All made possible by an incredibly timely centaur stomp from Banana that cancelled Sing's TP. He would've been the first to tp back and with the aegis, he would probably have turned the fight. (I still don't like Newbee though. Curse anyone who beats DK.  )Banana and Sansheng are two of the oldest currently-active DotA players and have been playing support for an extremely long time. I don't expect flashy plays from them, but I expect perfect management of the more subtle aspects of play (ward placement, overall sense of their own development, etc.). The younger support players like VG's will have more visibly impactful plays, but that by no means makes them more valuable players than Newbee's veteran supports. | ||

reddit exaggerates the drama around hao and banana and any alleged racism. team DK are fan favourites, and in general the community hates anyone who shits on their fan favourites. such an opinion may be held by hao and banana - but it's not an uncommon opinion in china at all. china and indeed most of asia are very nationalistic, and there is a lot of pride on the line. with that in context, it's not surprising that some players in china hold such views. i wouldn't be surprised if a fair few others thought the same. with regard to the recent controversy, it ended up being a misunderstanding from DK that resulted in burning and mushi deleting their weibo tweets. lanm and mushi's fb page also apologised publicly. alas, the public reputation of newbee has been damaged, probably irreparably, due to the rash decisions of burning, mushi, and mushi's fb fanpage, as well as thousands of redditors. | ||

What exactly are you trying to say? Asian cultures tend to be xenophobic so this matter is trivial even if it is true because every Asian team probably hates foreigners? Your other line of defense (from the DK thread) is that this has been true for as long as the Chinese scene existed why make a big deal about it now. As someone who just got exposed to these teams it kinda puts me off them. I hope they fall short before they can take much money from TI. Pretty bizarre defense of racism. Just because it's common doesn't make it palatable. Also their supposed (Linked but deleted) tweets really don't help. | ||
