Being a fan of a sports team is only loosely connected to geography. It matters, but you still find Yankees fans who have always lived in Boston(fucking monsters). To me, being a fan of "the scene as a whole" just sounds dull and not very exciting. The highs and lows of being a fan are to much fun to give up.

And I like PR. They are some scrappy players and I like the cut of their jib. I hope they qualify. It would be a good time to see them there.

PR's an easy team to love. But they've just never gone over the hurdle. They've always been that team that randomly takes games off top 3 EU teams but never got their win-rate up to the point where they're really in the discussion for placing well in tournaments.

If they did qualify it would be pretty huge.

I agree that the stories are important, there are teams/players that I have come to like/dislike. I probably wouldn't be watching NAR vs liquid right now if it wasn't a hilarious situation.

However, if i'm watching EG vs DK at SL I just want to be impressed by the games.

Well your sig also says "omg c9 logo" so I think it's fair to say you're a c9 fan

VP was once that team though in the perfect position where they were good enough to be relevant, they weren't dominant, but they were always interesting. They had great players, they played differently than anyone else. They had players with a big legacy in dota.

They had it all. But now, well I've been drinking, so that's an appropriate state for a VP fan.

Its like life-long VP dota fans huehuehue

I think they are eternally bad baseball/basketball/American football teams although I'm uncertain exactly which sports.

So they're bad American sportsball teams. Alright that makes sense. TL fans were always the most self deprecating.

Well PR just aren't relevant enough. I need teams that go to lan events.

And CIS just had such a tiny stint of playing some gimmicky strategies.

I like Goblaks teams because although they were always a bit gimmicky, they executed very well. CIS never gave me that impression. Granted I haven't watched much of them lately, but they seemed to be more of a team that just ran random stuff that people weren't used to.

VP weren't really like CIS. VP had fantastic in-game strategy early-mid game (and terrible late-game), mainly because of their supports. And their picks weren't super out there, but enough to be different.

Na'Vi is awesome. They're the most important team in Dota. If it wasn't for Na'Vi, Dota (as an esport) would probably be 50% of what it is today in every measurable way.

As a team in an esport. I don't think any has had as big of an impact as they have in their game since maybe SK in CS.

I've never said anything about them not being that.

:/

I think Dota would be quite fine without Na'Vi. I mean they're awesome and great and all... Maybe 50% of Russian Dota?
