Nobody knows anything about CDEC, and EHOME hasn't done anything in years... When the teams aren't very known, doesn't make it very exciting imo.

So you have Cinderella story of every TI ever and rotk/BigDickDad/cty coming back to win it all and you are not hyped?

To be fair. CDEC and EHOME are the two chinese teams who still bring the most hype out of the whole bunch Ehome the rotk team and CDEC the wildcard.


I guess I'm just boring, and want the titans to prevail. I was really hoping for a LGD and EG win, then VG and Secret to fight from the losers bracket... And then that be the top 4, in whatever order.

It just makes it more hype for me... I guess I care a lot about the stuff that happens outside of the games. I'm not saying that these teams don't have personality, but I don't know anything about CDEC, and only know rotk decently well...

Meanwhile teams like Secret, EG, VG, or LGD... I understand most of their players way better.

EHOME hasn't done anything but rotk, cty, and lanm certainly have. Sure, maybe it's not hype for viewers who don't follow Chinese scene at all, but you can't say that the tournament will have no hype based on people ignorant of the Chinese scene.

This feels so good actually. I don't think there was a single team that was as ignored (at least on LD) as much as Ehome during the group stages. Sometimes it's very satisfying to be able to think 'I told you so'.
On a purely personal note, I'd like to show Yellow the beauty of infinitely repeating Starcraft 2 bunkers. -Boxer

I want EG to take this BO3, but it would be fantastic to see ehome get to the grand finals. rOtK you legend.


I fixed that for you, Ark ;p . My head said EG before the series started but EHOME have been on a rampage. I hope EG pick up their game (and draft) for G2 to make this an even game.

EHOME and CDEC and MVP have impressed me the most this tournament. As an EG fan, I'm pretty disappointed with that game 1 performance. I don't know why they took that team fight at the bottom of the tournament.

i honestly do not give a shit about secret at this point, if these 3 teams end up in top 3 (is it possible with the brackets?), i'll be more than happy. no navi, no secret, who cares?


Secret honestly sucked this tournament. They had this cocky undefeatable aura, but had the usual one strat/style the entire tournament. Pretty funny to see that their Secret is out.

it's a huge underdog story and both play an exciting style

also rotk, cty being reborn as a player who does things after the laning phase, return of an old champion in ehome, cdec recovering from the loss of their star mid and rising above lgd, etc

sooo Ehome has all magic damage and you dont buy a bkb on AM? lol

Fear had total of vlads+manta+bf when this game ended.



and? you go bkb before manta when they have that much magic. Especially when they have a luna and a storm spirit.

If you go bkb before manta you end up having no damage and becoming even more irrelevant. Also, WW and DS give 0 fucks about bkb.


Manta gives only marginally more damage than bkb when you have limited farm, and WW and DS give no fucks about manta either. There isnt a spell you can manta out of in that game. He got repeatedly locked down by storm, which bkb would have been great.

Manta gives you much more damage than bkb by definition of mana break + illusions + mana void interaction. Also, he got manta against orchid, genius.


Durr Bkb works against orchid too. So he got manta soley for orchid when bkb would work just as well AND work for all of their damage. Mana break is good with manta if you can actually attack their heros without getting locked down, which he couldnt. genius

Yes, because bkb would work worse as much as i say dislike manta on ember, bkb would work worse here because it means he has to only go out once bkb is ready and blow 10 second bkb just to save himself from being jumped by storm.

If the "Titans" are simply not good enough, then they are not the real Titans.

What are CDEC ? the arrogant rival or the go lucky hero that joins them later or something ?

Honestly though, do you need to much about CDEC?

They're a wild card team that came out of nowhere and are now guaranteed to finish top 3. How can you not be hyped by a cinderella story?
