Watch West win it still.



Doesn't matter, it disproves your theory that the Eastern scene is somehow weak.


They're above where I thought they were but doesn't matter unless they win. I thought coming in that they were going to place in six but not in three. They now have one team in three. But we still have to see whether they're able to go further.




You thought that the East didn't even remotely have a chance of winning. Let's not pretend you even thought that the Eastern teams were going to do decent.


I still don't think they have a shot.



Why? You currently have 4 Eastern teams in the top 6. VP is highly inconsistent, so there's a pretty decent chance that a Chinese team ends up winning.

Because they are from China. There is literally nothing else beyond that. He will find some reason, but at the end of the day its all that matters to him is where the team is from.


This isn't the case at all. I didn't say that the West is going to win last year. I said, going in, that they both had a shot.

You are full of shit. So full of shit. I don't even need to mind your posts, someone else will find it for me.

So full of shit.


Nope. Go look for it. It isn't hard to find.

More interesting than TI4 and TI3 imo.

Wait until grand final techies.


That's the only fly in the ointment here. Hopefully we don't see it :|


Last game. Clock goes past 70 minutes. EG and CDEC (or EHOME idk really) taking a base race. China ahead, looks like the'll kill the ancient first. Suddenly all chinese heroes freeze. what's this? a wild stasis trap appears. full 5-man 4s freeze. EG win with techies killing the chinese ancient with a techies mine.
Seattle burns the next day.

Why can't people just enjoy the games instead of blaming each other and debating the whole time?

fun to discuss though, isn't a big part of sports rooting for teams and stuff?

i do remember you saying a couple years back that the chinese scene is suffering from the lack of young talent to replace the old generation. this was even before TI4.


They still do, actually, but two years ago it was especially bad.

but the reality is that a large proportion of top chinese players now are new players.


A large % of the ones still remaining in the tournament. Not coming in.
