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

Chinese teams have a tendency to be cautious to the point of suicide. It's just how they usually play.

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.

Na'Vi is pretty good at that, too

I have to say I'm impressed with tobi, this is the kind of game that he fails hard at casting, but he's doing a good job.

Same here, and there's no way I can stay awake through another game similar to this one...

He has yet to rile the crowd to openly boo the players. I'm impressed.

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.

They can actually kill Aegis Alchemist with 6 items, one of them being Rapier, even with 3 buybacks? They have nothing that goes through BKB.

In my opinion if you don't go for an allin like that there, at least try, then you just lose 100%. Like they are doing now.
