A few USA chants are fine but please don't do it too much.

Stop the stupid USA arguments, thanks.

On another note, CDEC flairs are now live. Sorry about the delay on that.

They made plenty of (bad) mistakes against CDEC.

Pit Lord to be added to CM for the Grand Finals. News just in, Deadma5 will also be playing while the grand finals are going on. It's going to be amazing!


they should add Oracle to CM for Grand Finals too, have fun drafting boys

And Earth Spirit. Chaos ensues.

I don't think PPD has ever lost finals to any team other than Secret.

CDEC has never won a finals.

This is a win for America, and another loss for China in the year of loss.

PPD lost finals to Empire, to VG, to iG. So get your facts straight, West fanfriend.


They did lose to Empire, but that's another Western team. I don't think PPD has lost this year to a Chinese team in the finals.


they've only played one tournament this year where they faced a chinese team in the finals


What's important is that CDEC has been in the finals a lot in China, but never won.


EG is not a "Chinese team".

We don't know whether CDEC finals choking abilities extend to any finals they are in tho. That's why i am almost sad because EG will win it and Azarkon won't shut up despite this tournament being complete failure for West.

Lol, when CDEC stomped C9 it was "young players > old players I was always right".

Azarkon hedges his bets by saying everyone will win.
Average means I'm better than half of you.

CDEC so far were the ones making fewest mistakes even though they somehow get away out of it on like no HP.

WB team should get to pick both side + first pick in all matches. I'd say thats close to fair for not having a second life

Difficult choice.

TI1 barely even counts as TI. The latter IMO

The only TI where there were 4-team groups and half the teams couldn't even practice the games on their computers?

Does this make pick and bans more difficult for CDEC? It seems like EG outpicked LGD like crazy this match, It also seems like there are a lot of heroes that the Chinese don't want to face, more than they can ban in the first cycle.

No, it is fine as it is now. A final should be a final without advantage. CDEC already has the advantage of not having to play another exhaustive BO3 today.


These Dota nerds play like 12 hours a day anyway they'd be fine. Just as much argument that they aren't properly warmed up and in the zone like EG will be now.


Being able to watch and analyze your potential opponents is a pretty big advantage though.

The advantage is they are well rested and can plan and analyze their opponents. Stay salty.

Lol this argument is so dumb. The fans of whichever team made it to the finals form the winners side are always going to complain about no advantage, and the other team's fans are always going to say the same thing.

Honestly it's probably fine the way it is.

they play one game less, its a pretty big advantage.


That's not how double elimination tourneys work. Extra rest isn't enough of an advantage. Eg would be eliminated now if it was single elimination.


just take it as a special stage of the tournament and not part of the double elimination.

i never understand the "its not fair" argument, because there is no way to abuse this "unfairness". you are not going to lose on purpose because you want to make use of that extra life, the extra series you have to play is way to dangerous to go for it.

Early beta, remember You don't count tournament out just because it's not played on a released product.
