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.

WEC actually had double elimination grand finals, with two sets of BO3 played and the winner bracket team having to only win one (or was it two sets of BO5? Doesn't matter either way).

Double elimination tournaments are inherently shitty though. I never understood gaming's fetish for them.

Double elimination exists because there is no consistency in team seeding and prize pool.

If DotA had a proper team ranking system and a prize pool spread across every tournament in the year, the single elim would be fine. It's a fucking horrible idea when seeding is entirely dependent on luck and tournaments can eclipse the total sum of everything else in a year.

Take this tournament for example. Top 6 teams, 5 were in Group B.


I'm sorry gimping the grand finals is stupid. You get 2 lives to rule out luck in surviving the bracket. If you want 3 mil. Earn it. Plenty of SC tournaments were shit with the 1 game advantage. It's a huge up in terms of strategic flexibility. All the tournament is is qualification for that one match.

Don't throw a fit just because EG might win lol

Oosa would be a great chant. OOO SA! OOO SA! "Yoooo Essss Eeeiii" just doesn't click with me, which is why I've never said it despite being American.

Are there any potential royal roaders that lost when they made it to the finals?

No, because there hasn't been any RR that made it to the TI finals.

Orange was the closest, but Orange was an invite team. They started their journey deep in the Lower Bracket.

I mean, royal roader in Dota 2 is iffy because if we count teams, then we have to count someone with 3 prior TI appearances as someone walking the royal road.

As for first-TI-appearance 5 players, there were none in finals before except TI1.

I worded that poorly i guess. I wanted answers from e-sports history in games like bw and sc2.


Yes, plenty.

I hope Vega largely sticks together. They're really solid.

Azarkon already said that "PPD won't lose to CDEC again."


he also said they wouldnt lose ever.

Also said Secret was unstoppable, Empire was third best in the world, C9 would shut out Chinese teams from the top 3, MVP would make Loser's Finals, VP would crush LGD...

Azarkon says a lot of things. We seriously need a log blog of all his flipflopping.


Sure, sure, but you fail to see the big idea, which is West > China this year. Doesn't matter how much I go from team to team; that's the idea I'm going for.

I mean, you are actually grasping for straws. EG will likely win, but West as a whole lost in grander picture, especially compared to Ti3.


There were only two Western teams above top Chinese teams in 2013. Did that stop people from saying West > China?

Exactly, 2, plus one NADota team knocked out another Chinese one (it was Bo1 but still), plus Dignitas did knock out Rattlesnake in first loser's round, huh. That's much better of West vs China record than this TI, huh.

Actually, fuck it, i am bored during the break:

West vs China at TI3: 5-2 in favor of West

West vs China at TI5: 3-7 in favor of China.

Yea people need to calm down about USA fanboyism. This event happens once a year and youre acting like you cant stomach it.

If it isn't complaining about USA chants, it'd be about why TI isn't in Europe, or Nahaz, or the All Star match, etc. People complain about the same shit every year. I've just learned to sit back and enjoy the salt.


Complaining against people complaining about USA USA USA is essentially the same as complaining about minorities complaining about the white advantage. You're complaining about other people being right.

Americans, and other western teams to a smaller extent, get a huge home field advantage and it's really telling if you are at the arena. It is good that the majors will be held in other countries and will hopefully be run by local organizations.

Anyways I will have a good laugh if CDEC wins despite the deck being stacked against them.


Always good to start your argument with "people that do not share my point of view are all wrong"

good shit
