the thing that actually annoyed me about this is that they are a full package team. Meaning aside from iG, they are not sponsored by any other brands. Its like FXO in starcraft in a sense. This means that despite they won the biggest tournament in the world, the return in investment is very low or does not even exist since they are not promoting anything but themselves.
Wang Sicong likes to squander his dad's money.
And we get some great games of DotA as a result. ^_^

chuan paid regards to the Y-god Yamateh and gave him MVP. "he taught me dotah"... the influence of Yamateh still echo until today, what had we have to face in the past was definitely a monster.

This isn't quite correct. Zhou was on CCM/iG.Z and remained on iG.Z (Zhou, 430, Xiao8, DDC, Sansheng--Xiao8 and DDC left of their own accord to play for LGD, so iG subsequently picked up Awoke and Faith from Tyloo). iG.Y went through several 5th players (I believe the lineup was YYF, Chuan, Ch, Gx, 830 at the time of it's dissolution), none of them Zhou.

You're right. Nv.CN had already collapsed at that point. I think Gx had already retired by that time, so it was YYF, ChuaN, 830, ch~ and BeNz/sharingan.

that lineup is correct. i recall 830 replaced gx

This iG lineup is scary. They're even more talented individually than Na`vi as a whole, and if they get their teamplay up to as good as LGD (which I think they play better in terms of strategy) they will be unbeatable. Ferrari made a name for himself on TA this tournament. Some people thought he got phased out but he stood above the rest. Faith is a monster support, same with chuan. YYF though is the best player overall I'd say. His hero versatility really stood out over anyone.

well no shit... they has a small, asian cousin of singsing play mid, far relative of nestea hold tide/jungle(chuan) and mother fucking YYF. its FUCKING YYF(Y You'r Fucked?)

mean i could have so win this if i spend the rest of my money to buy smbody on LGD before last day start....

YYF has definitely been a fun player to watch grow over the past few years. He's come a long way since 2009 recruited him from Orc3C, and he was the new guy that could only play Lion and Morphling.

For someone as unfortunate as me who missed most of TI2 (tons of important stuff happened this weekend), how would one best go about watching vods? Would be awesome if it wasn't spoiled, but also nice if it was easy to know from what situation in the tournament the vod is from (which bracket etc).

Well yes, but he learned those heroes after playing the game for some time. 
IIRC 2009 said once that when he first recruited YYF, the only heroes he could play were Lion and Morphling (he was the best player in a different AoS map called "Orc3C" but relatively inexperienced at DotA).
