Even so, they finished above two top Chinese teams.

I'm just sad for Empire.

Hasn't it been a while since iG or NewBee were "top Chinese teams?"


Who else is there? Ehome, CDEC, LGD, VG, IG, and Newbee are the top Chinese teams and no one thought IG was behind Ehome and CDEC before this tournament.

Are you sure? I don't follow the Chinese DotA scene that much but people I know who do say that iG was just overhyped because of Burning.


The list given before the tournament had: LGD > VG > IG > Ehome > Newbee > CDEC


Then you hasn't been watching the chinese scene... CDEC was actually rocking in several finals. They didn't win one though.

aghs on weaver is not that bad

If that aghs spell was on any other hero no matter what ult that hero has, it would be most broken spell in the game.

When Demon was on a call with March, March was basically saying that they know they wont win. Ofc theyll try, but they wanna have fun too.

That was long before they thought they had a chance to make some serious money. Even if it's a major shot in the dark, I highly doubt they are gonna clown around when a major increase of prize money is on the line.

This was 1 day ago before Demon left for Seattle.

Ice3 was in the same room and they were just hanging out.

I don't think they were overhyped. They still played well at the LANS like red bull. Going in, their betting odds put them on par with LGD, and slightly behind VG. Sure, they might not have performed here, but one tournament doesn't mean they're trash - even if it's TI.

That was PR with lvl1 rosh + greed maxing Alch + aghs weaver against Alliance, not VG.

i think TI is making it very apparent what heroes need nerfs

lesh, lina, gyro. heroes that dominate in lane, dominate mid game, and scale very well into late. heroes need to have weaknesses, these fuckers are OP


And what heroes need to be deleted from the game: Techies.

I wish Korea got into dota instead of LoL back then. Imagine our korean overlords.

I feel like people wouldn't complain about the faceless Koreans as much as we do in SC.

I dont get east vs west or korea vs world. If you like a player or team you like a player or team.

Korea vs. the world made even less sense, since we wouldn't even have much SC being played at this level without the Koreans.


It's just fun to have a home team to root for.


As someone from England. I disagree completely.

Well played.

But you still root for them?

I guess when it's not fun your brain convinces you it is.


In England we draw from a hat and root for whatever team we get. England is not allowed to be in the hat. Only disappointment comes from supporting England in anything.

Oh please. You guys have it easy

More like they operate off of same logic as you, and that's faulty logic.

He might learn from game 1 and get some defensive items this time, but he did rush Skadi so it's not like he went full YOLO.

The problem was that even if he had BKB, once he gets caught by a stun without a Q, he's dead to the burst. VG had a lot of burst to deal with single pick offs if he was even slightly out of position.
