I'd put it in the harsh-but-fair box. I just wanted to confirm that I was reading the schedule right, since it seemed pretty aggressive.

On the whole I think Valve have done a really good job with the schedule so far.

I'd definitely prefer if it was only the grand finals on the last day, but I guess it makes sense since they don't wanna do 4 Bo3's in 1 day.

I just wanna see EG completely smash everyone and sweep the finals in a one-sided boring 3-0 grand finals. Enough to make everyone complain about reddit about how awful the tournament is only because the finals is awful. That shit amuses me.


no one is gonna complain if EG wins in the same way that newbee did win TI4. I'll betyou anything


People were already bitching in game 3 of the last EG series, they certainly will.

I mean, "no one [on the internet] will complain" is among the most unlikely predictions known to man, no matter the context.

However, it's fair to say western viewers will respond better to an EG 3-0 than they did to an NB 3-0.

The finals last year were pretty much universally agreed on as being awful. I don't think it's a western bias at all, if Na'vi and Alliance played those exact same games everyone still would have hated them.

If the finals are bad in any way you can guarantee there's going to be a reddit thread about it, they complain about everything. Threads complaining about some minor thing valve hasn't fixed hit front page, do you really think they won't criticize a bad finals just because it's a western team?

As a Chinese I never thought of saying C deck. It is the abbreviation of China Dota Elite Community.


So I've been wondering about this. Does this mean that when you see something more common such as NASA you would actually say "n-a-s-a"? Generally in English people tend to try and say acronyms as words so the National Aeronautics and Space Agency is just nasa. The interesting thing is that typically acronyms are designed to be spoken as words. So a lot of time the actual words in them are semi nonsense. For example if I were to make a robot that picked up kiwis I could call it a F.O.R.K or Front Operated Robot for Kiwis.

VG vs CDEC would be my dream final. EG in a bo5 is too much to handle, fy is feeling himself again but we know what happened the last time it happened he was destroyed.

With Super stepping up and Hao looking a bit shaky yesterday, I think things are shaping to be good. Top 3 Baby!

EG is too smart for CDEC. They won't let CDEC have their dire side. They'll ban Lesh and Gyro and pick some pocket pick like Techies themelves.

I want CDEC to beat EG but the game in group stages wasn't even close.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

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.

EG has been the (possible) secret 2.0 before the tournament even started.

I'm ready for the intense anti EG circlejerk in 17 hours.


I am as well; Azarkon's secret plan is to make everyone dislike the frontrunner non-Chinese teams lolol; we saw it against EHOME where a ton of people were anti-EG just to rub it in Azarkon's face
