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
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.
