I have no choice than to root for Talon E-sports to eliminate Team Liquid now, such a glimmer of hope to hold on to  Angry
Hope for long maps then. Talon are late game specialists and if they get to 50+ minutes their chances rapidly raise against any opponent Smiley
If somebody is looking for a bet, my play is over 2.5 maps in this one. That being said I had a horrible tournament so far and only yesterday managed a good day and return to the green.

Gaimin Gladiators are such a bunch of losers, I had them to reach the finals along side BetBoom and they fell to lower bracket at earliest opportunity possible, they also to be the to eliminate BetBoom and now they can't keep to together to get to the lower bracket semi finals and at least have a shot at getting their revenge against Team Liquid, although I'm glad Team Spirit dropped Liquid to the lower bracket finals, however, @CasperBGD now have a second chance to tie the game with Liquid facing Talon, I would have fancy my chances on GG vs Liquid than, than Talon getting past Liquid.

So... Since Greece managed to lose the final against Hungary on penalties, I guess that the waterpolo question will be a draw between me and Cls63. There is still box and UFC that will probably decide who will be the winner. I hope most of you will lose two points on those questions Grin

Frankly I wasn't expecting Hungary to win at all. As of Liquid's losing today as well I have started to think that I will lose this matchup. I hope that I can get a lucky draw. Otherwise losing two weeks in a row is going to be horrible for me.  Sad

I started the season really well actually but things started to be upside down for me recently. I'm not in a comfortable position anymore and need another good winning streak.

This was another miserable round for me! Well played LTU_btc! I have a small chance of a draw if GG or Liquid make it to the final and Verstappen wins by over 12 seconds 😂 This was the wrong time for Verstappen to be penalized😂

This was H2H question so I see that you got 2 points and your opponent got 1 point.. You chose the Hungarian made it to the final and that they win the final. Very well done!

I checked the spreadsheet list only one user who voted for Team Spirit in the final lol.

Kinda unexpected that @ulven picked Team Spirit but yeah it works out for his favor Team Spirit was never really the favourites to actually win or even get to the grand final. Their last appearances on Major were awful so its actually an outstanding performance that they managed to get this. Personally I still wont think they are going to win this if somehow GG get to the grand final through lower bracket

I have no doubts that GG can manage to have a good run even on early lower bracket run. They do this kind of run on DreamLeague Season 20 despite they have a week start on playoffs that just made them barely qualified. They manage to win on the finals against Betboom on a close fight. They are very resilient even if they are already on the brink of elimination.

I'm just surprised that Betboom exit earlier especially during their Upper Bracket run because they are always strong during early to mid game consistently but they can't close their on both their fight against TS and GG, it sucks that I thought they can meet GG on the finals.

Team Spirit just finished the game and secured a ticket to the finals after winning the 3rd round now Team Liquid will wait for one more team who will qualify between GG vs Talon Esports, at first I chose GG vs BB in the final but yeah BB was eliminated and now my hope is for GG who has to fight in the Lower Bracket Semifinals. Hopefully GG can go through 2 more games and fought Team Spirit in the finals  Grin I checked the spreadsheet list only one user who voted for Team Spirit in the final lol.

How come you have bad video? I always have perfect full HD streaming on Twitch. Only possible if your internet connection is bad.

That third map was something special let me try it explain trough football terms. Liquid was leading 4:0 and then Talon managed to equalize in last minute and we went to penalties. Where Talon was leading 5:4 and their goalkeeper just saved the ball but while they were celebrating that ball got wicked rotation and finished in the goal. Now following isn't possible in football but that goal was valid for 2 points and if it came half a second later it wouldn't stand.

Think of Zai illegal moves like Messi tying several defenders in a knot.

Now there was more tactic involved in that and they didn't just forget about Zai, they realized what he was doing at the end and tried to come back to stop him but his live teammates managed to slow them down enough to win.

Not really passing as Dota fan yet but you get maximum points for effort. I would never just try to listen to game Smiley

Bad internet for sure. I could still see the spider, just not sure what was going on. Commentary works for me for most sports, no idea why, but it has to be in English of course. I read today that that day in upper bracket was the best games in the sport ever. Feel pretty lucky I "watched".

I might do that more, for sure big tourneys like this seems worth it. GG are amazing in bottom bracket huh, they play in 10 minutes, I wonder if there is fatigue factor here. Liquid is well rested (and look like they're headed for the final) and if GG make it past Spirit, they'll be having very tired brains/fingers I assume.

