Moms who whore their daughters out , next on Maury . <| sep |> Reposted this pretty quick <| sep |> We need to understand that Dota 2 pro scene is still in its development , there are some necessary testing that has to be made so the scene can selffunction without too much intervention of Valve , and too many conflicts 3 majors fucked up the schedule of tier orga , also didn ' t stop people from shuffling too much , thus the 2 major experience , even the window shuffle is experiencing testing . I don ' t know how long the testing will be necessary , perhaps next year it will be over as we are exponentially maturing . That maturity has been reached decades ago for many other sports , thus giving us a solid model for inspiration . The difference might be in the context of those sports . We only need a few desktop , and people can stay in a venue for one entire day , attending to more than 2 series . Things that can ' t really happen in physical sport like football , rugby . This is simply what double elimination accomplishes , in a better and more exciting way . I don ' t find it exciting specifically because the 3 rd is actually a loser . And also the winner of that game is not having the same freshness as the winner of the WB . It takes away a lot of appeal to me . And I ' m saying that as a EG fan . I should appreciate the LB more as they give another chance to EG , but knowing EG has to play 58 games is a toll kinda . One extreme example that solidified my hatred for that formatI ' m also not a fan of giving second chances in competition . Either you are the best when it matters , or you are not . If you lose to win better , later , it ' s a bit unappealing to me . Too often I said myself it ' s OK , EG lost that game , we still can comeback like we used to , and I kinda hate myself for saying that . Imagine if TI 6 had been single elimination , DC would go out in the first round . Yeah perhaps , but you know . If a weaker team is winning against a bigger team , and eliminating it out of the tournament , the wow effect is much bigger as the bigger team does not have any cushion . I don ' t think that we can easily talk with if . The mentality of players wouldn ' t be the same at all . Edit That 3 rd place game was actually just a wild utopia of mine . I don ' t think that players would actually agree on that , it would mean the 4 th place would have less money prize than normally . Also that ' s not part of a tradition . So they might not even find their motivation for that . Perhaps I ' m wrong , but I ' m not betting on it .
