I for one really, really hope this doesnt happen. Western teams should get off their high-horses and start practicing. I want Dota 2 to be an international game. Watching teams from 1 country dominate using 1 playstyle is not that entertaining.
That said, go iG!

Aww, They are not going to cast Al versus LGD. tobi's stream says its going to be al v lgd
They were having technical difficulties and restarted everything so they are skipping first game. Sorry, should have been more specific.

It is what's going to happen; China's existing infrastructure and familiarity with DotA 1 is just too much for the West to overcome.

so 14-14 kills, still 10k gold and 5k exp lead for LGD...
|
if zenith 2-0 mouz here, they will secure top 4 into winner bracket. quite huge.
|
i feel sorry for kuroky... got the skill but stuck with 2 low tier teams both TI: GGnet and now Mouz

One can hope things will change. Dont get me wrong, I hope the best team wins but I want westerns teams to at least put up a good fight (at least for the next International =P).

Not a huge task for Zenith the way they're playing this second day, but still, I hope Mouz upsets here and makes Zenith work for that Top 4.

wisp tiny for ehome, this is how they beat iG
|
ffs I just want them to ban Morphling. Gets boring watching the same hero repeatedly especially when it's a hero such as Morphling who will oftentimes be the focus of the team.

kuroky had a lot of success during dota1, he played on some pretty high teir teams in his time, he was probably the first player i fell in love with (he had an EPIC QOP carry game, he had like skadi guinsoo refresher agh)

USA USA.
coL may actually beat Tongfu
|
i don't know if 1437 planned that but if he did that has to be one of the most brilliant plays ive seen in this tournament
|
LGD seems so strong. Wow.
|
Hoping zenith loses to mouz to give EG a better shot

Western teams need to stop letting Yao have Invoker.
They obviously didn't do their homework--Yao's Invoker play is second only to 430 (and may be better because he's actually gotten to play it much more often than 430 recently).

hao syllabear cursed
col will definitely beat them
|
TF loses the first East vs. West series against coL.
coL hope of the West?

No, just Hao Syllabear.
Hao self-admittedly has no clue how to play bear properly, I have no clue why they insist on it in these series'.
