I wouldn't even mind China vs China finals as long as one of the team's in the finals isn't CDEC because I have literally zero interest in that team or any of its players (sorry to all 5 CDEC fans).

I just can't help it but I'm just sad whenever a Chinese team beats a western team. I feel nothing for the Chinese, most likely because of the language barrier and different culture.

Seeing TI5 dominated by the Chinese again is kinda killing most of the hype for me.


^i never get that kind of mindset, is not like east and west have distinct play styles nowadays so if you just cover the faces up you won't be able to tell who's playing against who

Somehow I get the 'sad' part though is like some people hating on Chinese 'ricing' games back then (when c9 riced more iirc) they will use whatever reason to hate on the teams -speaking this as an Asian looking dude surviving in the western world, everything still comes down to some natural human reaction. Funny thing is Chinese viewers will have no problem to keep watching if all of their teams dropped out (while they are being sad) and root for whatever team they like next.

Bare in mind I bet CDEC barely have any fans from Chinese viewers too lol


For me personally as I kinda feel the same way as Champloo:

The thing about the Chinese teams that makes me uninterested is just that I actually haven't watched their scene the entire year. So barely know what players are on the team.

This is my thoughtprocess when I think of what players are on what teams:

CDEC? Don't know a single player.
Ehome? Think ROTK and Lanm is on Ehome. Is burning there? Idk
iG? Chuan Ferrari and Faith are still on. Don't remember who the other two are
Newbee? Mu is on but Hao left for VG.
LGD? Can't remember a single player.

VG: ice x3, fy, fenrir, Hao and Super

So yeah, that's the players I know on top of my head. It's kinda hard to get excited when I don't even know their rosters.

I can cheer for VG because I know that team, the others not so much.

Has nothing to do with race. I just don't know the teams so have like 0 connection to them.



are you a potato bear now, how do you not know a single player on lgd wtf is wrong with u. l2p kkkthx.

im a huge rtz fanboy but it doesnt stop me from liking all the teams which showcase their skills. like agressif from cdec that guy is definitely getting ninjaed to a t1 team after ti or like how fucking legit qos sf is even though the idiots on newbee doesnt even ban it and end up getting wrecked. if you actually watch dota instead of a being a mindless fan you might enjoy TI more.
rtz is like the Bieber of dota, true Canadian treasure.

c9 brute forcing towers with Pugna+UD is like the most c9 thing to do after bone7 started drafting. It has worked for them before (obviously BS was a new pick in this context), but the issue was just that how on earth is it going to work against VG's lineup. How will you brute force towers against Gyro, ES, WW, Sniper, DS? And I don't really see another way for c9 to play that game either. They have UD+Pugna, it's not like they can somehow split the map and play a pickoff game either. VG can do that better with ES alone. VG also have heroes that scale well to later game and they have very strong teamfight throughout the game.

Imagine if VG last picked Storm instead of hohohaha...

Last year's finals was shitty because of the meta, not because it was China vs China.
If you don't find ANY of the Chinese teams exciting to watch then I don't know what to say. Must be more interested in personalities and stories than actually watching dota.

C9 was the easiest upper bracket loser. Col will give VP a run for their money, at the very least.
So zen.

Yeah C9 comes to mind
But they are so overrated that I almost believe they are good

But then again CoL might also be overated
Just because they get away from an easy group does not mean they're good
So far only newbee and empire is the losing team that came from group B
Other losers are secret, Na'Vi, hot6, C9, CoL, fnatic
(CMIIW about hot6, I got them mixed with phx too Often)
Which means CoL get away to higher bracket by being the best among the worse

Yeah, Col isn't really an aegis contender on the average day atm, but they did beat C9 2-0, and have shown disciplined play with decent enough drafts. They can take a series off teams like CDEC or VP, imo.
So zen.

Again bro, I don't think beating C9 is an achievement nowadays
If they beat EG yesterday, thats an achievement

Col got the shit last night in game1 and then they went full tilting after they get destroyed by fear, game2 they simply don't have the mental states to win the game anymore, happens very often when no1 vs no2 in the same region because they know their regional playstyle so well (e.g. no SEA team can beat team mushi/malaysia). See how col plays so differently when they are not against EG, I think they can go further if they just calm their horses.

Well, octarine QoP doesn't deserve to win, more so when they didn't push that hard as well
