This is, in fact, an excellent strategy.

The cyka is only here for support. It's to give ember that late game DPS that allows him to destroy the other team.

Techies can be pushed in early.

Bloodraged lategame ember sounds almost as cancer as techies.

If one team wasn't EG I don't think I'd want either to win.

If CDEC and EHOME are both top 3, this tournament has no hype.

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.


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


Yeah yeah, I understand that. I'm not blaming CDEC for winning... It's just if they did, it would have made it more epic. Even the commentators don't have anything to say about CDEC besides looking really good this tournament. I just really like the backstory, and I can understand that many people don't feel the same way I do.


They do have a story. Most of the Chinese scene dont give new young talent a chance at all, but xiao8 made a secondary team known as CDEC. They are now the best performing Chinese team here proving that they should have given a chance and they did it by killing their metaphorical father in Xiao8.

We are seeing story being written rather than the same old story everyone thought was coming this TI.


Maybe I'm just sour, since literally every game this TI, the team I was cheering for lost (except Secret vs iG).

I think an underdog story is good, but when there are only underdogs winnings it's a bit bleh. When one team shines and beats the top dogs it's exciting for me... But once you get underdog vs underdog for the top spots, it loses some attention (just like in tennis when you have a final without Federer, Nadal, or djokovic)

Techies so fun to watch but play against it on pubs is horrifying.

"xasuygfb picked Techies".

I'd like to order 14 cute innocent baby pandas to decimate please

Secret/EG/VG are no Federer, Nadal or djkovic.
