PPD's pick strategy, especially against Chinese teams, is simple:

Ban: Leshrac, Gyrocopter
Pick: Techies/Naga/Bounty

It works because no Chinese team wants to play two out of those three heroes. As such, PPD is able to get what he wants every time. And he isn't afraid of other teams getting bounty, because he knows how to play against it.

PPD wins simply because he and his players know both what to pick and how to play it. Had other teams known how to play these heroes, there'd be no issue, but they don't.

I think CDEC understands the Phantom Lancer as a hero much better than everybody else. They are the only team I see who don't use PL as an AFK farmer until he gets his Diffusal Blade.

No, that game was over and he knew. The team likely knew it too.

Most teams don't GG when they know its over, they do when its over. EG gged here as soon as the game slipped out of their hands, there must have been some salt.

Their computers could have stopped working ding every team fight and let EG come back. But that was about it. It's really head to come from behind against bounty without a ton of split push.

I don't know why so many people are counting EG out versus LGD/VG

Neither of those teams has shown the level of play CDEC showed in game 2 (I missed most of game 1)

Close game, CDEC out team fought EG with a significant lead. Worth watching

chinese dota elite community

Is it an IHL ?

Yes the most famous one in China

LGDs original squad was developed from it

not only LGD.
Lots of player get their names known in CDEC before the go pro.
including rotk, super, lamn.... the list basically over the entire Chinese scene.

Yep for sure

It's like a non cancer version of NaDota

They had just lost 2 teamfights like 1-4, where all 4 kills CDEC had gotten were track kills, when CDEC had a far superior lategame lineup because they had a PL and EG had no real counter.

The game was over.

CDEC so goddamn confident they can waste a ban on techies

To be honest, they have 0-4 record against techies.


So first stage Techies pick in the finals against them, easy win?

edit: assuming they didn't ban first phase, I didn't actually see that


They first ban Techies every game.

No, this was just an out pick no one saw coming. That's why I have difficulty understanding how CDEC is able to out think PPD.
