Grats to the two coolest teams of the tournament being in the final. I wish the coolest instead of second coolest would have won but oh well it was great anyway

wings was smart to pick a token pudge game or two to throw so they don't LGD right out of the tournament

9 million dollar pudge pick

This is kind of true. I think they may want to consider restructuring things to give the grand finals its own day like TI4, but not deciding the upper bracket finalist on the very first day like TI4.

You could argue that part of Wings strategy over the long haul was to simply wear DC down by playing a losing round and drawing their day out. I know Secret played seven games of Dota in a day (and lost every single one!) but they weren't all that intense and stressful.

Does anyone have a screenshot of the sign people are mad about. As far as I can tell it had something to do with Trump, US East servers, burritos and tacos. But I can't find a pic of it.

It's smart though. I like it being the same day because it gives an upper bracket advantage.

I mean, if it makes you feel any better I had the game uninstalled for two years and this tournament has me considering dabbling in the game again. Which is saying something given the fact all the dudes I used to play it with won't touch it anymore. :v:

I usually come back and play dota again around TI time, but this year I managed to resist the temptation. I will probably go kick around some bots tomorrow though.
