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?


aggressif is revolutionizing how the 1 position is played.

nobody else understands how to play the carry position. everyone just tries to afk farm and let the fights come to them, and tp to help out maybe sometimes.

aggressif is just on that next level where he understands the 1 position should be fighting the most, not the least.

meh he isn't revolutionary just him and his teammates playing really well.


no other carry in dota even has a remotely similar style. there's a reason he's doing it, and winning every game with it.

Razor has an amazing 13W-24L record

I'm pretty sure EG is only concerned with how much they win with the hero. It did ok yesterday.

a sober look at g3 vs ehome should've indicated to ppd that sumail single handedly carried that game and fear could've been on any carry capable of sieging and not feeding the game away

It's pretty clear that ppd picks it so he they can focus on winning sumail the mid lane and fear can just do his thing solo. His job with razor is to not need support from the team.

Why would I? At the time, I said that you're ridiculous for saying that China > West after the group when the group had three Chinese teams in top, and five Western teams in top. The results after don't change what you said at the time.

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.

So the the (about to be) best team in the world just acknowledges they can't deal with techie and he's the strongest hero. Icefrog plzz

It totally doesnt show that he`s the strongest hero.
They just aren't prepared/practiced against techies and they are beating every other lineup. So easy ban.

there's no way a qop winning her lane wins that game though. I was sure QoP was fear's hero and they had an actual carry ready for mid

This game wasn't even a matter of CDEC out play. It was a matter of loss from the pick and then the choice to make bounty the off player.

Who the fuck is behind CDEC?

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.

I agree people give him flack for the way he sounds honestly even though he's extremely good at terminology and idioms I
