I guess the demise of the Chinese was greatly exaggerated. LGD and especially CDEC was pretty impressive.

My point exactly.

How did they fuck this up so badly. Jesus fucking christ. They should all retire after TI. Never going to win one. Bleh. the worst shit is if they beat VG/Na'Vi then flop in their next match I think it'd be worse if they flopped to VG/Na'Vi.
c9 does this little thing where they give you hope and then crushes it

Misery's the only good player on the team, the others should've faded into irrelevance after TI4. I feel bad for Jack for paying them. Can you stop it please Mensol?
I will stop shitting on them when they start being good.

That's a stupid way of looking at this game. By that argument, no one in Starcraft in the last several years is new too.

In Starcraft a player whose apparent prime was in 2007-2008 would not be able to come back and win an international tournament in 2013.
I don't want to start an argument about mechanical demand, but from their respective histories, it's pretty clear that Starcraft is a game that's way more punishing to older players that are past their prime. The comparison to Starcraft in this regard is really not that appropriate.

Yes, shockingly, every pro does not come out of nowhere.
So sorry to kill your narrative.

EE's a social recluse and found himself actually developing a friendship with Aui, had to kick him before it could strengthen.

Nobody comes out of no where. Doesn't = there isn't new talent.

And what makes you think this argument is wrong? Also, i talk tier 2/3 teams in WPC ACE, i don't talk about random online qualifiers.
