Yeah I dont get it, plays like that pre-emptive Requeim and 90% accurate shadowrazes are good no matter which team you are playing against.

Just because the opposition is lousy doesn't discredit the level that QO played to


They have a difficult time accepting that a region with no players is able to produce skilled teams.

They don't understand.


There was a game called Brood War...

QO was no s4 or Maybe but he was really damn impressive that game. His Requiems were always perfectly timed and hit a lot of the enemy and his decisions were on point compared to the YOLO one we saw in group stages.

It's ridiculous how fast these teams are improving.

This is why Koreans beat other regions in every video game that they have a lot of teams in.


This is with their domestic scene basically folding with KDL being done.
If Korean dota had half the support that Korean LoL has they would be much further.


Of course. They'd have taken over by now.


Chinese LoL teams have already given up and started to buy Korean players for their teams.
Korean teams can't financially keep most of their top players because of the huge gap in pay between China and Korea.


I know. I follow both scenes, though I am a Dota fan first.

The Chinese won't ever be able to do what Koreans do in video games, because there is a fundamental difference in attitude. Of that, I was always sure. It's why, even in years when the Chinese win, I said that they won't take over. They simply lack the culture for it.

Which is funny because Korea has assimilated many Chinese culture.
Since the founding of Joseon Korean culture has been hugely influenced by Confucianism.


I don't think that has anything to do with it. The culture I'm talking about is the attitude of Korean professionals, who do whatever it takes to improve their own game, and spend 14 hours a day, every day, to do it. The Chinese managers in LoL have talked about it and why they need to import Korean players - because Chinese players just lack the same attitude. We see that in Dota too. For example, Newbee not playing Dota for six months, iG not practicing during practice time, etc.

It really doesn't. You don't need Bo1s at all. Being seeded into the loser's bracket is bad enough.


It's already less than TI3 which was less than TI2. Maybe next year there won't be Bo1s but they need one more day.

literally the last chance to show these videos for one of the teams

i mean i'd also prefer if they went straight to the game, but i understand they want to show them at the main event at least once after going through all the effort of making them
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer

probably letting the players set up and verify their settings and such; they can't do it "ahead of time" because they just walked into the booths

WW aside though, Newbee also had the most random (read: none at all) focus in teamfights. And June spent most of the fights randomly walking around, putting down cogs then dying.

That was largely bad coordination. Someone on Newbee needed to manage the WD ulti, and only Clock and Eul's QoP can really handle it.

It should be fine for QoP to deal with it, but Rabbit kept blinking to weird places and putting himself in situations where he had to Eul's himself, which makes it hard for June to work out what the team needs him to do in fights.

I liked the last TI format, the only problem was the shit schedule. First day of main event we already knew that newbee and EG would be in top 3, thats ridiculous.
