I don't really know for sure. That insane comeback against IG, the sub 20minute demolishing of DK. EG is for sure a great value bet, real odds are 48/52 at worst I'd say, EG could even be favored under some scenarios, and with how they're skewed towards DK so heavily right now, betting EG is the surefire way to go. | ||

I imagine know how your opponent planned to deal with you along with their train of thoughts + pocket strats is quite a big deal? | ||

There's no chance. The chinese teams it's more likely because they will be friends with netizens who potentially downloaded the video, and because they would understand the video without any need for a translation or any sort of "paper trail" if you will. It's safer and easier for them to use the information, although I'd still be surprised if they knew more than any general hearsay that is floating around in the chinese community regarding that vid ("oh did u hear DK planned on picking huskar" type shit). | ||

I doubt EG got their hand on the video, but it is possible. If they don't say anything themselves, it is actually very hard to do all the detective work to find indisputable evidence against them. Valve is going to be happy to sweep things under the rug. Why seek negativity for an otherwise great tournament? Of course, let's just hope that the video doesn't resurface before the end of Ti4 and nobody abuse it. | ||

A lot of analysts say VG also has the best support duo of any teams as well (I agree), so maybe betting on VG's 45% is worthwhile. EG is still 38-40%~ (hovering) vs DK so I'm staying with my bet on EG, although I think this is ultimately decided by EG getting dire or not: they have a 100% win rate on dire from group stages, and went 2-3 as radiant. | ||
