The Shanghai Major Main Event Begins


March 1, 2016 - Dota Team






With the dust still settling after four days of intense Group Stage matches, The Shanghai Major Playoffs begin today. While the top two teams from each group have earned some breathing room and best-of-three matches, the bottom eight teams find themselves facing consecutive rounds of best-of-one elimination matches to stay alive in the tournament.

Each of these teams regroups with dreams of replicating the lower-bracket run that turned OG into Frankfurt Major Champions, but the strong performances of the top eight teams give no indication any will be obstacles easily overcome.

See how it all unfolds as the Upper Bracket Quarter Finals kick off with the reformed Alliance facing off against a determined Liquid on the main stage of Shanghai’s Mercedes-Benz Arena at 10:00 AM SGT.

Great post over at PCGamer about the 'tournament meta' that seems to have developed during the initial group stage:

Code:
Das Meta sollte chinesische Teams vollkommen ausschließen. Ich konnte mir heute das 1. mal nen spiel ansehen wegen der komischen Zeiten. Was CDEC - Newbee da "geboten" haben war an langweile nicht zu überbieten. Am ende gewinnt das Team das Tonnenweise smokes verhaut... War das langweilig... Dazu Lag's, Tonausfälle...alles was ich vom Major gesehen / gehört habe bisher ist ein Desaster...
^^ damn so anoyed i wrote in German dafuq :/

So a little translation attempt:
This Meta should band Chinese Teams completly.
I was able to watch the 1st game of the mayor becaues of the time zones.
What CDEC and Newbee "delivered" was plain boring.
The team wich is constantly fails smoke ganks wins in the end... - how boring.
On top of that: lags and sound issiues. Everything i have seen or heard was a desaster so far.
