't know why this is shocking considering every TI so far has had Bo1s in, at minimum, the first round of the losers bracket.
TI4 did not have Bo1 in the lower bracket.

Firebatgyro posted:

You get a entire week of Bo2 sets to make sure you don't get to the Bo1 lower bracket, if you're there you deserve it, its not harsh at all
The only reason there is Bo1 in the bracket is to get all the teams time on the main stage. It is harsher than a normal tournament bracket.

the background behind that sneyking/swindlemelonzz video is that sneyking couldnt make it to all their matches so swindle benched him for zfreek (his brother, who was pretty poo poo at the time iirc) and that was the resulting conversation

A lot of brood builds skip boots altogether because webs give you enough movespeed in lane. Zai goes treads because he gets involved early with brood
