Analyst and statsman Ben «Noxville» Steenhuisen commented on the new format of The International and compared it with The Frankfurt Major 2015.
Noxville:
A lot of people seem confused by the new TI format because of all the different stages.
It's very similar to the Frankfurt Major except :
* there's 5 teams per group
* the groups are are Round Robin not GSL (and the 5th team is eliminated from each).
* all 16 teams start in UB.
some more minor changes:
* all non-group games are bo3
* groups seem to be bo2, not bo3 (but unconfirmed)
