Guys, ignore the nationality and think about this

one team is composed of rejected, kicked and abandoned players while another is (supposed to be) an all-star team brought and bought by a millionaire for the sole purpose of winning the international.

One team topped the group stages while the other dangled between elimination and tie-breakers.

One team climbed its way out of the bowels of the lowest seed to become the first finalist while the other had to fall and again climbed thru the toughest path to get the finals.

One was left the promise of an old friend while the other was left something to prove.

Both will fight for the money but most importantly, like EVERY dota game, both will fight for immortality.

wow valve should make a hype video for this match and get you to narrate it

Ok VG. If you kick my favourite teams out, at least win it today. No excuses.

It is interesting that VG seems to only play two different style the whole tournament: they either play death ball push or Morphling. However, there are so many different push compositions that nobody can ban them all. It is strange that teams know the push is coming, yet they still draft very greedy, game 1 DK vs VG and EG vs VG come to mind. Let's see what NB is going to handle it. I expect NP to be hotly contested between the two teams.

Unfortunately all the teams I started rooting for lost and were eliminated pretty fast. So I should root for Newbee now...

I bet we are going to we a lot of DK and razor. And pugna. Or maybe they will go nuts and draft KotL PL.

If you want me to think straight i would say, director8 has his script ready for this, he has always been great at defeating chinese teams (remember how LGD destroyed chinese teams easily while having no clue to play against western teams).

But fear not, road to the king will take the throne if they play like how they played yesterday. Fuck script Fuck director, VG will give us the best revenge this year (no defeating DK wasn't good enough).

my betting direction is simple (mainly due to the fact that 1 immortal is like 0.20c to me lol), so win or lose it doesnt matter much to me, always bet on the team that you like or, when you dont really care about both team/cant tell which team to go for, go for the team with better rate, 10% LGD vs iG made me 6 rares (and some retarded high value uncoms >_>) with shitty immortal lol

obviously you dont bet on team like Arrow etc.

Honestly have to say I'm very disappointed EG or C9 didn't get to the finals, not at them but more so at the fact I wanted a NA team to win after Na'Vi was eliminated and EG or C9 winning would of been legit. Another TI win for China it seems.

/sigh guess I'll still catch some of the finals and hope for some good games
