Well whether or not she's attractive shouldn't matter but it's disappointing that they chose someone who really doesn't know what she's talking about when it comes to dota and seems a bit awkward generally. They really should have chosen a caster or gamer to do this job.

A gamer would do a shit job doing interviews, as they always do

Did Yao and Super swap places or something...I don't remember him being this good.


I'd argue that Super is the best mid in China.

mmm.. thats a hard argument, i mean yeah hes showing some fantastic mag but really its hard to guage, mayby after this TI3 we can draw more conclusions

tbh im not opposed to DK taking it all, i feel like they really have the drive this time around since they know this is burning's last TI


I want them taking it all too.

In terms of mid players I don't know who you would rate above him though. Ferrari is pretty erratic so is lanm, mu and CTY. Super is pretty consistent since the roster change and comes out with really amazing games pretty often.

well you have Xiao8//yao depending on the picks both of which have some heroes that they are fantastic at in mid.

also, DK would be my 2nd pick.. i still want LGD taking it all still


It's a bit unfair since Yao only gets to play his best heroes mid unlike a dedicated mid player who plays whatever the team needs so obviously Yao looks better most of the time. Xiao8 also tends to play more support mid so it's hard to compare either.

well then you sort of have to compare them as one dont ya i mean you only get advantages to having flexible mid/offlane imo

Na`Vi - Orange: Na`Vi should take this, but it might be closer than people think. Na`Vi is in better shape, but Orange can pull some good games from time to time. 2:1
TongFu - Fnatic: I'm expecting a stomp here. 2:0
LGD.cn - Alliance: People overestimate Alliance, they are strong but not unbeatable as some people seem to think. I think Chinese teams can win if they step up their game. This comes down to whether LGD (especially xiao8) can get their shit together, and the draft will play an important part here. With proper picks LGD can take this, as long as they don't choke again, but they probably will. 1:2
DK - iG: Both teams look solid, DK looked better in the group stage. Could go either way, but I think BurNing will make the difference here, he's playing a great tournament so far while Zhou is quite lackluster. 2:1

Close enough.

Na`Vi - TongFu: I think Na`Vi will have a hard time to deal with TongFu's aggression. 2:1
Alliance - DK: Go BurNing! 0:2

This is so much less cringeworthy than what most big tournaments do.

What.

People FINALLY learned that knowing the game doesn't matter at all when you know how to be... a fucking great and socially intelligent interviewer and you come along to say THAT? ._.

She's doing an amazing job, better than anyone else did in the past.

Well I as said during Loda's itw, IG was the better opponent, DK won't be easy but LGD make everyone look easy so I dunno.

Iirc, rumors about burning retiring started during a period of DK sucking pretty hard and playing very, very badly. Now they play like a top5 world team so perhaps Burning is more motivated now that his team has a shoot at winning stuff.

Kaici is great, she behaves very good in front the camera and does a good job without DOTA knowledge, she only needs some notes/someone talking to her hear to know what to ask and thats ok. And the gold mine of footage that she brings is awesome.

How is she awkward? What the fuck

Everything she does is extremelly fluent. It's not like picking a Playboy girl that has no idea about what is going on, she does her job really well, looks are not why she was picked. They could have gotten the girlfriend of a progamer or something, but while they often know more about the game, they certainly are not as good as a reporter.
