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.


But I guess we can say China > West now.

most teams fight around the carry, but CDEC fight around everyone. it makes early fighting vs them hard, and the aggression they bring can't be matched.


Didn't the Secret strategy article mention their gyro (1 pos) rotations into fights as a part of their winning strategy before ti?

Catering to the generic western fan for more profit.
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.

Pretty much happens every time EG loses in TI and get knocked to the losers bracket. Fans are salty and then the counter accusations of racism and "standards slipping". Though if you look at really old TL from BW, you know it isn't true.

I'm pretty sure there wasn't much East vs West in BW.
More like KT fans vs SKT fans.

No, but those forums were flame happy and filled with stuff that would get you banned now. Just look at any thread with Artosis and idra. Or incontrol and testie. It was a different time.

What's been up with Razor this tournament? Doesn't seem to be doing much, but teams are still willing to pick it.

EG are overwhelming favorites at this point. They haven't played the best Dota in the event, but to them that's irrelevant. They will just outdraft the opposition and bore them out of the game like they always do. I don't really see any of the remaining teams beating them unless ppd chokes.


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.


All this effort and you missed the best one:

Maybe I expected too much from navi because I didn't even think they would make it to TI. I guess China just > europe and NA and it's not even close.


What the fuck are you talking about? Three Western/SEA teams are locked in in A. Only ONE Chinese team is going to advance from that group.

In B, EG is basically locked in, while VP is looking to be locked in unless they drop both games to Ehome. CDEC is at the top of the groups but Empire has an easy match the next day. There are three Western teams sitting at top 4 in B. In case shit falls where they ought to, then only ONE of four Chinese teams is going to advance from B.

Two Chinese teams going to top 8 is NOT China > Europe / NA, given that we have a decent shot of having SIX Western teams going to top 8.


madboys will stay mad...LGD and CDEC topping their group while Ehome are also qualifying for upper bracket...china > west

and before start of TI,people were fapping about secret and EG easily topping their group which isn't happening now..sorry western madboy,stay mad


You think Secret and EG are going to show all in the group? They are here to win, not top the group.

LGD and especially CDEC are going to get destroyed by EG and Secret in the actual event. Did you even see how badly CDEC got destroyed by Virtus Pro? Virtus Pro isn't even the best Western team here. EG wins when ever they prepare, and you're going to see that. As for LGD, LGD doesn't have the skills to win without getting an out pick. We saw that in the first game vs. Secret. They're going to lose the next time they meet up.

And the rest of the Chinese teams get to destroy each other in lose.

yeah, arteezy mentioned they just played pubs and used pub mentality in tournaments (everyone comes to fight, and you always fight) because it throws off your opponent.

NO IDEA why they didn't keep doing that at TI though lol
