EG gained an advantage in both of the games because CDEC had to use a ban on techies. CDEC still won with a handicap. Ouch.

Please, VG is 6-0 as well.


7-0.
It'd be super epic if they meet CDEC in Grand Finals with a 11-0.

Why would that happen?

Sportsmen make a hell of a lot more in many others sports and don't quit.


In a hell of a lot of other sports they earn a high salary though and don't rely on a once a year tournament that you have to win for that money.

I'm sure these guys must have found the game fun enough to play for years without monetary gain. Haha. I doubt that will evaporate once that check is in their hands. Or, I mean if it ends up in their hands.

Yea I really wish that they can find another Chinese translator. He does his job and translates, but he doesn't convey the same meaning and emotion that the players actually say. Such as in the Xiao8 and rOtK interviews, there are little things that the Chinese players say, but he simplifies it and takes out the emotion.


Josh is the most competent Chinese-English esports translator I've ever seen TBH, I have no idea what you're talking about. He's incredibly thorough and detailed.

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.


Sigh.


Until now, obviously.

story of ur career


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.

can you stop, you're embarrassing yourself


Why don't you quote yourself saying PPD is going to get out pick by CDEC then?

Whats sad for me is that PPD doesnt let FEAR a chance to carry them , pick him the PL , pick an AM , pick him something he can carry your ass , trying to outsmart yourself with those off meta picks , when teams start with the off meta it almost always fail.
wasting your #1 on a razor , a god damn razor ......that hero is bad beyond believe and has no function in the game now days.

Err... TL Dota even when it wasn't it's own site was never as strict as TL Starcraft. It's the nature of the community.

TL got a lot more strict after SC2 came around I feel. Smaller community = more troll shit allowable.

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


eg is 3-0 vs ehome/cdec using techies
they are 1-4 without it

so yes, cdec is first stage banning techies and it is a good ban
do you have enough resolve, hero of justice?

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.


It's not just that.

I'm simply unable to understand what's so special about this team (There is no question that something is).

They are just stomping every team on the planet with what looks like a simple, solid, basic strategy that they use every single game. I can't for the life of me understand how they destroy every team the moment a team-fight starts.

The only thing I can think of is that these are actually the best players in the world and because of politics nobody in China realized how good they were.

I've heard Aggresif and Shiki have the highest MMRs in China server? Maybe all it needs is good coordination plus very good individual skill?


They're out smarting people. Every day they play the smarter the look.
