It feels like culmination of what each and every one of them has been working towards for the entire season. Not only are they given the full spotlight with the only match that is happening at that time, but the matches themselves are incredibly important, which means the teams are going to give it their all and provide a level of intensity for the casters to match.

So far they have all stepped up to the challenge and it's been great to see! I think we'll have to wait until we see the final playoff bracket and what the players think before we can judge the format itself, but from a casting perspective, I think this is much better than having them on a bunch of different streams at once whe

I get that it's not just on the viewers re the issues of tier 2 dota, but at the same time the tournament is barely hitting 1k views right now.

It's not like it's a tournament full of unknowns either - a ton of CIS teams are looking to prove themselves after TI including FNG's new Gambit lineup, Iceberg reuniting with Winstrike, Old But Gold riding once more, and Misha's new team featuring the likes of ILTW and Immersion. We've also got some promising new EU teams including Singularity - Saberlight's chance to prove himself outside of Hippmaniacs and Ad Finem - the Greek squad reunited minus Skylark.

The casting team of Lizzard and Kyle are also delivering a chill and insightful cast.
