So how high will the highest ranking chinese team be in the tourney? I'm gonna be optimistic for them and say 5th.


Its day one of the GROUP stages pal.

Need I remind you take Newbee was almost eliminated from TI4 then went on to rape every team in the playoffs?


That Newbee was very impressive, I agree. But you sure this is the same Newbee? Because from what I remember that Newbee, even though they did end 7-8, didn't get stomped in 30 minute games back to back.

Everyone has bad games. Or bad days. Game like that can break their spirit pretty hard, though I kind would expect them to pick themselves up again even after getting stomped.


I don't think the issue with Newbee is their spirit. In fact, I think Newbee has one of the best mentalities around, which is why they were able to make such an amazing comeback at TI 4 in the first place. But there's a limit to what mentality's able to do. It's now known that they spent five months slacking off while the rest of the scene was training, experimenting, getting ahead, etc. One best hope, for the sake of Dota, that behavior won't result in success, just as it didn't in the case of Na'Vi - eventually - and iG and Alliance.

The TI curse is exactly that - complacency and loss of motivation. It's struck Newbee no less hard than it's struck every other team who's won TI.
Like I said, "I kind of would expect them to pick themselves up again even after getting stomped."

I wasn't aware they'd been playing no dota since TI though. Haven't been following the scene as much since then. Mind sharing some links on it so I can read up?

For people who are playing for the sake of competing. It would not feel good.

While the money is obviously great but they mainly for the glory of dominating. (Except maybe some teams)

2x games of 430 on Morph hard carrying the team. Don't think they're going to get away with that strategy the rest of the tournament.
