laning choices, mostly. you can't really put him anywhere you want, so you have to know what you want from that hero. he's just not that versatile

* watching OSL at the same time

So is this ForLove a real competitor, or was iG just messing up the first game?

How do the Chinese teams rate leshrac or tide? Are TC and siren high priority picks? Why? It's kinda hard to find anything relating to the cn scene, but I'm really interested to see what kind of stuff they are bringing to the international.

iG messed up the first game badly, ForLove is a 3rd tier chinese team but iG has to focus on 2 games while ForLove just 1. Naga is not a conventional pick but she works sometimes for teams that like to force teamfights on teams with mediocre teamfight. TC is a pretty well known pick now but uncommon against a lot of lineups. Leshrac is pretty decently rated in Dota1 (Dota2 he is a stronger pick), similar to Tide.

iG has a very good possibility of losing the 3rd game, but TV broadcast schedule killed the stream lol

Why do the Chinese keep copying Pinoy picks? First it was DK, Slardar solo mid bottle-crow. Now it's Naga Siren?

I thought naga's been used as a chinese carry pick for a while now? I might be wrong, don't really follow their scene.

No, but they are ranked pretty high on the GGnet rankings. They're an ex-HoN team apparently.

Not exactly. Mr Swish and Ninjaboogie are from Hon, the rest I'm not so sure on. But they're all sort of infamous for changing their akas (ie justawluts and various other bizarre names)

Games are pretty meh, though. DK has zero coordination in teamfights and is getting stomped every time, it's like they're not even trying.
