This could seriously work out.
With the huge prizepool and exposure TI4 is having in China (not to mention the imminent growth of the game) plus the amount of tissues Sylar uses, this can pretty much encourage non-gaming related chinese companies to invest on eSports yet again.
Imagine Vinda personal sponsorship for Sylar, VG.Sylar.Vinda. Or Laoganma peaking interest for LGD, LGD.Yao.LGM.
Or maybe get Master Kong or the likes investing.
One can only dream...

They stayed true to their style. That is what I respect them for. No cute stuff like fv offlane. Always the same style, always the same approach. It is not even like they are ahead of the meta. This is a team drafting to their strengths. They are also lucky though that hero of the tournament (razor) fits perfectly into their draft.
I hope vici doesn't change their approach just because they are playing newbee, or that they have loss to them before. If ti4 has shown anything, this is a recipe for disaster.
Gogo vici!
its interesting that the top 3 mostly stayed true to their style. lgd did that too and it paid off for them

fucking million times yes
I like navi but as soon as the puppey who falls into the skywrath+void trap showed up I knew it was a lost cause. It's ironic because especially during group stages most of the Chinese teams who were too stubborn to change during TI3 were TOO eager to adopt skywrath void during this year. After day 1 it was pretty obvious that being more stubborn would've helped tremendously, as rabid said.
Edit: Somewhat related, If DK keeps a dota team, having the SEA players presumably going back to their region will help for everyone involved. Teams nowadays need their own style/voice and deterring from this is a recipe for losses.

i don't think VG stayed very much to their actual style pre-TI at all tbh. they never really ran that many facerush lineups with 15 minute rax pushes like they did before.

those lineups werent facerush but fast push, and most of the team is very very familiar with the fast high ground break meta that pervaded chinese dota in 2011. this is not meta pandering, but something they came up with themselves. it almost reminded me of 2011-2012 european aggression. the games only ended up being 15 minutes because teams were drafting and playing so greedily and VG was punishing them hard for it

return of the king? :D
so happy that vg made it into the finals
|
If they win, rOtk's reaction will be priceless.

The main thing is that they did what they liked best, which is to play aggressively and to push. Pre TI4, Vici used to run similar lineups such as DK + Pugna or some variant. They may not be playing exactly the same approach as before, but the core concept is pretty much the same.

I gained so much respect for RoTk after the post interview. He shows so much compassion for BurNIng. VG will take it.

+1 I wouldn't have blamed him if he just stood back and watched DK burn during the boycott. Not only did he forgive them he went and scrimmed with them. RotK is manly!

Hope VG takes it. Didnt givethem much of a chance after esl one but this performance deserves a title
|
Wasn't it too long ago we were making fun of rotk and how bad he is.
Now he's about to win 5m.
I'm loving it.

fy ure fucking perfect m8
gotta keep the team cam stream on for when they win
|
idm either newbee or vg winning cause i like both teams (ti3 tongfu and vg) but im rooting for vg a little more so that they can carry on DK's legacy ^^ and also cause FY GOD
|
Well, a pretty good run overall. Definitely better than expected to land in the #2 spot, but would have liked to see a better showing in the finals.
Onward to the post-TI shuffle!
|
Def, like i said in the other thread, VG was considered the weakest Chinese team coming to the event (apart from LGD), for them to reach no2 is already a massive credit to the team

These picks in the last game were really bad, no damageoutput and not a "tank", just really weak lineup.
I hope for better picks in ti5 final for vicigaming  <3.

Don't worry man. We just wanted the silver to match with our color scheme.
