well, CDEC's back to their cookie cutter draft they've stomped with all tournament long and EG lineup seems kinda suspect, but we'll see. so far I'm favouring CDEC

Well the people who are saying "it's all about watching night level dota, doesn't matter who wins" are just patting themselves on the back. It's about them feeling superior to. The people cheering for their favorite team.

dude you've been trolled by Azarkon. His plan is to get people against the frontrunners lmao

just root for EG and chill

I mean, the last time I doubted PPD they played the most perfect, disciplined dota I've seen in a long time.

I doubt, PPD. Help me in my unbelief.

why is it that the chinese teams always manage to easily secure late-game in every draft. this is such an incredible advantage for main stage. every timing is just 5 minutes later, every agression a bit more timid or avoided all together. Timing strats are just so much worse on TI main stage. It seems like most western teams are not even trying to have an answer, or chance to ever win late game... I don't get it...

Western teams not respecting / playing PL is the problem, just like how china didn't respect io at TI3

There's a slight difference between saying "I love EG cuz I like my country being represented" and "I won't cheer for a single Chinese team so if it's China v China I'll stop watching."

And why is it not full?!

cuz secret lost yesterday.

dropped viewership all around by at least 25%.

and after today they'll be lucky if it's half full for the grand finals...

TBH if its LGD vs CDEC finals I'm probably not going to watch

And then everyone will remember this amazing tournament as terrible because they can't cheer for a Chinese team even if it's an awesome cinderella story with a team that honestly just plays amazing Dota.

Yeah wtf is this stupid behavior, people really are that close minded??

Why don't we wait until after it happens before we declare dota fans to be closed minded. And the blow back of fan favorite teams being beaten. You can't expect fans to jump ship instantly.

Nothing to do with "jumping ship". Just being able to enjoy the gameplay if it is high level no matter what skin color the players have who play the game.

i'm an ig and mvp fan, but also a fan of watching good games so i still tune in despite salt. nothing to do with jumping ship.

Thank you, exactly my thoughts

I'm an EG fan. I'm not gunna cheer for some other team because they have a nice story. But I can see you have found a reason to feel superior to people cheering for them. Well played.

when egs playing, like now, thats 100% fair and understandable. I just don't get how people who love dota enough to go there would actively ignore a match because western teams arent playing. or even watch online fr the rest of us.

Normally I disagree with you, but I have to say you're right here.

For example, EG plays good doto and I respect that but I still hope they lose every game fuck those guys.
