This is such an amazing day of dota... and I have to get to school in 6 hours

i feel bad for non americans watching. when grand finals ends i'm going to a party tonight. you guys have other stuff to do and can miss the finals.


Yeah, sucks. Grand Finals at 5am... Wouldn't have been much of a problem if it was a Sunday morning instead of a Monday one.

Ti2 is really too taxing to watch.

VALVe needs to spread it out over more days or even make it a league or something.

cramming all those hours of dota-watching and emo highlows into 3 days is just plain bad for health.

The game that killed Europe TT

Sick game regardless though =p

So few messages for such a good game.

Maybe we are busy watching cuz its such a good game


No cheers, no chants, no claps.

If no one wants to say it, I will.

It's 'cause they're Chinese, and the Chinese have "no personalities", and pick "boring heroes".


how can you say they are boring and have no personality if you (probably) don't speak their language/ don't know a lot a lot about their culture?


I'm Chinese American, currently living in Hong Kong. It's 7:34 AM here, and I'm still closely watching this game, I haven't abandoned it (like the crowd) just because there's no white dude playing.

I was relaying what (most) people are thinking, but are afraid to say in fear of appearing "racist". Look at my previous 10 posts and you'll see.


For me, it's that I've had absolutely zero exposure to Chinese Dota. I usually watch Tobi on Joindota, which is mostly European / Western teams; I know they had an Asian tournament at some point but I apparently missed it. He normally casts pretty late for me, so I don't watch everything. I have no idea about how good the Chinese teams or players are, what their styles are, etc., apart from what I've seen this week. I'd like to see more Chinese teams, especially after seeing how amazingly good they are, but don't really know how to go about finding streams / leagues. So yeah -- I've been less excited about China v. China matches than I probably would be if there were a team that I was familiar with. I imagine that's true for a fair number of U.S. viewers. I don't think it's the Chinese team's fault, I don't think it's fanboyism or racism, it's just that Chinese Dota is kind of a thing of its own and a lot of people aren't familiar with it.


I'm not much different from you, but after experiencing 2 days of non-stop insane DotA2 action, getting overloaded with Chinese play, after being entertained for hours and hours... I feel like I've known these guys for a long time (well, I've known about the superstars for a longer time ie. YYF, Ferrari, etc). I'm not gonna claim that the American audience can't (or chooses not to) warm up to the Chinese teams, but it's just seems odd to me that LGD does an insane run throughout the tournament, reminiscent of Na'Vi in the previous tournament, yet it feels like everyone just up and left the moment Na'Vi did.

If anyone is hating on the crowd for leaving when the Chinese teams came up, you also need to understand that it was three pm and like none of us had eaten lunch yet tons of us left to get food before the finals.
None the less... Na'vi fighting!

Polish DotA, non-existent DotA.

Hey, look, our opinions are both valid!

to be honest. giving any of these 15 players any of the characters they like is a bad idea.
