NA and korea will be really fun to watch too tbh it's sad as hell that neither iG nor LGD (nor TF obv) in their current form can stand up to DK. iG has the good ol' internal issues still not resolved (though they still have some change for magic), LGD insists on picking Magnus (which usually means Yao mid which means no midgame tempo whatsoever) and throws what made them great in the last half year over board (xiao8 Kunkka+BM mid anyone?) and TF is most likely not fit for being top tier yet either (sup Hao). This year the overall performance from Chinese teams (except for DK besides some blunders) is just really, really disappointing. | ||

This year the overall performance from Chinese teams (except for DK besides some blunders) is just really, really disappointing. What's wrong with Hao? He's been pretty consistent. He's had some bad games but not his fault really. If you wanna point fingers at anyone on TF it should be Mu, he's been the most feared weaver in china for so long and when he plays it mid he just falls apart for some reason. All his games don't have that crushing dominance in the mid lane like they've had in the months leading to TI3. Some change has to come to many of the teams, it seems to me they aren't adjusting too well to new strats. | ||

Lone druid has become less popular,od,dk more popular mids along side of the usuals. He's also kinda shitty against the popular carrys right now.He really can't do much against weaver,naix and since all other carrys rush bkbs or at least get it as the second item he just kinda falls off when he should have the most impact and late game he's borderline useless if you are even or playing from behind. A pretty popular strat was to run him and bat on the same team,that double blink combo was the most frustrating shit ever,it's a lineup that literally ignores towers and just dives you head long no matter where you are.Teams just moved away from those kinda things. | ||

Before I get some str, I feel so squishy and end up dying alot. Yeah you need the heart after manta. You might even consider the vit booster before manta if necessary/if you can get away with it. | ||

Next team in line would be LGD, not performing up to their expectations. There are up and coming teams like RisingStars and VG, which might get torn apart due to the "big names" shuffle. Might as well be like in 2010 all over again :D | ||

Burning said, he's very likely going to be retire and there also are rumors about Dai and 357 doing so as well. I personally hope Burning won't retire, or even better win TI3, but that's another story. Next team in line would be LGD, not performing up to their expectations. There are up and coming teams like RisingStars and VG, which might get torn apart due to the "big names" shuffle. Might as well be like in 2010 all over again :D yep, this is just imo but i think the fastest way to rejuvenate the stagnating chinese scene is to press a giant shuffle button with new rosters and players. not sure if ACE will allow that sort of thing, though ACE could very well go through some major changes seeing how it basically failed the scene this year with dota2 (super long downtimes, many delays, and that ECL controversy). im also hoping to see chinese teams go outside to play in western LANs besides TI but that may be a stretch | ||

I can't find radian and dire winrates in the tournament though, and 1st pick/2nd pick winrateS. My personal theory is that the dire pickers(alliance) like farming in the dire jungle, and the radiant pickers(navi) like fighting in the dire jungle. | ||
