This is going to be boring final.
probably 3:1 for one of the teams, and a total of 60 minutes of game play.
If ( and they will ) the teams pick aggressive, it all comes up to one fight around 10-12 minutes during the first high ground defence. If the aggressor don't lose too much heroes, they win, if not the game continues for 20 more minutes until the more balanced teams gets enough farm and levels so the aggressor can't do anything. And so on...
Will we watch games like lets say last year's Liquid Vs LGD, or Na'Vi vs Tongfu? Probably no. Will we watch games that will be like game 5 of last years final? Hell no.
Lets hope that they will draft for at least 1 game more balanced team, so we can watch a nice long even game.
TBH i won't even watch it, but will give it a chance - probably game one, and / or maybe listening to the stream for one more game - if they make spectacle, will watch to the end, if not i am very sorry that when so much money comes in to the sport, the quality drops, i don't want dota to look like football in a few years - everyone know that many matches are set up but no one can or want's to prove it.
They have to play for the fans always, not just say they do. After all its US - the community that will make every single player of the winning team a millionare.

Is the starting ceremony in 3.5 hours and the game in 5.5 hours? Trying to time out the start of the actual games. xD

If it was LGD DK then i would agree to what you said. Are you kidding me, VG and NB are the most anti-eastern eastern teams in dota history. EG looks more like a chinese team, c9 just drafted retardedly.

LGD vs DK will very very rarely make a 12 mins game. If one of the teams makes too many early mistakes and the deaths score is 13:0 then yeah, maybe. .
If you like to watch "6 pool" every game i don't. I want long hyped games, that often are decided by a split second good / bad move. That can go either way to the end, and you can not be sure who will win even if one of the teams has 20k + gold / exp advantage.

Well I dont want a 50 min seige where 1 team cant get out of their base for 30 minutes and the other team gets a 40k gold lead in the meantime, leading to no chance of winning and just a totaly anticlimactic finish

I am watching the rebroadcast of game 3 and I see Super with insanely long fingernails, polished and all... anyone know if this is common in chinese dota or if it helps pressing buttons? I would have thought it would hinder you in hitting your keys..

Just curious so thought i'd ask here ;o

I'll be cheering for VG today. I already liked rOtk a lot, but after yesterdays interview after winning against DK he gained some mad respect from me. Also they have Fy, always a playmaker.
