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.

This isn't a delay. For once, the game was scheduled to start at this time. There are theatres across the country syncing up showings.

There is big difference between Chinese and Eastern team, bro.


Which is fine but for the fact you're not even looking at MVP.

Yes, i absolutely ignored SEA vs China in my stats, because that's out of point. Also, where is your MVP top 3 or something?


The lack of another Eastern country in the last two years that is able to win the best of the West and China does not = we ignore the fact that there were only two Western teams in the last five teams of 2013, too.

So, you have the guts to claim that West>East despite it being top West teams ~ China > rest of West? Heh.


How is West not > China when the West win all the tournaments? I don't understand how you want to play this. Just because Secret failed this year, West < China? Even when China loses yet another tournament? What?

How about "EG is a good team and so are CDEC, LGD and VG"?


They are, and so are Secret, Virtus Pro, etc.

But at the end of the day, one group of these win tournaments, another don't.

EG, LGD, Secret and VG...?


Win international tournaments with the best teams there.

Short list of teams that won international tournaments with the best teams there after Spring shuffle:

1. Secret.

2. End of list.

I don't see why everyone wants to see a finals where one team is heavily favored to win by having an advantage.



this is actually why i hate any form of WB advantage in the finals.

if you play two sets, the first set loses a lot of its meaning when the team from the lower bracket is ahead. the games become less interesting when they dont change anything and just give us more meaningless games.
if you give a one map advantage and the team from the upper bracket wins the first game, game 2 and 3 lose all meaning if the team from the lower bracket is ahead or wins.


And at the same time you look at it from the other way around and you see a team from winners bracket never lose and then they never get a safety net like the lower bracket team thus even though the lower bracket team lost the same amount of sets they are the grand champions.

Takes any meaning from the championship. Having to have the loser's bracket claw at it and earn it through the advantage - THAT is a story and a hype moment.

TI2 is the only time the WB finalist lost in the Grand Finals, and the one time they did, it was 3-1 anyway. For all the hubbub people make about no WB advantage, it hasn't really made a difference.

Also, was not it working out in a way that TI2 schedule had LGD play 2 series in a row, Navi having a break between LB and GF and iG having like 1 game that day? Or was iG vs DK first match of final TI2 day?

iG played DK, LGD, and Na'Vi all in one day. I heard that YYF was vomiting in between matches.

Well, thankfully for them Navi went full retard in finals.

Na'Vi didn't go full retard, they lost because their selection of pocket Naga counters got figured out and they had absolutely nothing else left in the tank vs iG.

Navi did go full retard that series actually, if you re-watch it now. Hell, Navi were the ones picking Naga in 3/4 games as well (that was almost hilarious seeing Naga being first ban whole tournament getting last picked by Navi in game 1).

How did they go full retard? At the time, iG had better players on positions 1 through 5 who could play all the top heroes of the TI2 meta while Navi's drafts were severely restricted by XBOCT not knowing Morphling, Dendi not knowing TA or DK, Puppey being lackluster on any non-junglers, etc.

We don't even know if they're doing this right? Like they don't really acknowledge the finales in the rules so it's unclear what they are doing.