I agree with cryptofrka on bracket system but we probably discussed earlier pros and cons. Brackets ensure good teams consistently finish -- hence domination of some teams in US sports and it seems DOTA, and ensures payouts of investment in good teams. KO ensures more underdog factor and gives more watchability for the neutral -- but it seems to reward investment less, but I prefer that! Hence I'm a fan of UCL KO and not the new league format that ensures survival for upper half of new UCL single league.

Exactly this is what I mean. Best result for me is draw but GG must go all the way here Sad

I saw yesterday the had to play 2 matches in like something less than 12 hours. Bottom bracket demands so many games to each final GG already played 4, while Liquid/spirit only 2.

Crazy!

That upper and lower bracket system is the best "knockout" system I have ever seen. If you ask me I would like to see it implemented in all sports. It gives best teams after the group stage one extra life to survive in tournament.

Just remember how many times it happened to Croatia to be best in the group or best in two groups and then to drop out in first game where there is no allowance to slip up in sports like water polo and Handball. While teams that slipped up before passed on. This way that group perfection gets awarded with upper bracket and one slip up is never enough to get you eliminated. This system rewards quality a bit more than chance and that is why GG is such a good pick in DOTA, they finish the tournaments strong even though they look mediocre in early stages.

I actually think it's horrible. Knockout should be exactly that - no second chances.
You lose the upper bracket final and then what? You play a lower bracket final as compensation?
Then you win there - and play in the final against the team that already knocked you out of the competition before. Makes no sense at all.

My Dota prediction is almost dead now that BetBoom lost against Gaimin Gladiators. I need the other teams to step up and stop them before they get to the finals.  Tongue

The other WC question at least gave me the point that I needed to secure the draw, and it all comes down to Gaimin Gladiators if i'll be getting a win or draw for this round.


My Dota prediction has gone down the hill as well too, my only way out now is if Team Spirit can help me drop liquid to lower bracket and then Gamin Gladiators get to exact their revenge on Team Liquid, asides that it's definitely going to be a draw for me this week again, after being in a good position to get 3 points.

If that's the case the club owners might need to path ways with the current team manager, and probably hire Jeremypwr or Buwaytress as its new head coach by buying them out of their current contracts.
I was hoping to get my win before we come to the sports I know nothing about but no such luck. It will all depend on boxing/MMA. I have some faith in my answers since a lot of people went with same but still the feeling is not good. I need a draw from those 2 questions, either we both get a point or nobody gets a point would be perfect. Travelling home from holidays today so I will probably be less present on the forum, unless there is some traffic jams or other unexpected circumstances.

Notblox1 will probably win, but at least I'll increase my bank in the process.
I'm a goal behind but should get it back in DOTA question hopefully, it will be up to the last 2 questions.
It is still anybodys game, but I am really surprised that I am currently leading, because I spend maximum two or three minutes answering all questions for this round.
Maybe this will be my new tactics from now on if this gets through, dont overthink everything, no big research investigations, and just fill up everything on my gut feeling  Grin

Croatia really is a good example (at least for us that follow Croatian sport). We have really a lot of examples where one slip up resulted in being kicked out, while others went further.

it is a bit subjective, especially if you ask all teams that went down on penalties series in football against Croatia on last two WC's  Grin Grin

but overall, it is probably a better system for quality, although I would prefer one bracket system, it brings more surprises, which is something I do like, and that brings sport more to life situation, you often don't get second chance in life too

Yeah, sounds like a good system. I'm not sure why it's not implemented into tournaments in other sports. Croatia really is a good example (at least for us that follow Croatian sport). We have really a lot of examples where one slip up resulted in being kicked out, while others went further.

Well this is a bit incorrect, you are guaranteed to get atleast 1 point from this. If either Liquid or Team Spirit lose on their next game, they will be going to the lower bracket so there is still chances for the team to get to the grand final through lower bracket . Well kinda unexpected to actually know someone will pick Team Spirit though

Man I hate this upper and lower bracket system in DOTA. It's hard (maybe even impossible) to predict who will face who in the quarter or semi final games. It's much easier in football where you have two sides of a draw and no team can change sides and meet before the final. Maybe I'm just not used to this system and that's the reason why it's so hard for me to predict. I usually just rely on luck with DOTA questions...
