This is kinda where I'm at. Not a personal fan of Newbee's personalities, but Vici's style is absolutely atrocious to watch, IMO. It's like watching a 4gate every game

cuz of how SC2 has turned into. Pure Koreans for finals every tournament is boring as hell.
Just the thought of it happening in DotA 2 with pure Chinese teams all the time is not a good thought.
I like your signature
When it comes to fans, people will complain regardless. It just how it is.
Maybe next year the European teams will step up again but until then, just deal with it. All of you whining, complaining isn't going to solve jack shit. Deal. With. It.

I'm just not very excited for the 5 man deathballs that will inevitably be the entire series. I also hate Newbee with a passion.
why? because of alleged xenophobia that was based on very weak evidence?
didn't iceiceice himself say that other chinese teams didn't like to scrim against DK leading up to TI4 because it felt like DK was just scouting other teams while doing joke drafts themselves like mid huskar etc.?
everyone in nB bar xiao8 is absolutely fantastic individual player and even the director makes up for it with his leadership
hao is pretty much the chinese XBOCT (at times over-aggressive carry player that likes to go YOLO, very unique for chinese dota scene) and people still hate them because of some petty shit
it's pretty sad
almost as sad as people disliking "rat dota" because for some reason right clicking heroes is so much more spectacular than right clicking towers
I literally said nothing about any of my reasons, I just said I hate them. Don't pull words out of my mouth.

Like when universe got those insane chrono's I was going nuts, but if some player on VG or Newbee do the same thing tomorrow it will just be meh. Both teams are aggro and hopefully Newbee wont concede every tower and then try to fight like EG did so it should be a close series.
thats because youre EG fan as VG supporter i like how every leshrac stun hits causes western fans cry
srsly dont blame china vs china blame the FOREIGNERS for not able to compete

Cause the guy is toxic as fuck and would be banned by riot if he played lol due to his toxicity. So happy someone like him didn't make the finals and the reason why I was rooting against EG so hard.

LoL, dota hipster sighted. "Na'Vi is to main stream for me. Casuals cheer for them and EG. True dota fans love china."
Wow you're actually an idiot. Na'Vi has the biggest fan base of all western teams and probably the biggest fan base of any team. People who watch dota for TI usually only root for Na'Vi it's just natural. I like Na'Vi took pretty much everyone does that's my point if you're too retarded to see my point then I don't know what to say.
So you'll stop talking? Mission accomplished.
can you shut up actually im pretty sure you're being the instigator here
Plansix the Instigator . Don't worry about it Plan, some people don't like that there is no foreign team in the finals and some people don't like that some people don't like that there is no foreign team in the finals. You can't stop the useless flamewar.

TI2 finals were 4 stomps in a row with an one hour prolonged death animation in the end. Ti3 finals were 4 TERRIBLE stomps, and final close game. Just because NaVi made there doesn't make those finals any shitter than they were, don't kid youself. VG vs NB were the closest playoff series we got, it has high chances to be best Bo5 series of entire year.
TI2 finals pretty accurate. TI3 I actually enjoyed the 4th game because of the Night Stalker pick and Alliance were actually behind before they turned around that fight near Dire bot 2nd tier tower.
The only game worth mentioning is third one with Ogre and Lone. Other were awful. That game with NS ended up with Na'VI without ulties pushing against NS at night and getting rekt.
And people call those finals crazy beacuse we had LD hyping everything that happens.

just like SC2, LOLOLOLOLOLOL
you had a really cogent argument until you capped it off with "LOLOLOL" >.>
VG and Newbee are the 2 best teams in this tournament. Sure, the finals might've attracted more viewers or hype if a western team or DK would've made it but this isn't a popularity contest, you get there by winning.
Holy fuck, the prophecy is going to fulfill itself again. In the original Stop football gambling video the kid said his father bet on Germany. And in this ad the kid said his brother bet on VG...
