Yeah.. if you've watched CDEC play and you're bored then I don't know what you want from dota. Maybe you'd rather have a dota soap opera or dota anime or something?

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.

was so happy to watch EHOME completely demolish their ass

Same. While I like all the players on Secret, I get really annoyed by bandwagons and overhype teams. So seeing Secret get stomped was cathartic.

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.

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.


i'd vouch on rotk + lanm , especially rotk that dude suddenly goes super sayan every international

Unless he's with Burning.

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.


So stop being closed minded. Watch, learn something about the teams you don't know, and enjoy the quality dota.

Well in spectating competitions hype do add to the enjoyment so i understand FiWiFaKi is getting at. However if they aren't good enough we can't do anything with that

(also picking octarine second is forever a bad idea...)

What I don't like is EG first picking lina. Lina is a counter to QOP/Gyro. And they banned Gyro themselves.

Meh... whatever, still a solid hero.

I don't know anything about Sumail aside from that video they made of him so theoretically EG has 0 hype as well I hope they get eliminated right away to make way for the more storied teams.

You see. Doesn't quite work does it?


I watch chinese leagues (albeit a bit less than western ones), but PPD is a big character, Aui, Universe, Fear... They are all ones we are familiar with. Meanwhile, it's been difficult for me to learn about most of these chinese players. Lots of meaning lost in translation etc.

Anyway, I'm going to go watch the next game now, just sharing my perspective.
