Please stop the caster bashing. You can disagree with them and post about it but posts that only serve to bash casters senselessly will be actioned.

for those who are whining about 2 chinese team in the finals: have you watched this game called starcraft? who cares where the team/players are from, quality games is all that matters.


With these chinese teams the gap doesn't feel that immense. It's about the patience and mechanical discipline to not whiff games like Western teams do (badish example but look at c9's group stage losses). There's no particular part of their play that's especially charismatic. Though that could also be down to exposure and simply not noticing what makes them so great and why you should care.



I highly disagree that chinese teams are about patience to not throw games. I feel like along side Cloud9 the team that "threw" the highest amount of games was... DK. Seriously, it's like they are completely incapable of closing out a game ( t.t).

I don't think there is a distinctive style difference between East and West atm, it's about execution and East was better this year.

Chinese teams are ok. I liked newbee(just because they beat DK badly on one time period i have a thing on teams that beat fan favorites). At least for me. Part of the reason is that it's sort of anticlimactic to have chinese vs chinese cause it's a global competition so i it would be nice to have a hyped east vs west. Part of the reason is that not really wanting dota 2 to become like starcraft scene.

Maybe for others it's more like Newbee vs VG is really anticlimactic since they are the least likable chinese team i think. IG and DK has so many fans while newbee has opterown and idk who are the VG fnatics but i know people love ROTK.

So the top 8 is 5 Chinese teams and 3 Western teams, various teams took multiple games off various chinese teams (Newbee was 7-8, LGD was 7-8.

TI3 was Western vs Western?Did you dislike that final?

Although it was west vs west. It wasn't really anticlimactic. And even if it was west vs west. It was Ukraine + Estonia + Germany vs Sweden. So it had the international feeling that it gave. unlike this TI4 which is chinese vs chinese . I don' really mind if chinese win or makes it to grand finals every year. As long as it's chinese vs something else so that it feels like a global competition. Not another chinese tournament. That's really my only complain.

Not to mention it was the match most hated team in the world vs the most like team in the world. And the most hated team in the world was a unstoppable juggernaut while na'vi was the only only that looked to beat alliance that time. So it was hyped as fuck.

Seriously that was a really sick story line to follow.


Maybe you should go read a book if you want a sick storyline to follow? People like you in this thread are the most impossible to understand. This is a tournament. The purpose is to determine who is the best team in the world. Every team enters with the purpose of placing as high as possible. They don't care a fig about entertaining you or producing "good storylines". All these teams whose playstyles people arbitrarily like, they don't play that way because they care about you. They play that way because it wins them the most games and they'd change their playstyle in an instant if they found a superior one.

That's why I find all these people bitching about boring games to be a little ridiculous too. To me the most beautiful playstyle is the one that wins you the most games, whether it's 4 protect 1, 5 man, early push, split push, facerush, whatever. Wouldn't you rather support a team that always asks itself "how can I win?", rather than a team that insults your intelligence by asking "how can I entertain the crowd?"

Are you serious ? it's like you are saying you can watch dota 2 without commentary.

Please esports is not fun to watch solely because of beautiful gameplay. It's a package deal Gameplay + storyline. If you just wanted gameplay you can go watch the game and mute the casters since you like watching it like godly AI's playing against each other.

watching dota 2 without commentary is actually fine imo. you should try it before you knock it. also I've been to pubstomps at bars where the commentary audio was too low to comprehend and that too was fine.

that was pretty cool, about what I expected. Professionally done, nothing over the top or mind blowing but should get the attention of a couple people who don't know what to watch so they watched espn2.

A pretty good ESPN segment overall. I thought it did the game and the players justice. It was also a bit funny to see how James's behavior changed from group stage to main stage to t.v. stage.
