gotta love the asian teams disproving that they play less than any american / euro team (in dota 2)

we can pretty much sum up most of their bad performances due to latency / ping difference. i think anyone who plays vs another pro team at ANY disadvantage in a game highly dependent on timing and execution pretty much affects the outcome completely. you take that away and play on fair grounds = gg. i'm not that suprised of these outcomes since asian teams in general despite losing before the international, hasn't lost THAT badly.

people have to note euro teams / american teams has had close to a YEAR lead in experience in dota 2, and we've seen how much that difference makes on a game like sc2, despite that, they closed the skill gap completely. while i will say it's not that impressive since imo dota in general to me doesn't take that long to learn and should be relatively easy to close the skill gap compared to sc, it's still damn impressive.

my thoughts on teams
mouz isn't performing to my expectations. i can understand the standin and the fact they weren't invited so they didn't train for a full month, regardless, i still expected much more.

zenith also choking hard, but they also played some pretty good teams on the first day, so that's understandable.

navi losing is a big surprise. IG really impressing me. some big words out of one of the navi boys i don't remember who said it "puppey or xboct" "the things that asian teams do aren't surprising to us, the only reason we lose is due to our own issues" something along those lines. let's see you live up to those words.

and to those who don't think navi is playing seriously for group stages, you're a biased fanboy. if they are in the losers bracket, it's a bo1, so i doubt they would ever want to be placed there to begin with.

Its a fact that the Chinese played less dota2 than all serious eu/na teams, try doing 2 full dota1 leagues with lan events and finals in the months leading up to the international.
