Nobody thinks EHOME is a bad team.

I think they've demonstrated they are one of the top chinese teams. VG and LGD are the undisputed best 2 Chinese teams, and then it's a throw up between the 3rd best.


No, clearly a lot of people think they are a bad team, and more specifically, that they could personally play Dota beter than RotK and Cty.

Eh, I think C9 is favored.

When is TL going to make it that we can make wagers of Liquid Gold with others.

that's a good idea i have a lot of LD gold to spare( and slowly become broke cause betting on c9)

The Russian ones are on youtube. I'm sure they will add the other games at the end of the night too.

So just wondering how were the matchups for the playoffs determined? Cuz it seems to be 1 seed play a 4 seed in terms of VG's matchup, and then 2 seed plays a 3 seed for C9 and iG. But then for Secret they play a 3 seed in EHOME and LGD play a 4 seed in Empire. So the brackets don't actually end up being equal? Just wondering if this was mentioned or explained somewhere. Thanks!

Hmm interesting. In that format though it gives the Chinese teams of VG and LGD potentially easier matchups based on the seeding. While Secret and C9 who are the higher placed Western teams get harder matchups based on the seeding. Just seems strange.

I believe both Secret and VG could choose their opponent from the 3rd/4th team of the other group as the group winners. Then c9 and LGD play whoever they didn't choose. So Secret chose EHOME instead of Empire and LGD ends up playing Empire. VG chose CDEC instead of iG, and c9 ends up playing iG.

Secret and VG were allowed to choose their opponent between the 3&4

It was explained previously that the 1 seed chooses whichever team it wants to face from the other group, so VG chose CDEC and Secret chose EHOME.

People have a tendency to call a team shit in every sport. Whether that's a hockey team that is the 10th best in the world, or whatever else. If it looks like they get outclassed, they get called shit - it's kind of human nature to do so, at least the nature of some people.

Secret outclassed them, even in game 2, where they had a deficit, and managed to pull it back. If it was any other team, I would have called it a done game at the 12 minute mark, but it was Secret, and I was just thinking "kay, they have a small deficit", because they are good.

I'm doubtful than any people here genuinely think they could go beat them ezpz.


When it comes to esports I know this is false. A lot of gamers seriously believe all it takes to become good is time put into a game instead of effort.

They could go pro if they didn't have real life obligations holding them back. I've heard this stated for over a decade and when I thought the idiocy was over the same points were made this year by multiple people.

TBF even IRL Sports sometimes get maligned. Many people couldn't respect basketball as a sport until a proteam went around the country wrecking local teams to promote the sport. In this day many people have no understanding the physical challenges of NASCAR/Formula 1 even though they drive all their lives. It absolutely baffles me how they don't know.
