I cant understand how LGD won from the first. They didn't have a strong counter to lesh, also es and lesh were good heroes against pl. Yet in early game, even Vp took rax and rosh LGD never gave an opening in networth and when their carries got fat finished their game. Very impressive. %0 Leshrac win rate in main event now what?
They built BKBs. Once they had BKBs the game was over really, nothing on VP could deal with them (even if there was a miracle grip there was almost 0 damage) and rax were easy enough.
Bounty helped a lot too.
Edit: I see a lot of people pushing for BKBs on Lesh/QoP, but I don't think that would have actually made the game any more salvageable since they still had no way to cope with PL or TA

Four Chinese teams in top 5... thats brutal. I blame Secret. But as long as Americans win, Western money > Chinese money. 3 CHINESE IN TOP 4 STILL
Half-life 3 confirmed!

Nah. They usually start next match shortly after the previous, with analyst desk, interview, and video clips in between. The time on the sidebar is an estimate anyway.

So biggest surprise, VP or CDEC ?

More or less Octarine core made him a popular pick

That is so adorable. Like the mini maiden that we saw awhile back.

VP simply got outdrafted.
But at least good news is, Leshrac might not get nerfed.
I'm a dirty pony picker. Hero is too versatile and good in pubs as well.
Can play as mid, safe, or support and still own. Might even work in dual offlane lanes.

Tuskar/naga/Undying/spacecow/bounty hunter are mostly the metagame supports
SF/AM/storm/qop/gyrol/luna/TA are mostly the cores of the meta
also special mention to cancerpony or disco pony for being almost 100% banned throughout the event

lightning makes lesh win most lanes it is insanely powerful. buff to his ult makes his early game a lot stronger, one of the fastest farmers in the game that can teamfight. dishes huge amounts of damage as long as he has the mana pool for it.
Edit: thought you meant lesh

Most recent patch introduced an item called Octarine Core that allows casters like Leshrac to scale better lategame.
Leshrac in particular can become nigh-immortal with Octarine thanks to his mass AoE damage.
On top of that, all the buffs to Lightning Storm over the past several patches have made Leshrac's laning phase and farming ability extremely strong.

CDEC did better than I expected, but I also don't really follow Chinese DotA.
VP going this far, and taking out Secret was pretty intense.

Well if EG wins first, the west can still take home more than 50% of the prize pool with 50.9%. Otherwise, we better hope all of the money makes China complacent so the west can catch up in future years.
Except the players don't care about the money. They care about winning TI. The only players that became complacent even temporary were the champions.
