This just reeks of jealousy. Plain and simple, Dendi and his teammates got a huge spotlight by winning the first international. If it were a chinese team, it might be different.


Also, strange and interesting plays are watch spectators become attracted to. For example, TLO and spanishwa (misspell).

if you are sick of Dendi/Na'Vi fans why not just watch Chinese stream and use Chinese forums?
Fame was like a drug. But what was even more like a drug were the drugs.

I know, right? If you are not a fan of SC2 foreigner players, you should just watch Korean streams and use Korean forums! >_>

If you're not a fan of SC2 foreign players, don't post a snobby thread about how you can't possibly understand how they could have any fans.

its pretty simple, it's easier for the "west" to connect with dendi than it is for us to connect with a chinese star, there is no community interaction and the chinese scene is almost entirely separated. Sure, we can appreciate their amazing mechanical skill, but they aren't showing any sort of community interaction or personality. It's similar to how people root for idra, stephano, etc over their korean counterparts.

I don't really understand why so many people have problems with "fanbois"... Is it really that bad for people to like a team, player, or are you just mad because you don't agree with them and you think your opinion is more important.

I don't mind Navi fans. I'm not really that big of a fan of any of the teams right now (I much preferred the 820/2009 era). However when you got fans like Azarkon, and various other fans that say "NAVI GONNA STOMP EVERYONE, MIND FUCKING EVERYONE, etc." it gets extremely annoying.


Remember, this is TL, not GosuGamers.net; you're expected to follow a certain etiquette.

People like his style of play. Like Chu in HoN, people liked his unconventional playstyle and he made a name for himself through doing it (Pudge and his domination during the International etc...) people come to the top of the pile through their unique playstyles or their personal character, just like Destiny in SC2, not the best player in the world, but he has character, Dendi has a unique playstyle and that's why I think a lot of people gravitate to him.

If your argument is that people are too gung-ho about their favorite teams then you have obviously never seen the Brood War forum or been in any esports chatroom ever. This is what competition and sports/esports is about and why people love it. It's not bad etiquette for me to show my KT Rolster pride, or my Na`Vi pride, or my Oregon Duck pride. It's the spirit of competition and love of your team and their players.

If your argument is that Dendi/Na`Vi is bad, you obviously haven't seen their accomplishments. This thread is pointless and should be closed.

comparing Dendi to Destiny is kinda BM, cuz Dendis skill within his game ranks way higher than in Destinys case. He is one of the best players and has proven it very often. period.

Because TL is so good at not bashing popular casters/players without outstanding acheivements?

its pretty simple... in the western scene na´vi are sort of the "last chance" against chinese... and so they are huge fan favorites since the last international.

now you might ask why dont people like the chinese teams as much. Simple its because we cannot identify whit people that dont even speak the language we use.
