It's not the fact that they're cheering, it's what they're cheering. Chanting for a team is okay (to an extent) but chanting for a country makes the game into something it isn't (only 60% of the team are American anyway). It's a hostile atmosphere for the Chinese teams (the two countries are rivals - they're aware of it, they're not at fault if they find it uncomfortable with those chants) and it's a little bit weird. Doesn't bother me, I'm just saiyan. And now you're extrapolating something completely ridiculous out of something completely innocent. By the way, you're not supposed to feel comfortable playing away from home, that's why people talk of things such as "home field advantage." This is completely normal in sports.
I'm not extrapolating at all, but nice try using a big word. "You're not supposed to feel comfortable playing away from home" - supposed to? 'Supposed to' doesn't come into it. It's natural to feel less comfortable playing abroad, but by your 'supposed to' logic they're justified in making the Chinese teams feel uncomfortable on purpose x]
Bottom line is this. The teams are not there to represent a country (like I said, EG is only half American anyway - give me the Denmark chant!) and the crowd reminds me of the Indian fans when they hosted the Commonwealth Games and tried to put off opposing teams. It's just weird, IMO.

Yes, they get a lot more armor and huge regeneration.

You are totally right. I mean, when Lionel Messi scores a goal for Barca, everyone in the stands starts chanting Argentinian chants. Right? Right....? No? Yeah I didn't think so. People chant for the team's home base, not where their players are from. Come on now. That analogy doesn't really make sense. They chant for Barca. When it's club sports it's about the club not the country. When it's country it's about the country not the club. American gaming is only place I've seen country and club somehow mix. Might be other examples not sure. Anyway iG gonna win this I have faith. It's the international that is about representing different regions of the world and you wonder why people cheer for a certain country? Seems normal and logical to me. Not trying to be a contrarian, just saying as it's apart of how diverse the teams are and lends itself to that kind of cheering.

I think it is a good thing tide did not have mp for ravage. He would have gotten at most 2 heroes and bear, would have been borderline wasted.
