Maybe another round in winners BEFORE grandfinals?

would add more teams to the main event, but with a prizepool of 10million, they can add a few more imo.


So would you give top 2 seeds a bye and only add top6 from groups into winners or have top8 seeds winners?

either way I think this format is best. it makes winners meaningful.

or add another 2 teams to each bracket?

Couldnt you just add 2 to winners and 2 to losers? would add another round to both brackets?

Just for some perspective, Germany that recently won the World Cup played a total of 7 games (6 to get into the Grand Final) while Newbee has currently played 19 matches (20 after this series) and a total of 27 games (28-29 after this series).


Saying you can get to grand finals from a hot streak is most likely becuase you are just looking at the "main event"-tournament

Well, same with the World Cup. Did they not have to play Qualifiers for the World cup also?

And I am pretty sure comparing soccer to dota is totally off base.

I put soccer WAYYYYYYY higher in the list of demanding sports. playing dota is very much near the bottom.
