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.

I just want to see CDEC winning

Greatest e-Sports story since Life's royal road.


i am actually very ok if cdec wins this. It is only good for the scene.

On the other hand, director8 is going to become legendary8 if they won this.


Well, he's already kinda legendary but if he wins the 2nd TI, we can say he'll be the greatest captain/player in Dota history


well i meant i am going to start calling him legendary8 if the team he lead won (yet again) this year lol

TI4 and TI5 proved to be the battle of captains.

If Secret had a dedicated one, they would've finished further.
I think their strategy is to dumpster bad Western teams (c) uriel

So, will EG choke like at TI4 or will they win it all?


They already choked by losing to CDEC

That was same level of choking as their loss to Newbee at TI4 tho, that's what is striking me, somehow TI5 and TI4 play out almost the same in the end, outside of unexpected top 8 Korean doto finish.


You have to be in a position of advantage to choke. CDEC 2-0'd EG in the cleanest way possible. I don't know how that's choking and not just simply a stronger team beating a weaker team.

C9 games - now those are what you call chokes.


I don't see how choking necessarily has anything to do with losing a lead. Choking indicates that you play much worse in that situation than you would normally because you can't handle the pressure. This can happen in the draft, in lane, or later on whenever. It doesn't have to be in a winning position.

Though in general I hate it when people call way too many things "chokes", completely dismisses the nature of the game itself. Players make mistakes in every single game anyway, sometimes smaller sometimes bigger.

For all i know, i actually don't undestand why PPD picks Fear heroes that only have 1 redeeming feature in those that being self-sufficient in laning phase (outside of niche AM picks) even if those heroes don't do shit in game itself.


This is kind of easy. Hint:

It's not because of Fear, but other players on the team.




Yeah I think alot of people don't understand how good Fear really is. I'm pretty sure Fear could actually take out Sumail in a 1v1 still, no joke.

Fear is just solid. He's not flashy, just solid. He is the back bone of the team and has the largest hero pool. He's played visage and puck when the team needed him to. Just a solid, well rounded player. Razor is just a hero with a limited role and clock on him. Fear would be better severed on a hero like AM, but it is always banned.



He's way more than a solid and well rounded player. He is easily the best player on that team skill wise, and yes even better than Sumail. In fact, when NA was at its weakest, everyone in EU and China from DotA 1 consistently rated Fear as one of the top 5 players in the world skillwise.

Someone said they talked to one of the violinist, so looks like we'll have a pre-game ceremony for the Grand Finals.

Choking is not the same as throwing. If you just don't perform up to your own standard, that's liable to being called a choke no matter how good the opposition is.

Universe in g1 yesterday, for example.
