A 2-2 China-EG/TS at top4 is still more than most people expected, and if we get 4 chinese teams top 8, or heck even top6 i'd be more than GREAT for what was expected, but keep rolling with your predicitions, so far we're enjoying them it seems.

My life. My pride. My power. Given to C9 but it was not enough. It was never enough.


I learned after the Summit 2 that it will never ever be enough


Being a C9 fan sounds harder than being Batman.


Where's the Stockholm Syndrome?

I don't think anyone should be building a team around EE. He's a guy you pick up to complete a team you already have a good idea of and a captain/drafter for.

Heh. It's the rarest commodity only if we confine it to good captains/drafters, and with that qualification, EE wouldn't be one of them. You know, everyone just shouts support Tinker over and over again, but so far it seems like PLD was the best drafter C9 had.

I don't know that a good captain/drafter is rare, so much as it seems a lot harder for people to appreciate. It's dead obvious when someone is good at playing 1 position carry. Apparently it's not obvious when someone is good at drafting. I'd extend that to offlaners, since you mention them. I don't think good offlaners are rare so much as people don't understand what they are supposed to do and thus subject practically every single one to the same script about being horrible feeders.

Did they not rise and fall together? I count five Chinese teams in the final ten.

And don't count out the West before it's done.



I have LGD-TS-EG top3, I'm not counting anyone out.

Envy got too greedy; I think C9 as a team falls apart with possibly Envy and bone staying on. I don't think Envy will ever win TI with bone though


they won't win a major tourney with bone.


I don't disagree with this at all. When the kicked PLD and aui, I thought it should have been bone instead of AUI. I can see why they picked PLD because misery is legit better IMO.

Is Secret drafting starting to be too predictable? It's insane how everyone thought this team was THE unstoppable team, being paralleled to TI3 Alliance, yet they just get dumpstered by ROTK's drafts.

I mean, I like Secret and I thought their odds of winning were fairly low. Maybe higher than any other team in a predictive sense but... Just not enough going on there to call it for them at an event this competitive.

Then why are you even talking? A Western year does not indicate that all Western teams do well. I thought I went over this: Chinese teams rise and fall together, but the same is not the case for Western teams.

pld was not better than ee, they both shared the same issue where they choked in important matches against formidable opponents and drafted weird as fuck after losing close games

bone7 also shares that latter trait incidentally

though i guess their elmination game at ti3 was a passable draft, they just threw their chances of playing the draft properly with the level 1 roshan call

So in the interest of re-watching the Bone7 Phoenix to see how he lost lane that badly, I got to see that he wasted his first 300 gold after Boots to buy Orb of Venom rather than finishing Tranqs.

Also, he didn't start with Boots, but bought it from sideshop after FB, and more or less just didn't know how to lasthit with Phoenix.

I'm convinced that all of us C9 fans are guilty of some horrible sins in a past life and have to atone by being C9 fans.
