Do the chinese have problem with leadership in their teams? It's like no-one wants to take an initiative in these games.

At the time they were taking out middle, iG had absolutelly no way to deal with Alch. They could have pushed their advantage further, and it wouldn't be such a high risk all in.

Is there even a crowd? There certainly isn't much noise from them.

There is a crowd, and they are trying hard to pay attention. They are just not amazed or anything. :/

I think they cheered louder for that smiley face than they did for that teamfight...

tbh only chinese teams die in this awfully stupid way in which they just seem to keep on damaging themselves with how they play, it's as if they have vain hopes that god will come and somehow take them out of their misery and deliver a miraculous victory.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

TiltFu strikes again. They're so talented but their mentalities are so weak they often either play too scared or just tilt.

If Alch hardcarry is a strategy with these drawbacks unless they win in their strong timing, wouldn't you agree that it's not actually fit for long cautious games?

You're correct. It's a carry fit for ending the game with your level 16 or 3-4 item timings.

Unfortunately, while Tongfu had an advantage, it wasn't enough to punch through a lane at that timing because they couldn't curb the split-push.

I think you couldn't be more wrong about this. TongFu should have and could have easily taking their first rax at 23m after the morphling kill. The could have roshed and taken the 2nd by 30m. In the 2nd high ground attempt after rosh, Hao didn't even use his abyssal and just ran away. If you watch the replay during 20-30m mark, iG had no answer if TongFU committed.

Realistically I'd say that if Tongfu wanted to make a gamble to end the game, it would have been for Hao to buy Sheep as his 6th item, allowing him to force a pick-off through Linken's. But that's a VERY huge risk because if it doesn't pay off, your 6-item DPS takes a nosedive.

You don't think that a Divine Rapier allin at ~28min with Aegis would have been a good idea?

No, because iG can potentially use a triple buyback fight to take the Rapier if you try to all-in push. Triple buyback in exchange for a rapier and killing Alch is a net gain for iG that would put them back in the game in that scenario, and a well-coordinated fight there is actually probably enough to win even against Aegis+Rapier Alch.

This sadly seems more viable then what they are doing at the moment.

Unfortunately, while Tongfu had an advantage, it wasn't enough to punch through a lane at that timing because they couldn't curb the split-push.

I think Tongfu could have traded a rax for a rax, and then went for a second and third rax much faster than split push could have - this would have forced a teamfight, which they would have to win.

If they lose, its gg.

But that's the name of the game when you play against split push that can't be ganked.
