Not good or bad, just is. I think the more you know about the sport the more you'd cheer for actual skills, but when you don't know much about the sport you'd more likely to cheer your close affiliates. I don't think it's inherently wrong.
yeah its true for all sports but i dont think it matters that much or even at all how knowledgeable one is. most fans pick their team for very arbitrary reasons (like player x, team y is from my country or even like playstyle z).
i think that is a good thing tbh, because it really makes live events. you need people cheering for all teams to make for a great atmosphere.

During TI5 I remember watching a video someone posted on reddit of one visiting CIS player trying to escape out a window to avoid his fans while in China. It was pretty funny.
haha. that reminds me of your grubbies, your moons back in wc3 days. hordes and hordes of fans swarming them after the games.
which is why it's good to see what the fandom sort of is in different areas. the only way somebody like myself could get a chinese opinion on dota 2 is if i first made friends with some dota players who follow the pro-scene, who live in china, and/or understand communicate with other fans the same way.
it's their front yard, so to speak. and TL nadota, etc. is ours.
i talk to my friend about different esports all the time, and she's always surprised that when there's events for different games running at the same time, that some ro8 has many more viewers than a grandfinals for another game. blizzcon for example. if we take away the fact that the main stream is covered entirely in english, the main factor is usually which region the team is from. china vs china finals? USA vs USA quarterfinals? lol.
it just happens for a very obvious reason.
china/SEA (as you can see) are getting accustomed to watching for good dota, and not just for what happens at TI. certainly understanding english helps.
