Never had the feeling that they play for so much money, could as well have been a 50k tournament. Could have done the poker thing and just dump a gigantic amount of money in front of their booths. | ||

Obviously like other people mentioned, Newbee and Vici aren't the most hype teams and the games weren't very intense. But I think what really mattered to me, is that before TI4, they were not looking solid. Vici losing to Fnatic, not really going far, Newbee still looking good but being bested by DK and iG relatively frequently... I can't call them the best teams in the world just because they have won TI. Their performance before hasn't shown it, so if they keep demolishing everyone for the next 4-6 months, then sure, I'll be happy for Newbee, and really say this was the start of something huge for them, but if Newbee just goes to disband since they all just made $1,000,000 USD, then there is this void of a champion to me. That's the main thing that did it for me, don't know if anyone else really feels this way. So Navi looking average prior to TI2 and TI3 didn't massively impact how you felt over the finals since you couldn't call them the 2nd best team in the world? | ||

Xiao8's pretty much done everything at this point, there's no reason for Director 8 to stick around. If he just gets to TI5 ro8, thats a free 100k. Better than a lot of yearly salaries, may as well stick around  | ||

Sorry, I mentioned that in the one above this one. Navi is one exception out of all the teams because I am a huge fan boy, and the first TI I saw was TI3, so I can't comment on anything outside of that. | ||

I wouldve been extremely happy if newbie were all new previously unknown players bursting through. Thats not my point. My argument was that reforming teams with the same ppl and have basically teams form and get into TI is kinda underwhelming to me and makes it hard to cheer for the teams. If KT rolster disband every year and the same players form new teams every year but say with fantasy or rain or snute coming and going every year would you care about a team competition where 50% or so of the teams are formed like that ? There's very little in terms of brand continuity and team fandom, which was even apparent by the miserable numbers of pennants for both teams in-game | ||
