My point is that its hard to cheer for the teams and organisations in a team competition and that to me is a problem. | ||

And weirder still considering how locked in the top 3 were. I understand the need for flexibility but I think at least losers bracket final could have been Bo5 as well. Pretty underwhelming TI. Some great games but lacked the feel of last year; then again I was freshly converted by the tournament last year. | ||

Everytime they faced, a few weeks prior to TI4, Newbee always was the favourite to win over VG. But maybe, just maybe, with the great run VG had at the beginning, something might have changed... | ||

Chinese style is now like the 1-1-1 Terran from Starcraft. They hit a good timing with a pushing lineup, and a teamfight backup hero so once their push starts it's very hard to stop them. This grand final shows us that Xiao8 is one of the best drafters in the world and takes teams out before the game even begins. Games 2, 3 and 4 were decided at the draft phase. People will say it's anticlimatic, but remember it's not for the show. Those guys are there for the money, and that is all that matters for them. Congratulations Newbee. | ||

In the next 3 months they become the best in the scene, absolutely crushing the previous 12 teams. If you don't invite them, nobody will think that the best Dota 2 team is at the TI4, and people will care a lot less. Also Newbee forming in Feb wasn't just for TI--Chinese New Year holiday is the only real "off-season" time for China that makes sense for major roster changes. | ||
