Not very international imho
You think it would be any different if it was hosted in China? Home teams always get cheered more than away teams.
thats exactly why i said these audience are disgusting, navi/loda were hugely welcomed and cheered by the crowd when they were there.
Oh get over yourself. People are allowed to cheer for their favorite team. Why should they cheer for another team that they don't want to win? If some people in China are fans of navi good for them.
No, it's that the Chinese fans clearly show a great deal of respect towards Western teams but it's not the same when the Chinese teams come to The International. This has clearly been the case even when the Chinese teams aren't even playing fan favorites, or home teams from the USA. TI2/TI3 are perfect examples of this.
Nobody's disrespecting Chinese. People are cheering for Navi because they like Navi and want them to win. This is a normal thing in any sport. You don't go to a football match and cheer equally for each team. Personally if Orange wins I will back them against Alliance because I think Alliance are boring. It has nothing to do with race and everything to do with playstyle.
Have you ever been to a soccer match. The fans of two sides are very aggressive and if you sit in the wrong seat you are pretty much screwed.
Nobody here is saying 'People are cheering for Navi because they like Navi and want them to win.' - fans can do whatever they want BUT the one-sided support to all the western teams with none to most eastern teams (which are facts) annoyed some people, including me.
Orange's idea with this draft: "So lets get every AoE teamfight thing and kill them" "What about life stealer when he rages?" "Dont worry, we just take bane ez" "gg ez"
The crowd in this TI is much better than last year's, they cheer for plays, they cheer for all the teams (there are more chinese fans present this year), there are less boos compared to TI2 (the only boos were led by Ayesee I believe) and that's good enough for a crowd. Everyone can choose who they wish to cheer for, this crowd even stands up everytime after the game finishes just to clap for the winning team regardless of origin.
And the chinese fans loves [A] and Na'Vi, they're considered superstars over there, just as Grubby in China, have you ever seen how is Grubby treated in China?
