Get out.

Even if Chinese teams get all slots top3 this still wouldn't be the period where the Chinese were most dominant. And we still don't call non-Chinese teams foreigners because it's disrespectful shit.

Sylar is better carry statistically and VG sometimes rely on him to get back in late game department.
Hao is different than Sylar, since he really like to brawl earlier and tries to shut down the offlaner hence the less GPM and CS.

The stats for the carry, of a dominating team obviously are better, than the stats for a carry of a team, which got 9th/10th. Stats don't mean much in that regard imo.

I wonder if it might be detrimental at all, the break, especially since the other team will have played more to reach the finals and have had more practice, etc

You mean EG VG?

There are enough games at TI for a meta shift in the middle of the tournament.

Adaptation is way more important and DK and NB have more experience to draw on in that area.

say DK is the first to reach the final first or whatever, and say that eg/VG/newbee or whoever else make the heroic lower bracket run. I guess they would have the greater number of games played and perhaps understand the meta more? while DK get the two day break where they can watch the games but probably not play too many scrims, etc.

Foreigners would be if Chinese teams were to take 1-5/6 without western teams taking a game off them

there is no way in hell we are even remotely close to that.

Even if they were it would still be disrespectful to call people foreigners just because they're not from the nation which is best at a video game. Especially when they're not even in the country in question.

Plus that the western teams who take 6-16 are only there because of regional quotas while there are 10 more Chinese team who would whoop all the Westerners' ass if they were given the chance to attend.

We're not remotely close to Sc2, and that's not even mentioning BW.
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer

To be honest, difference in skill lvl would be higher if dota 2 has same lvl of mechanics needed as sc2.

Honest question, I can get away with taking off either Friday or Monday, but not both. Which would you choose?
