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.

Western Dota needs to win this TI to keep up the pattern.

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

I'm talking about the Pride and Joy you bring to this forum, and all the fun we have with every word you type, thats all, dont get mad please.
Its only a game after all, and your predictions are wrong.

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.
