Aside from Alliance and NaVi, once again the Chinese teams have taken majority of the top spots in the Winner's Bracket. And once again after a great start, the Western teams fell from the top spots in their group (albeit closer this year.) This means nothing. Everyone expected Alliance and NaVi to do this well this year and they delivered.
Anything else he had said is just feeding the troll.
This year is very different from last year.
People who aren't able to see that... I'm just going to say they need to get their eyes checked.

I think more entertaining than all this great DotA is watching teapoted on his Crusade against Azarkon It's no crusade, I just like to amuse myself at 4 in the morning. You're doing God's work, son. I have no idea whats going on. A war started. Choose a side, no time to tell you what they fight for or why they are fighting. The perpetual wars of nerd forums. Mac v PC, PC v Console, LoL v Dota, east v west. Stakes so low, yet so vicious. Except I have no east or west allegiance. My point in almost all west/east arguments is that it doesn't matter, it's about individual teams. Arguing which 'scene' is strong is pointless, it's about which teams are strongest. And at the moment, it's very mixed, which is good for dota.
I agree with this. It's always one or two people on the TL forums throwing this East vs West bs. This isn't SC2, stop with this already.

Dignitas are really inexperienced with this rubick pull tactic.

Sneyking doing pretty well vs Mushi

LGD.Int was definitely considered a Western team by Azarkon, who specifically named them as one and praised them when they were playing well in China, but now they're international. That sounds unbiased.

This is the kind of start you don't want to give orange

Uh, I said from the very beginning that they're a Western team training in China, which in the end makes them a product of both. For rooting purposes, yes I agree they're a Western team. But for analyzing their training / infrastructure / skill, they're both.

Last time I'll reply to you. You of all people should know better group stages doesn't mean anything. Elimination stages matter and that is what counts.
Stop throwing your biased bs in the forums and stop trying to troll. It's tiring and boring.

+ Show Spoiler ++ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Vlamm2n.png) Dignitas VS Orange ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/upAJVeu.png)
The International 2013 Lower Bracket Round 2A TEAM DIGNITAS:  ( Aui_2000),  ( Sneyking),  ( UNiVeRsE),  ( Fogged),  ( Waytosexy) - Dire block the camps in bot, but ENCH is jungling in top.
- ALCH has to start jungling.
4:00 RUBICK gets run down past the tower and gives up first blood.
- Radiant Bot T1 goes down.
- CK and LINA TP top to stop SYLLA's push.
- Dire Top T1 gets denied.
5:40 QOP hides in the Radiant ancients, and blows up TIMBER with her ult.
Towers are even.

TI 3 group stages have never not mattered. Do you know why Dignitas is inches away from being eliminated and not getting a single cent from TI 3? Because of the group stages.
AWC was an entirely different story. $3 million was not on the line then.

lol I'm in the same boat. Aside from the obvious teams I'm rooting for. I am still Chinese after all, don't want my home country to do THAT bad. Then it'd be sad -.-

I remember when Azarkon was proclaiming LGD.int 2nd best team in China because of their 'Western Meta'
My favorite gem from Azarkon from Joindota
