I cheer against EG for pretty much exactly those reasons (except I don't actually know ppd's hon past). At the end of the day though, they're just excuses to let me dislike a team I want to dislike. Feeling strongly about teams (either way) makes it a lot more fun to watch, especially since unlike Sc2, I don't understand Dota well enough to watch it simply for the beauty of good play.
tl;dr Fuck EG, go DK.

I like them enough to cheer for them over western teams, but I prefer iG and newbee to win.

The majority of the cries of 'racism/xenophobia' has been concentrated in Western discussion forums. Pretty sure the two sets of fans 'hate' each other because they see the other team as their greatest threat - the xenophobia thing blown over a long time ago in China, and both sets of fans are quite civil with each other (except of course some DK fanatics, but even those are denounced by DK fans).

Even tho I am really bad at Dota, I love to watch it. The International is just the best show in eSports, I am so anxious waiting for it.
Hoping for amazing games!
