Today has been within what I thought.

Fnatic losing to TF was simply a second-tier EU team losing to a first-tier Chinese team.

Na'Vi dropping a game to Orange... Meh, it's Na'Vi.

Dignitas winning RattleSnakes simply shows Western tier 2 teams are still > Chinese tier 2 teams.

IMO this bodes well for Na'Vi and Alliance finals.



So Na'Vi and Alliance are the tier 1 teams? who else would you label as Tier 1 Westerns?


There are no other. Presently Na'Vi and Alliance are the only Tier 1 Western teams.

then LGD is the only chinese tier 1 team, the others are far too inconsistent


LGD that went 6-6 in groups before Day 3 and narrowly avoided a loss to Dignitas in the tiebreakers? Okay.

...

Yeah, because we label teams based on their TI performance. You even didn't get what opretown was implying.


We rank them based on the last 30 minutes played.

Rattlesnake is tier 6 eastern, Dignitas tier 1 western.

Right?

you are only as good as your last kill or death

your last last hit or deny

Then how do you explain RattleSnake>Quantic?


QUANTIC BAD TIER 3 TEAM


Nah, Quantic was just damned by the TI wild card curse - the region that wins the wild card, loses the finals.

These team intro's are so sexy
Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

Common, it shouldn't be that hard. opretown implied that Azarkon ranks Tier 1 Western team only those who have won Chinese teams in the international tournaments, not the win-lose distribution in their natural scene, so he gets instant right with his statement.

Before TI3, mouz was at least 1.25 tier, go figure.


How is Na'Vi and Alliance not obviously ahead of other Western teams? Tier 1 exists to talk about the set of teams that are ahead of other teams in a region.

LGD isn't obviously ahead of TF so why are they Tier 1, but TF is Tier 2?

So we can accept azarkons crazy theory about how all the complicated team workings rank everything. or we can just admit that NA dota is better than people give it credit for. and that simple fact explains most of the results we've seen throughout TI3
