Please do not derail the thread with discussions or accusations of racism.

Throwaway caster bashing posts will also be actioned.

No accusations of matchfixing.

so why is chat going racist everytime newbee is on stream? i mustve missed some interview or something



From my understanding, apparently xiao8 won't scrim with foreigners.

that's confirmed to be wrong.


It didn't sound right, but that's where the cries of "RACIST" on Twitch come from iirc.


The cries of racist come from Banana calling Chuan 'malaysian dog' when they had an argument, Hao suggesting the fully Chinese teams should play with a .CN tag at WPC and rumours of Newbee telling everyone to boycott DK because they have non-Chinese on their team (this last one is most likely bullshit).

tldr Some players on Newbee harbour more nationalist/xenophobic feelings than I'm comfortable with, but the whole 'RACIST' shit is just twitch.tv being fucking idiotic as usual.


even tho i am chinese myself, i never really understood the whole calling people dog as a derogatory term. i guess maybe its cause they see dogs as food?? and not quite as dog-loving as in the west.

Why doesn't anyone ask a question about the game itself at all?

Why not ask about C9's support BH, Universes FV, the last EG/VG game or like anything that would have an interesting answer.

Which hero's are the most crucial pieces to make it work? Or is it the synergy?

Pick heroes with ranged AoE and counterpushing skills and don't buy Midases a minute before they're going to push your rax.

I think you cant simply blame the void pick for EG's loss. I mean it worked out well in the 2nd game, why not go for it in the third? I feel what lost them the game was not giving it to universe

Have two team fight ults with massive cool downs is what killed them. Once they used them, VG just walked down mid. Also not protecting their jungle from getting WTF warded to death hurt enigma to much. It was as a super greedy draft and one that started out super greedy, since they locked in void and enigma first.

They could have drafted DK and been ready to party every 70 seconds. But they decided to go for super late game glory and got rekt.


They had enigma and void in the 2nd game as well and had the same issue. But universe chronos kept them in the game
The problem was midas alch and mason void

No, its going for the same draft twice in a row and expecting the extremely skilled professional team you are against not to catch on. Even if they put Mason on that void, I don't think he can save that game. They got out drafted and out played hard.

Well if ur Enigma is level 2 5 minutes in and stacked ancients accidentely(if it was on purpose I have no idea what his thinking was) that doesn't really help either.

I am pretty sure they knew their jungle was fucked or was going to get agroed to hell. They had no ability to protect him from getting rekted in jungle, so they tried to have him stack. They drafted greedy and tried to change course, but it was to late.


Kipsate was probably referring to enigmas inability to get anything out of the ancients if he stacks them and therefore screw him even harder. They could have done it together but that is not really an option against VG


I strongly believe Zai's Enigma play was the major factor in the downfall of EG in that game.

He had something like 0 last hits 4 minutes in.


that happens when VG gets like 3 wards in EG jungle.

Take out furion and lycan -- first ban or first pick them. These two are the biggest pushers in game
