coz in china use ussr style to train athletes (kinda contracted since young age), government are taking care of all the necessary spendings.

thats why the government want a share in the prize money, commercial income etc. that applies to all of them (Yao Ming, Liu Xiang etc.)

but iG is just a private team, nobody is gonna take anything away from them. I heard that iG's owner(son of a super billionaire) decided to give the bonus of 1 million dollars to the team. So its 2 million USD for them.

No offense, but the hype of the game sorta died for me when it was Lumi casting and not Tobi. Tobi brought the crowd roaring, and that fueled Na'vi in previous games. I was really disappointed, and I hope I wasn't the only one.

He may have been unaware. There's the possibility that this wasn't an offer made to the team, but instead the team owner telling some other big names how confident he is.

Still though, good find. Good to know that wasn't the motivation that got iG through.

200k or 400k... either way they are getting a huge paycheck for iG.

Loved their playstyle against Navi. I really didn't like their boring games vs LGD but their ability to adapt was obvious against Navi.

Also REALLY cool that iG went partying with Navi after the finals.

I like Tobi's enthusiasm but I don't like his lack depth and his clear bias-ness and focus only on Western and the more star players. He does not bring attention nor can he identify significant plays by the lesser known players often the 4 and 5 position. His co-caster cannot catch everything and dota is more about discussion as opposed to relaying knowledge.

Lumi and LD both have pretty good knowledge, and bounce ideas off each other constantly and always point out small/big plays I've missed focusing on other things. It is too much to ask of anyone, including Tobi, to be able to play the 1-5 positions at a decently high level for most heroes.

That's why Lumi/LD who've played (and played against) tons of games across all positions and all heroes are the best casters. They also have good chemistry and enthusiasm and are familiar with all regions (NA, EU, CIS, SEA, China) including playstyles and history. Best of all, they are NOT BIASED. They observe ALL the players 1-5, both West and East, and try to focus on all the plays as opposed to only certain players plays (*cough Dendi *cough) when there are 10 players on the screen competing for attention.

Just my 2 cents.

I thought that Bruno guy was... *drumroll*... IceFrog!
What an epic Keyser Söze move would that be.

And yeah, it was a bit anticlimactic to move from Tobi in bracket finals to not-Tobi in grandfinals. Even if Lumi is an icon in the Dota community from ancient times. Lumi did make some killer jokes, by the way, like: "Chinese eat Puppey for dinner". Lolol
