c9's last 3 series are against the 3 worst teams in their group (aside from c9 maybe?) so they are still in decent shape to avoid elimination. Also their very last series is against Hellraisers, who are also 1-9 right now. That's gonna be an intense series. Scientists will likely be baffled

That Empire ig.V game was something else, but man i feel for Empire. I would like to see more gold sinks for ultra-late game so that teams that are way ahead don't get penalized for filling up item slots. Stuff like a 3rd BoT recipe level for 5000 gold to give yourself permanent boots of travel MS without an item (everyone was walking around at ~300ms, it just feels silly), or recipes that activate one of your backpack slots for 10,000 gold. What are your alls' thoughts on that? Would they be OP? Yeah. But that's kind of the point, something to reward teams for getting that far and having a big gold lead - they should have something to spend it on.

would be pretty insane if c9 actually doesn't make main event, so now i am hoping this happens

i like how the slots are limited and people have to choose carefully... wouldn't want a 7th slot thing personally. would be down to see more upgraded versions of items, like helm of dominator level 2 where you can dom an ancient creep. maybe int heroes should get their own version of moonshard too

Definetly no-no for 7th items etc, we dont want games to go for that long because someone is farming that. There could be some really expensive upgrades to BoT's3 and maybe to Gem-recipe so that u dont need itemslot for those but nothing more. The teams have to be able to finish games with their gold advantage or they get punished and the other team gets 6 slotted too.

Kinda sad to see Hellraisers get wrecked so hard. Swiftending was looking amazing in the quals but I guess TI is only for the big boys.

have heard lots of ppl say that hero sucks (like ccnc) but damn a ton of teams like to pick it. imo it's a really good hero with ridiculous amounts of utility with sacrifice and frost armor (late game relevance)

63 minute game and counting gogogo. I really really hope it all comes down to the series vs HR

Arc Warden is like one of the most annoying heroes to play against, hero is way too good at base defense

jfioeifjowjef DC losing to 1-9 team Kappa

yeah i agree with this 100%. I discussed this with kirby a long time ago and we agreed it would just lead to even more dragged out games with cores farming that 10,000 gold recipe or upgrade to be ultra-safe.

I'm trying to think of a way to reward objective based gaming but unfortunately all it will do it steer the meta in a push-heavy lineup to forget killing heroes completely

1 out of 20 games being a marathon slog fest isn't really a problem imo.

Does it say somewhere how the seeding works for the bracket? Is it just record or is there some kind of choosing system.
