Awesome, more time spent watching dota.

hell yeah! I'll be missing the first match of the play-in so this is good news!

And Merlini was wrong.

Why aren't they part of the main event?

because players don't want to be forced into playing stupid 1v1 matches while they should be thinking and preparing for matches that decide their TI fate.

The players are fundamentally paid for their entertainment value. Putting the 1v1s in the group stage diminishes that entertainment value. And honestly, I suspect that plenty of people who bought tickets did so expecting that this kind of match would be a part of the main event.

the slam dunk contest isnt during the NBA finals its during a break. the players should only be focusing on the main event not some silly 1v1 tournament

The main event is spread over 4 fucking days, you're really telling me there aren't going to be any breaks that they could put some 1v1 into?

If it's like last year, then the finals will be played in the main event.

so you're the lowest common denominator of the community that this stupid 1v1 shit is pandering too

When people bought tickets the 1v1 solo championship did not exist yet...
1
It was a pretty safe assumption, given that there was a 1v1 competition last year.
1
they should just record the games beforehand and play them during breaks. the only problem will be spoilers from the players which should be easy to stop if valve wanted
1
if its the same as last time, the finals will be played during the main event
1
nope, seems it is all at once.

Not according to Valve
So only the Finals will wait
