China vs rest online sux too hard. Starladder and the Defense are highly rated because they don't have ping problems and the results are "legit" imo.

Well you usually divide by region (NA, EU, or EU and CIS, China and SEA)

so I was a little confused.

This is the ingame BoX score. A little bit small but looks good. No bo7or higher but that's not very common in dota

You only divide by region when USA wins

Country when EU would win if it was by region

you euros keep acting like i had some agenda and was manipulating stats when i was just pointing out the meager representation from the top countries in dota while over-representation in a former powerhouse. the point is the starseries is the two top europe teams + and 1 from USA and 1 mediocre SEA team and filler europe teams. with no chinese representation and not even the top usa team right now. I'll be passing on star series as entertainment since all but 3 teams will produce pretty bad games. and so until those 3 matchups happen, it's not really going to be quality.

puppey said col can make top 3 in TI2 also they beat na'vi incredibly convincingly multiple times.

Puppey said that everything is changing and that teams like coL who were bad a month ago are now doing better and could potential be under the top3.
And just cause coL is doing good at it doesn't mean that there are a top teams. Starladder requires teams to do good for a long amount of time and now only a month of semicore sucess,

It is not invite only
it is a league

The last 2 places go to pro series and the top 2 from proseries advance to starseries, nobody gets invited. Moscow 5 managed to qualify for both lan finals, while col didn't came close to top 2 in pro series.

How would it make sense to kick the team that qualified for both lan events and invite a team that has issues in proseries?

not mad. i'm just surprised at the number of "must be because it makes usa the best" comments, there were like 3-4 of them nearly in a row. xD wasn't you specifically just the number of them xD. i even said europe as a continent has NA beat.

That was exactly why I made my comment, because of the amount of people who wanted Europe to "win" over USA. :p

Think it is rather stupid to talk about what region/country got the most top teams, apart from some of the Chinese teams, DotA teams don't really seem to be that nationalistic.

when trying to showcase the best current BW pros how would it make sense to invite yellow and grrr to play when bisu didn't qualify, because yellow and grrr did well in the past?
